Hello 👋🏽 I’m Nile.
Welcome to my corner of the internet, a space where curiosity, creativity, and a bit of experimentation all come together. I’m an explorer and lifelong learner.
The Gap Dēmĭstəfīed launched in 2023. This newsletter/blog is an evolving collection of content to help do-gooders do good in the world. What started as a free course during the pandemic to help people start their businesses later became a video series on LinkedIn.
Each edition is meant to be full of information and resources. No fluff. Fluff is for bunnies.

So, what exactly is the Gap Dēmĭstəfīed?
This educational resource is to help you close the strategy-to-execution gap.
The strategy-to-execution gap refers to the disconnect between a company's or solo/entrepreneur’s strategic plans and their actual implementation. A common problem arises when there is a lack of alignment, communication, and coordination between the strategy and execution stages of a project or initiative and capacity-building. This gap can result in failed or incomplete projects, missed opportunities, and lost revenue.
A great way to consider the gap is like a plane being one degree off course when it took off. A plane leaving LAX en route to JFK would land in New Jersey instead.
Do you ever feel like you took off with a destination in mind but landed someplace else with no idea how you got there?
The Gap Dēmĭstəfīed closes the execution gap with practical and tactical knowledge, equipping you to get and stay on course.
We get off course because we don’t know what to do, or we’re overwhelmed; we don’t know where to start. The Gap Dēmĭstəfīed breaks down complex topics into digestible steps and concepts.
Why do you spell Demystified like Dēmĭstəfīed?
I use the phonetic spelling of demystified to signify breaking down the complex into the simple.
What’s with the logo?
When people ride the tube (train) in London, sings warn them to ‘mind the gap’ between the train and the platform so they don’t fall in or get stuck. The Gap Dēmĭstəfīed logo resembles the sign for the tube stations.
This newsletter helps identify the gaps before falling in (and how to get out if you do).
