The Called Builder

In March 2026, I traveled to Cameroon and did something I had never done before — I walked into a prison. Not as an inmate. As someone who chose to show up. My mother has a habit of visiting prisoners — bringing food, toiletries, and presence. I finally joined her. We cooked together, we packed supplies, and we walked through those gates. What happened inside changed me forever. A man looked me in the eye and said seven words that I have not stopped thinking about since: "I had a calling. I just never answered it." The drive home took 45 minutes. It felt like 4 hours. The only thing playing in my mind was that sentence on repeat. Because I had to ask myself — what is the difference between that man and me? It was not talent. It was not intelligence. It was not opportunity. It was whether or not I answered. This episode is my answer. My name is Cyriac. By day I lead AI and technology initiatives at one of the largest school districts in America. By night and on weekends I am building Ubora Labs — a tech company creating digital platforms for the African market, all from Virginia. Faith is not decoration in my life. It is the foundation of every decision I make. And I believe with everything in me that the people God calls, He also equips. Including you. Especially you. In this first episode I share: The prison visit that rewired everything Why brilliant, talented, faith-filled people live at 40% of their capacity The Ubora origin story and what the name means Why being called means being responsible to move What Limitless & Co. is and who it is for This podcast is for the builders. The called ones. The people who feel something stirring inside them but have not yet answered. Every Thursday we talk about Faith. Wealth. AI. Africa. You were called to build. Now let's build.
