Thank you very much for bringing this Hero on CTA BECAUSE I thought i am the only person in the world who is going through staff like that..i was raised by single mum who was tough back then she made me not to go to play with other kids ..for what i didn't know she genuinely wanted to protect me
Jimmi Gathu should write a book about the things he has gone through. The things he cannot share now could fit perfectly in a book
true. He is a real Legend.
I second this. He is a well of knowledge specifically tailored to the Kenyan experience.
He should write a book❤.. thanks a jimmy!!.
Yes.... Which is then converted to a theatre play or a mini series
I feel validated by this conversation. It is not over with me. Thank you Jimmi for being vulnerable for us to learn.. Binged here all through.
Amen!!! God wants to bless you MIGHTILY but He needs to break you and remould you into the person He destined you to be! So please don't stop...don't be afraid or be scared of the pain that you will endure because at the end of that process, you will come out victorious and ready for God's blessings🙏🏽🙏🏽
What a powerful CTA!!! ....Proverbs 11: 25 - and those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed....we have been indeed been refreshed by this CTA - so many many gems!! Thank you Jimmi for sharing your story with us. May the future be even brighter for you!
I had this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. But after watching @jimmigathu the Theory is now FACT!
The BEST CTA I have watched this far. Big up @astarthelight you are what was needed FOUNDATIONAL life changing content on the internet. 🔥🔥🔥💯
People will never know how far a little kindness can go and @jimmigathu you are the biggest LEGEND Kenya has ever seen! Sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts. Asante Sana Mbuyu! #Mgenge2ru
Thank you @okwarayvonne for giving him his flowers 🌹 while his alive on all our behalfs and that last statement umesema! Asante Kwa kutuonyesha that watu wa MTAA can MAKE IT Powerful! ALUTA 🔥💯
This man, Jimmi Gathu, is a genius. We celebrate, appreciate and thank you Jimmi, for the influence and effect you/your story has had on many of us directly or indirectly. Astar, thanks for the great show and amazing engagement. God bless! 💌
A legend, Powerful strory. When someone says there's no God, they need to listen to such stories.
I have watched the entire convo. Nothing short of amazing. I knew Jimmi was a legend but the magnitude of his impact in the industry was underated. Excellent job. God bless👊🔥
I have watched. Jimmi Gathu is a role model. Character model. CTA thank you for this platform. Hapa kuna the Kenyan history that wasn't recorded in history books. There should be more life story videos. We learn, we relate, we pick up ideas, we get encouraged, we get a better understanding.... Ahsante sana!
I love how Jimmi acknowledges God having worked through him to nature talents in the media not leaving behind that letting God work on him too during his tough season.His life story is an inspiration, encouragement , optimising the chances that present themselves in life , and making an impact by adding value into pple and the society.Accepting the seasons you are in and involving God. Thank you Jimmi am so inspired.
Astar, believe me or not.. this CTA is one of the Powerful Platforms of all time... I know am writing this on the 18th of October 2023 and I know generations to come will approve this by comments and likes like never before.
For Jimmi Gathu, I have watched you since I was young from the early 90's u mentioned about Club Kiboko and the Music Collections ... And almost 33 years now I have known u better.
Like Astar says, you truly don't know people and until you take time to know about them.
Be blessed.
Warm regards,
Swaleh Mambeya aka Leswaz Dullaz

I agree, such necessary content! We are dealing with an epidemic of toxic content, podcasts, blogs, CTA is like a spiritual cleanse!

Astar - showing people the limelight isn't everything but The Light. The Truth, The Way &The Life - Jesus Christ our Savior. Let CTA be a greater platform.
It takes a really strong man to speak about his personal struggles regardless of what people will think of him. Big up man...... Jimmi you need to write a memoir, the wisdom
This is so raw and real, there is big city pandemic in Nairobi where everyone wants to look like they are doing well, they are balling...and it comes with pressure. There is also a weird thing where people enjoy seeing someone who was doing well fail...I love how he has shared this struggle, his journey, his growth, so many young Kenyan men will be blessed learning from this. Thanks Jimmi and Thanks Richie!
I shed a tear .God please keep Jimmi Gathu .He is an ispiration ,19-10-2023
I have watched,Jimmy literally raised me and my bro...we would rush home tufike by 6,put on the teli, Rap em on full blast hakuna kukaa chini for 30 minutes....then I remember his music video ya speed kills...thanks
Watching again Jimmy met you back then at the bank you were a client;a gem then humble to the core and you still are.God bless you
One of the best CTA's hands down. I hope Jimmy lives knowing he is an inspiration to many people out here. A living legend amongst us !
8 months later, but at exactly 11:11 today (July 3rd 2024) I asked God to show me a sign that everything is okay despite everything that is currently happening in my life, and I've been led here through tiktok; Truly inspired and blessed. So I keep going, the worst will never come. Thank you CTA and Gathu for this interview.
A real life example and reminder that life is dynamic. Everyone goes through the wilderness no matter how easy we think they are having it. As Jimmi has been used to raise many, may God raise him beyond his expectation. May his latter indeed be greater than his past. This was awesome A star. Asanteni CTA
Thank you for watching 🙏
Jimmy, thank you so much for sharing WHEN YOU WERE READY.
Thank you for honoring your process and turning out the noise.
Thank you for doing THE WORK.
Thank you for watching 🙏
I made it to the last episode. This is one of the best interviews on this channel.
To the future generations: history was made by Jimmi and his peers. Don't dim the light.
To Astar & Crew, great job as usual. ❤❤
Jimmi Gathu is the next Head of Radio or TV somewhere in Jesus name. Just as he professed at the beginning about never retiring from media. May it be!. Amen
Jimmi Gathu is undeniably a Kenyan entertainment powerhouse. No matter how hard and vulnerable his renewal made him, it was completely necessary.
I've always been a fan all through ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching 🙏
Wow!!!! i haven't binge watched a CTA series like this one in a while. Just when you start to think its over , God shows you its only just the beginning, that He has got you and has been with you through it all. Thank you Jimmi for sharing your story with us. Be blessed
CTA shud be changed to Cleaning My Heart Out, your chair needs a name. Coz that’s a therapy seat right there.
No guest knows what they are walking into. Then halfway into pouring their heart out, they see the road God has taken them thru.
👏🏽 😊
Maaan! I sat down and watched the entire interview and couldn't blink a bit. Thank you so much CTA and Jimmi for this amazing conversation. This has really changed my perspective on so many things because I was on the verge of resigning from my current job.
Thank you so so much guys. God bless.
Jimmi,U remain relevant.You have been a vessel of honour by God.Very inspiring story,May God tune around your life to even better for his own glory,I am super inspired and have learnt soooo much from you.Thank you for being a big source of hope.....truly God ni Msoo
This CTA series has really uplifted me waaaay beyond my imagination. When Jimmi started, he said he fasted cos he wanted to be a pastor and It is a full circle moment ! This has been a sermon! A life lived sermoned. Nothing is wasted for sure! Long Live CTA. I also pray Jimmi gets reinstated and restored *10 times over!
TO OUR 2 GENTLEMEN BEHIND THE SCENES, WE SEE YOU, ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU BOTH! THANK YOU!
Wamai and Izzo!✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This Guy is a Walking Magnate .. Iam in total awe.
inspiration, motivation & educational from J GATHU.(RICHIE BE BLESSED).I have wached it all
"You can't and shouldn't walk alone" What a nice way of crowning it all off...Thank you so much Jimmi Gathu for your time... 😍
I'm that one person who didn't know how much she needed this interview. Thank you Richie, Thank you Jimmi Gathu for the vulnerability. ❤❤
O my! On top of such an awesome interview.....you ended in prayer!!! Ok. Am subscribing. This interview has taken me back memory lane from my childhood (am 40), used to see Jimmi as this extra ordinary fellow.....he still is but now I totally respect you. Yaani you made ways for so many. Also you've given hope for things we go thru that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you!
Jimmy Gathu is one person i have always wanted to meet in person to just learn from. Good job CTA
I have watched to the very end. I have new found respect for Jimmi. Mungu ambariki sana tu sana. All I can say to Jimmi and everyone who has been in the pits is - Theirs a requisite level of failure you must carry as a badge because failure is just as important as success. The scar of loosing on anything be it a job, a deal, a relationship etc and then come out of it with the help of God gives you a good balance in life and you become untouchable.
I've watched them all and all I can say is Thank You Jimmi Gathu. You're a blessing to this nation.
Thanks Richie for this interview and thank you Jimmie for your story and especially talking about your daughters reaching out to you at your lowest moments. This was for me. I think my dad really needs us his kids at the moment and we will now check him daily until he rises out of it. A million thanks!
This is the best CTA conversation ever. Thanks Astar for this platform. Jimmi Gathu thanks for sharing your vulnerability. Healing from childhood trauma can be a very lonely journey. Your family, friends and significant other may never fully understand it. Understand that you do not need to apologize for who you become after you survive. Please right a book to share your journey. Remain blessed 🙏🏾🌹🌹💕
*write
I had just started to believe that I am not enough(told severally this year from some quotas) but thanks Jimmi. I am glad I watched all the 25 videos.
I have watched! Been saving listening to Jimmi's Interview for a while, and today felt like the right time. Maaaaann this is a gem! Na feel nikama niwatch series nzima, glad nimeiskia at this point in life. God azidi kukubariki Jimmi na Astar and crew pia 🙏🏽
I have watched the entire interview all the way from Uganda with a bout of malaria, and I'm truly inspired. Thank you, CTA, for bringing him to the show, and thank you, Jimmi Gathu, for sharing your story with us.
One of the best CTAs interviews. Raw to the core!!!! Thank you Jimmi for highlighting your story in the most vulnerable way possible! Barikwa
Thank you for watching 🙏
Thank you Jimmi for your vulnerability on CTA. You've encouraged so many of us without you knowing. You are a testament that grants 2nd,3rd,4th and endless chances. Never give up in life,unless you're giving your worries+cares to God to take over
Watching this was not only entertaining but also eye opening.
Childhood trauma needs to be addressed.
Let us be the support we need from others.
That is a strong man right there. May God bless him.
I have watched thank you, Jimmi, for being brave and generous to share your story and being vulnerable. We are grateful
Thank you Jimmy for acknowledging that only God can lift us once again.
I won't call this an interview. Because this is the most powerful session i have had to watch. I have continuously watched the episodes nonstop. Like I just want to listen more and more.
I am so blessed by this CTA.
I am so proud of you Richard and Jimmi for your contribution to this and the next generation. Am so happy how God can mould and remould His vessel.
I say this for all your interviews but this truly is theee best CTA ever.
Co-sign everyone saying he should write a book. I will buy 10 copies and the audiobook.🙂
Thank you for watching 🙏
Thank you A-star, Thank you Jimmi, Thank you CTA. My take home, "The worst will never happen." This was a life-changing conversation.
Jimmy's CTA and Collo (klepto) are a must watch. They are both very inspiring.
Very Jovial Person, Thank you for sharing your Journey coz I know it will impact a lot of people not only Men. When we walk with God, he never leaves Us even when we don't understand his ways he always guides us. That is why his words say "Don't lean on your won understanding". May God bless you Jimmi
This conversation with Jimmi has made Me realize that what I am going through, one of the greatest talents Jimmi Gathu has gone through it too. I am happy and grateful to God for Jimmi's redemption and his sharing of his story in a very real and vulnerable way. My takeaway is to go through the seasons of pain, loss, agony, and grief and to call on God and allow Him to mold me into a better version of Me. Also to use my pain and channel it into something great and pour my passion into it. Thank you Richie for this great conversation and we truly do stand on the shoulders of The Great Jimmi Gathu.
Richie, thank you so much for loving and honoring Jimmy Gathu like you have.
Chain example is so deep! CTA will be televised to generations 🔥🔥 God bless
Thank you for watching 🙏
I am now introspecting and beginning to understand some of the things I am dealing with in life, based of Jimmi Gathu's story, thank you Jimmi for sharing and Astar and team for this platform. God bless you all
I've been looking for Something for the last 3 days, I got the answer from the prayer you made to Jimmi. Thank you
Thank you for watching 🙏 and so glad to hear this. GOD Bless
Thank you Richard A-Star! This one was a long time coming and boy did Jimmi G takes us through a journey (albeit very condensed)? For what its worth, just by being on this platform he's already reinventing himself and though battered and wounded, the stronger for the remaining phase of life's journey.
They should have him in the media classes in higher learning institutions to understand how to pivot from one medium to another like Jimmi G did. Perhaps he should also start a podcast, I'm sure his story-telling skills will come in handy.
I've followed your journey from way back and you remain a role model to many, myself included...thanks again for the tough and candid conversations...to summarize this
“In order to rise , from its own ashes, a phoenix first must burn.” - Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
Thank you Jimmi for speaking to so many of us. You're indeed a blessing. Richie, that was the best prayer and Amen to that
Thank you for watching 🙏

Thank you for watching 🙏
Best CTA ever. Thankyou Richie. And a big thankyou to Jimmi Gathu

What a man!! Simply the best. Having grown up in the 90s and going through this journey with him is just wow. God Bless you Jimmi. Your best is yet to come.
Didn't want it to end.
Just to say that this series deserves to be televised on national TV and Kenyans need to see and know why media is what it is today. Actually this should have been the inaugural cta series cz mehn most if not all media personalities thriving in their careers today stand on this great shoulders.
Jimmi Gathu deserves a Presidential award just to honour him for the path he has curved for many entertainers.
This series has been out of this World I tell you!! 🔥 🔥
When I saw Jimmi Gathu on CTA, I definitely told myself that this a must watch. Jimmi Gathu to me is the one of the few celebrities worth the title and I regard highly. Jimmi Gathu is a LEGEND❤
Thank you for watching 🙏
This is the place of vulnerability, a place of renewal. You can see God in all this even without mentioning Him. Thank you Jimmi for your selflessness in shaping the Kenyan media.

I just finished watching (1st time CTA watcher& immediate subscriber) and this was the last place i thought I'd get inspiration from.

Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for watching and God Bless you 🙏
Just finished watching the entire conversation. Thank you for reminding us that we are unique and the importance of knowing who we are and whose we are

I have watched the entire CTA and shed tears several times
What an amazing story from Jimmi Gathu. I've watched for two days! God bless you all
My heart is full... thank you Jimmi for sharing your story! you are blessed and highly favored.
Richie, I have watched. We grew up with Jimmi in our faces and our ears but I didn't realize until this interview, how profound his work has been in steering media in this country. The impact of it, no one can ever take that away from him. He is indeed an archive and a phenomenal talent. If there's anything I am learning in life is that we should stick with God from day 1, his way is much easier. But there's also a deeper appreciation and beauty in having to find yourself and getting to see yourself the way God sees you after walking in the mirk and mire that's this world. All the best Jimmi.
My favorite CTA ever!..First comment on this channel...Mad respect to him for being so vulnerable...I hope right now he knows he has no expiry date,he is a legend💪
I have watched and let me tell you Jimmy Gathu deserves a standing ovation.
Thank you for watching 🙏
Jimmi should write a book for all those things that were not able to be shared on TV..Awesome CTA
Living legend 🎉🎉🎉 great stuff CTA baraka tele. Big lesson learnt uplift others when you get a chance without expecting anything in return. Put God first in all your endeavours. Know yourself or purpose.Cheers.
Jimmi, I've followed your whole series. You're only 9yrs my senior. Followed you through life up to the point I left Kenya and I'm right in the middle of the same rabbit hole of struggles and getting to understand my circumstances here in the UK.... the only way is up. You've really empowered me through your interview bro. Maybe I'll meet you one day and just give you a hug bro. Thank you, bless man, one love❤
I have watched. The worst never comes. Thank you Jimmi Gathu
I have watched, learned and cry. And am going to watch again. Thank you Jimmi Gathu, God bless you.
It was an honour watching you Jimmi, thank you for sharing your life story. Your older brother Webman Gathu used to mentor me circa 2011 when I was new in motorcycling. You share the same humility. 👊🏽
I watched Jimmi Gathu transform Kenyan TV landscape in the early 90s as a teen. You're a legend and nothing can take that away. Thanks for sharing your journey. Tnx cta❤
