Everyone meet my business partner, Sfiso Sibanyoni. 8 years ago, Sfiso and I ventured into business together, thankfully our business stood the test of time and the same can be said about our business relationship. That is because we have always allowed each other room to grow, to learn, to falter, to be seen and heard.

He holds very bold and brave, unconventional viewpoints which have fascinated me over the years, we don't agree on everything but this quote has helped us respect and appreciate that we are both phenomenal beings with something special to share. 'It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to hold a thought without accepting it'.

In this conversation, we unpack his unconventional view points on school, religion, life and death and his beautiful articulation of success.

This was a brave conversation, one we are grateful to have had. After a sudden collapse at work, followed by hospitalization and months of recovery later, this brave single mother, Tendani Ramovha made the decision to walk away from her workplace in pursuit of something else.

I met Tish and Cabby Magongwa over 15 years ago on their wedding day. Both were and still are highly driven, accomplished, and loving individuals.

A few years ago, two beautiful children later… they decided to part ways and got divorced. What is quite interesting is the respect and love they have for their family.

They joined me in the studio to have a brave conversation about the build-up to their divorce and their current lives, but more importantly to discuss how they are co-parenting successfully with love and

respect at the centre of it all.

At just 23 years old, not only is Tshego braving the skies as a Flight Instructor, she is also braving the male dominated Aviation industry as a whole.

Susan is the Head of Data & Analytics at Standard Bank South Africa. If confidence were a person, she would be it. She told me how she navigates the complexity of being the youngest member of a team she leads and how she has had to prove herself worthy of their respect.

Mzamo Masito is the Chief Marketing Officer at Google Africa.

The conversation we had was truly elightening. He dropped so many nuggets that we struggled to produce just 1 promo video, so instead, we produced 4.

He is a Marketing machine with very strong convictions about himself. Self efficacy and continuous improvement are guiding principles I've taken away from our conversation. There's plenty nuggets to apply to your life.
