The Memory Merchant: Hustle Reborn On the streets of kanairo, where the air buzzed with the grind of Nairobi’s young and hungry, Biko sat under his trusty baobab tree. Vendors shouted prices, boda bodas zoomed past, and the city’s pulse never missed a beat. But Biko wasn’t like the other hustlers selling second-hand clothes or smoky mutura. He had something far more powerful—a machine that could sell memories. And business was booming.

But it wasn’t enough. Biko knew there was more to this hustle game. After all, everyone in this city had something they were chasing—a better life, a successful business, or even just a break from the constant grind. So, when a young man approached him with an idea that could change the entire game, Biko knew he was onto something big. The guy was sharp. Maybe mid-20s, probably hustling just like everyone else, but with a fire in his eyes that said he wasn’t here for handouts. “Biko, I’ve heard what you can do,” he said, crossing his arms. “But what if, instead of selling memories, you sold futures?” Biko chuckled, leaning back. “Futures, eh? Tell me more.” “Look around, man,” the guy said, gesturing at the chaos of Nairobi life. “Everyone’s hustling. But some of us don’t need memories of the past—we need to see the future, to know what it feels like to make it. You give people that vision of their success—what they’re capable of—and I guarantee, they’ll work ten times harder to get there.” Biko’s eyebrows shot up. The idea was so fresh, so wild… it just might work. “You want me to sell hope?” he asked, intrigued. “No, man. Not just hope. You’re selling belief. Picture this: a jamaa walks into your booth, and you don’t just show him the past. You show him his future hustle—the restaurant he could open, the tech startup he could launch, the fleet of boda bodas he could own. You give him that vision, and you back it up with steps on how to make it happen. Now, that’s a hustle no one’s seen coming.” Biko leaned forward, a sly grin spreading across his face. “Msee, uko na point.” And that’s how the Future Hustle Vision was born.

Introducing the Future Hustle Booth The next day, they were ready. Biko had reworked his memory machine to show not just the past, but the possible future—your future. Hustlers from all over Nairobi flocked to see what their potential looked like. One of the first customers was a lady selling groceries at the side of the road. She'd been stuck in the same grind for years, never moving forward, never expanding.

"Unataka kuona nini?" Biko asked. She sighed, wiping her brow. "Nataka kuona how I can make more than just ends meet." Biko smiled and hooked her up to the machine. Within minutes, she was in a vision—her small grocery shack had transformed into a fully-stocked wholesale shop. She was managing suppliers, running deliveries, and even launching her own line of organic products. When the vision ended, she was speechless. "That could be me?" she whispered, hope flickering in her eyes. "Not could be," Biko said with a wink. "It is you, if you follow the steps. Start by expanding your network. Get a few big suppliers on board, and slowly grow your inventory. Think wholesale." The fire in her eyes blazed brighter. "Sawa," she said, determination etched into every word. • Lesson #1: Sometimes, the only thing stopping you from growing your hustle is the vision. It doesn’t matter whether you’re selling groceries or car parts—if you can see the big picture, you’ll find a way to make it happen.

Then came Kimani, a boda boda rider who had been on the streets for years. Hustling was all he knew, but he was tired of the grind. He wanted more.

"Unataka kuona nini, bro?" Biko asked. "I want to own something. My own business," Kimani replied, his voice filled with frustration. Biko hooked him up, and Kimani was suddenly transported to a future where he wasn’t just riding boda bodas—he owned a fleet. He had riders working under him, handling delivery services for big companies, and even branching out into logistics. When Kimani snapped out of the vision, his jaw dropped. "How do I even start?" he asked, his voice shaking with excitement. "Pole pole," Biko replied. "Start by saving a little from every ride. Then, buy your first boda and rent it out. Soon, you'll have enough to buy a second, then a third. Before you know it, you'll have a fleet." • Lesson #2: Owning a business is just a series of small steps. You don’t have to jump from boda rider to CEO in a day. Start small, scale up, and before you know it, you'll be running the streets.

Next came Njeri, a tech-savvy young woman who was tired of working odd jobs while her coding skills sat on the sidelines.

"I want to build something," she said. "Something big." Biko smiled and attached the machine. Njeri's future appeared before her—a tech startup buzzing with developers, creating an app that revolutionized e-commerce for local vendors. In the vision, she had clients all over Kenya, investors lining up, and she was giving talks at conferences about her journey. When it ended, Njeri was breathless. “That… that was incredible,” she said, her eyes wide with excitement. “Then make it happen,” Biko replied. “Use your coding skills to solve a problem. Look around—the informal market is massive. Build something that helps these vendors connect with customers online.” Njeri nodded, her mind already racing with ideas. • Lesson #3: If you’ve got a skill—whether it’s coding, marketing, or graphic design—turn it into a business. Solve a problem for your community, and you won’t just make money—you’ll create something with real impact.

Before long, word of the Future Hustle Booth spread like wildfire. Every day, young Kenyans lined up to see their future selves. And every day, Biko and his new partner delivered visions of success—each one tailored to the person’s potential. From small-time mitumba sellers who saw themselves owning boutiques to aspiring musicians who envisioned sold-out concerts, Biko showed them all what was possible.
