Anthony Muiyuro's Zen wisdom for parenting and life

By the time one is done with Anthony Muiyuro, it feels like a religious experience, his theology of relentless focus converting even the most ascetic of atheists. He is the ultimate evangelical missionary—at once an apostle of hard work, and simultaneously, its staunchest disciple. Isn’t it a wonder then that he made partner, Risk Advisory and Cybersecurity Leader at Deloitte East Africa?

Even listening to him you can pick up his unshakeable belief. He speaks in Zen wisdom, dropping nuggets of ‘put-it-on-a-sticker’ bytes: “Become the light that lights up the tunnel.” “Knowledge is a reservoir.” “Some things are taught, and some things are caught.” It’s the kind of detail that a man might drop about himself but would be less likely to point out about another man.

He would make for a great motivational speaker—you are either getting inspired or offended. But people much wiser than me would tell you it’s not bragging if you can back it up. His business card reads: MSc, CISA, CRISC, CDPSE, CSXF, ITIL, are you still following? At the chic Capital Club in Nairobi's Westlands, he talks of how he met his wife, his trans-generational library, and picking up the latest gossip...from his children.

How is it being a young father?
