Conversations Worth Having: Why We Need the "Fluff"

I was speaking to a colleague recently about the importance of challenging ourselves and tackling the difficult things at work. But as we talked, another thought came to mind: When do we actually decide to post or write?

Usually, we wait until we have something we deem "important" to say. We wait for the big milestones, the heavy industry insights, or the life-changing topics.

But what happens to the rest of it?

Think about everyday human conversation. The vast majority of what we talk about isn’t life-altering. It’s the "fluff"—the meaningless yet profoundly meaningful chats that only seem to matter when we reflect on them later. That "fluff" is the actual human experience, and we are better for it.

So why do we lose that the second we sit down to write?

In the professional world, we often strip away the human element to sound polished or efficient. But what is our work without it? What is a team meeting without those small moments of connection?

In real estate, people are the absolute core of what I do. Losing the human experience means losing the very element that makes this job meaningful. If we only post or speak when we think it’s strictly "important," we aren't really functioning as people anymore. We become machines, like AI, and we lose touch with the humans we are supposed to be helping.

This is my call to action for you today: Take a moment and write what you’re really thinking. Admire it for its honesty, and then use that in your work life.

That human element isn't just nice to have; it is essential. It is exactly what will help us stay truly connected in a world increasingly run by machines.

Misrepresentation

By Godwin
  Real estate in Zimbabwe can be incredibly rewarding—or painfully costly. The difference often comes down to one word: misrepresentation . Whether you’re buying your first stand or selling a family home, the real estate space can quickly turn from a dream to a nightmare if the truth is distorted. Let's unpack the different forms of misrepresentation, what it costs you, and how to avoid it. What Is Property Misrepresentation? Misrepresentation happens when false or misleading information is presented about a property. Sometimes it’s intentional, other times it’s just careless. But no matter the intent, the damage can be real. Here are the three types: 1. Fraudulent Misrepresentation This is deliberate deception. A seller or agent knowingly lies—maybe about the condition of the home, the legal status of the property, or editing photos to hide structural problems. Example: A listing shows a clean, newly renovated house, but in reality, it has foundational cracks and severe plumbing ...

Understanding Title Deeds in Zimbabwe: What Every Buyer and Seller Must Know

By Godwin

Whether you're buying, selling, or investing in land or houses, understanding title deeds is not just important—it's essential. This blog post breaks down what a title deed is, why it matters, and how to avoid common pitfalls. 1. What is a Title Deed? A title deed is a legal document proving ownership of a piece of land or property.
