  1. When I have burning questions, when I want to know something, because when you're in the night shift, I will say I'm not much of a newspaper person or news. Is my way to go

  2. You do with it I learned about ChatGPT through a YouTube channel and also I have colleagues who are so much impressed by it. And I just like the way it makes work easier for everybody. But it also poses as a threat because once you're getting the AI to do all that stuff for you, you might not need the employees as you do.

  3. Is the next thing I want to learn? Right now, the way the country is evolving, I believe it's all about gaining a skill. You need to have a skill because employment, the deductions are getting worse and you'll rather be self-employed than it is being an employee. So for the skills, I would like to learn more about technology. I don't want to be left behind. I want to learn more.

  4. Interacting with people short takes a lot of courage and humility because not everybody is quite friendly. Some people just come, like I said, they want to unwind their days and sometimes they're not that good because they can be harsh at times. So that part world is something that I would really like to. Impound on the humility part because it's a bit tricky, I will say that.

  5. School is important, the school beat is important because the papers will also help a great deal. But it's all about it all narrows down to what you learn on the ground because mostly what is in the books is not what normally happens in the places of work. It's very different.

  6. There's a lot and there's procurement in almost everything, be it hospitals, be it companies, be it the hotels, be it schools, procurement is everywhere. And it's fascinating how people do that.

  7. I will mind to because it is something that I'm passionate about. But what I did in school was the procurement, the supply chain management.

  8. It's all about giving a place a chance because coming to Kambu for me, I mostly came because of school around the Kambo Institute and me moving to Tato City was closer to school and still closer to where I work.

  9. The people have not opened up their mind as they should, like I said. So for the women around that place, it's more of like a home-based thing. Not many of them go out to look for jobs or even want to do much about studies. They just know they should stick around at home to help their husbands and all and raise children.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  10. Let me say, like, in case you're having disputes Or let's see, one when you see an owl, they say that somebody's gonna die or something.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  11. Yes, that is one. And the people are a bit closed-minded about opening up their minds to things. They make it more superstitious than it should be.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  12. I have been there like a couple of times and I can't say I have seen as many changes as I would expect to see in that span of years.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  13. Yes, they are. You know, our place is near Mount Kenya, like I said, and sometimes they run away from the forests and they are coming to people's shambas to eat. So they can be a bit scary.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  14. It's exciting because you know you're not used to singing them on a daily basis and it's always fascinating to see animals.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  15. People right now are trying to find their way back because COVID really affected a bunch of people. Many people became jobless, relating with one another became an issue because of the social distancing.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  16. It was quite hard and it actually delayed my school year. I had to extend time in school comparing to what I would have. And it was tough. It was tough times.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  17. Okay, I have been in different schools in primary, in secondary. I was in one. Schools, or how do I say it? It all depends on the schools because we have the public sector and the private sectors and the tool can never match, cannot match or even come close.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  18. Now, what they're doing is called the CBC They have a variety of things they are teaching in schools, some that were not even teachable before. They're even teaching PE in schools nowadays.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  19. No, but I wouldn't say the management in Kenya is quite as good as our neighbors around We're all working our way to try to improve lives around.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  20. I'm not sure how that is going to be going in the next few weeks or months because with the GMU cutout. I don't know how that is going to work out.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  21. I wouldn't say it's distant because every Kenyan is a human. And I believe so long as no one is trying to attack the other one and we're all trying to live in peace, everything is going to work out quite fine because it's all about the peace and the humanity and the friendship between the countries.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  22. Yeah, it is because in terms of leadership, we're given equal rights, in terms of speaking our minds out, it's allowed. I think it's quite okay. Just need to work your way up to the top.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  23. That's a tricky and interesting topic at the same time, but I really don't get what teaching it is that these people are getting to the extent that they can go and undergo the fasting session and the leader is not undergoing the same thing. That is something that is controversial. It is weird. I'm not in support of it.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  24. It does concern me because I'm also affected because I work six days in a week and Sunday is one of the busiest days you can never get enough day on Sunday. So personally for me, I will say it has affected Kenyans a lot. Walk-wise. Yeah.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  25. The unity, there's no much diversity as it is in the Protestants because whatever is being taught in the American church is whatever is being taught in the. Village church, we have the same Bibles, the same readings, scriptures for every Sunday. It's programmed that so long as you're in the Catholic, you're getting the same information.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  26. Not so good. It is an in between because we all had something to learn. Like the Christianity mode came along that time. Least to go to learn something from them.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  27. History taught us a lot about what happened in the past. But with time, we have seen the changes and by now people have adjusted to the day-to-day living.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  28. Is changing quite a lot because. With time, the people are forgetting about their indigenous foods that we used to get at home. Right now, around Nairobi, given that it's more residential place, you don't find a lot of places where people want to grow this stuff. And the thought of getting them from the villages and transporting them to where you are can be quite hectic because some may spoil on the way. The budget may be just not pocket friendly. So, yeah, people are more reliable on the junk food parts around Nairobi than it is around the village areas.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  29. The world can fix it, but it all starts with an individual,'cause once you want to change it and you influence the people you're hanging out with or the people you have around. Like that, and maybe with time we might see some changes

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  30. But the platforms, the fact that nobody knows who's talking to who makes people have the courage to speak out what they want and not everything that they do speak out is good.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  31. No, I wouldn't say that because it's all about the upbringing. Yeah. And it happens in every place, different countries. Yeah.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  32. I think it's a nice place, but I will say that Blending in, or do I say fitting in before you actually do familiarize yourself with everything that goes on around? That could be quite a challenge.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  33. For me, I don't think I have much to say about it. I'm just happy everybody is trying to find their way. Because when they come and they make things a bit cheaper for us, that is exactly what we need.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  34. It's too little sometimes because when I'm tired from work, sometimes I don't even look at my phone. I just want to get to bed and sleep.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  35. It's the storyline for me because the power started when I was quite a bit young and I have seen the people who are acting grow till death and they're still doing it. So I've seen them grow in that industry. And the storyline is quite captivating.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  36. I enjoy my company and your own company, yeah. The movies, it's the storyline for me. When I start a movie and I love the storyline, I just want to go with it till the very end.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  37. I used to do physical, and also WhatsApp used to help me a lot by then reach out to my friends, reach out to people from school.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  38. It will be a bit hard, I will say. I actually try to start selling clothes a while back, sometime last year, but one. And it was a bit hectic, one reaching out to people, second before finding a spot, and the permits, as you said, so you find the kanjo people, as they call them, they are quite distracting for the people who are trying to start up their businesses.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  39. a little bit of both. We could use both because right now we need a complete change around the government. We need to switch things up a bit so we can run smoothly like we used to a while back.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  40. Everything I just have a million questions I would like to ask them because the management controls everything, the government governs everything. So they are the ones who are calling the shots. And right now what they're doing, they're pressing on people so much.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  41. I will have a mixed match of everything, more like giving the people what they want. Because from where I'm at, I can be able to see what it is that people love, what they like. I can visualize on that.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  42. Okay, I took the job because one I'm passionate about the hospitality industry. I love that the way you go to a place that is not your own and you meet different people and you get to get a treatment that will make you remember the place and want to go back there over and over again. Also in restaurants, that is where you find people mostly want to unwind about their days. So the people can be quite talkative and it's amazing. You get to interact with different people from different places.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  43. I wouldn't say that. I will say I'm going to rise, but I do love Gali. Because where I'm from, rice is like readily available because we're just around the Muir region. And that is where you get the best rice, the pichore rice.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  44. I think they do because depending on the turn up I see at work on a daily basis many people prefer to go for the goat that age.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  45. Right now, we're doing the beef chicken goat, but in our main restaurant in carnivore, they offer all that the world, even the crocodiles.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  46. Will didn't call it a mistake, but when we are a bit overwhelmed, we have like five, six tables you're handling and they all want your attention. So you can be there all at once. So somebody has to step in to help out.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  47. Sure, the restaurant is roasted by carnivore. Right now I'm the waiter Strokhostas, but hostess is my main thing. I just help out a bit in service, interacting with people because as a hostess, in overall, I manage and make sure that all the guests visiting the restaurant, they are served quite right. They have everything they need. Yeah, and just checking up on them every once in a while.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  48. Mostly it's more about having fun, just letting lose a bit from the normal schedule and work and everything. Also, it's a nice way to hang out with friends. Like you all can catch up and talk about what has been going on because we're all on different paths right now.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  49. For me in music, it's about the message conveyed in the music. I'm more of an old soul, the West Life kind of vibe. Yeah.

    2023-11-02 · Conversations with Tyler · Harriet Karimi Muriithi on Life in Kenya · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  50. Evolving technology that is coming along. You could say the AI, you can see the people who are privileged on, like they have money, they help a lot of people, they just create a random way of reaching out to people who actually need their help.
