Many of us know Mr. Geerdts as “Arnie.” Whether its on TV, as an MC or at races as a fellow competitor. In todays episode we took a run down memory lane as well as looked to into the future with this awesome individual. 

In the interview Arnie talks easily about his career, mistakes made and highlights enjoyed.  

The central theme is one of constant openness in order to learn and grow.  As a media figure Arnie’s work life has been rewarding but is often uncertain and his advice for young people speaks of hard knocks. His faith shines through and with his positive demeanor its easy to imagine him as a great in person facilitator.   When asked which two individuals he would like to interview, his answer was really interesting. The first guest would have been Madiba and the second…a surprise. 

As a point of advice for young athletes, Arnie suggests that whilst they are still earning good money they should invest in themselves (public speaking lessons), learn how to transfer knowledge into the workplace and learn to save money early. 

This interview was a pleasure to do and I hope you enjoy it. As Arnie wrapped it up with a quote from Simon Sinek – “Don’t show up to prove, show up to improve.”
