Sometimes you plan a particular convo and then another incredible one emerges!

Exactly what happened in this week’s episode of #AdjacentConversations with the truly incredible Papama Mtwisha

I mean wow! I didn’t want it to end! This one truly was for the books!

The lessons here on trusting intention, the power of feeling, the very ethos you literally sew and pray into your products! I started this convo with the goal to find out Papama’s secret sauce to getting @AfricaYourTimeIsNow to global scale and I left with finding out the real hack to personal and business success! The internal work is even more important that typically where we focus - margins, models, scale, production, etc. Papama’s power in vulnerability and truth is certainly something to be admired.

Listen. Rewind. Listen Again!

What a conversation on this week’s #AdjacentConversations with one of my favorite entrepreneurs @Theo Baloyi 

The topic this week is “Scaling Your Vision Tangibly” and we had a very frank conversation about Theo’s story from Alex to one of Africa’s leading footwear brands, Bathu

Theo shared his perspective and lessons learned from his time at accountant and his particular focus on building a sustainable ecosystem and value chain from design to manufacturing to logistics to warehousing to retail. This man's vision for managing this scale is truly brilliant and not something we often see with "youth."

Tune in and enjoy! This was one of our most insightful based convo's thus far and offered true tangible examples to scaling your dream!

Not only is Legend a peer and friend but a media mogul in progress with a history in pr, print, tv as well as film. Over the years I’ve looked to him as an inspiration to level up professionally and admired his eye for all things visually beautiful and crisp.

Given the ongoing turmoil and change particularly across media, this week we want to to dive deep into what that means for a business owner like himself and where things may go next. Legend shared his journey in the industry, using one opportunity to leverage the next and the next. A true lesson in constantly adapting to the times!
