  • Coffee & Socks Sessions Trailer 2021

    Hey, I’m Preneil and this is the Coffee & Socks Sessions Podcast  The first thing I do when I wake up is put on a pair of socks, make a cup of coffee, and turn on some music. I became known as the guy who would always have socks on and it’s still the same to this day. I don’t even think my wife has seen my feet. Over time, this became of time of reflection, questions, curiosity, unanswered questions, and… more coffee. In this podcast series, we’ll get to connect with people from around the world and talk about how we’re all navigating through life and trying to make it work. I've met some really incredible and interesting people in my life and I'd like you to get to know them, too. 

    We'll get to chat with people from various industries like, music, digital, psychology, marketing, and an abundance of talented creatives from South Africa and around the world. The people who know me know how much I love music, history, a good conspiracy theory, and pretty much any topic that creates interesting conversations. 

    I look forward to learning about life with you all.

  • Ink & Alette - Life in Norway, the power of music and nature, South Africa, and 22 July
    🇳🇴Norwegians Alette & Ink do a podcast named SKRIM - a collection of fascinating Norwegian True Crime stories. My obsession with True Crime and Norway (known as Norge to Norwegians) led me to their podcast when I was craving both these subjects, so I reached out to them and it led to this intriguing episode. In this episode, we ended up covering a host of really exciting topics that ranged from life in Norway, Norwegian culture, Norwegian and South African music, Norse mythology, Norway's role in the heartbreaking decline in the population of Wolves, mental health, the power of nature in the struggle against mental health, and more. We also had an emotional reflection on right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and his involvement in the 2011 Norway terrorist attack in Oslo - known as 22 July or 22/7 in Norge. The tragic event is portrayed in the Netflix movie, 22 July.
    A beautiful conversation that started off with some nerves but ended off being one of the most enjoyable experiences thus far.
    Check out their incredibly thrilling SKRIM podcast on Spotify by clicking https://spoti.fi/39WE8PZ. You can also follow them on Instagram @SkrimPod, @gentlemimi, and @iamink.
    Enjoy!
    From Norway with love.

  • Kagiso Msimango - Unf*cking Yourself, Social Tribalism, Adrenal Fatigue, Aliens, and Media Bias
    🇿🇦Kagiso Msimango is an author, former media Executive, and incredible human being. It's hard to find brilliant people with an equally high EQ - and that's what Kagiso possesses. She has released 3 books and her latest release, "Unf*uck yourself, Unf*ck the World" is a powerful memoir of her struggles with Adrenal Fatigue and how she overcame the challenges she faced with it.  It's one of the most powerful books and it's one that we need to really pay attention to.  Honest. Insightful. Hilarious. Practical. Enlightening. I bought the ebook on Amazon but this is one I need to get a physical copy of. A brilliant piece of work by one of the most brilliant minds I've ever met. Crippled by burnout, in a state of near-collapse, bestselling author and corporate leader, Kagiso Msimango embarks on a powerful journey of unf*cking herself. What she discovers, after getting little relief from mainstream healing methods, (while maxing out her medical aid in the process), is a simple and revolutionary truth: the more we unf*ck ourselves, the more we unf*ck our world. A book filled with unique revelations to save your life. We had a powerful conversation that ranged from alternate life forms, the current state of society, social ideologies, and how our cognitive biases are placing restrictions on us.  Kagiso is a Cheerleader and Liberator of Women. She supports women to overcome the internal challenges which keep them from attaining their goals, through her writing, speaking and coaching - face-to-face, on radio and television. Kagiso is the founder of The Goddess Academy, a personal transformation organization for women who dare to pursue their heart's truest desires. Kagiso is now a Life and Brand Strategist.

  • Josie Field on life in the UK, Record Labels, Yoga, Music, and NASA
    🇬🇧She's one of my favourite musicians of all time and it was such a pleasure to catch up after a few years. Josie now lives in Alvechurch, Worcestershire (UK) and we had a beautiful, insightful conversation about Space, Yoga, minimalistic living, starting a new life, the ups and downs of the music industry, and so much more 🎼 Watch the episode on YouTube. Nominated for 9 South African Music Awards over her last five releases, it’s evident that singer-songwriter Josie Field has no intention of slowing down. Having recently relocated to the United Kingdom, and with her mark on the South African music scene very much made, Josie now expands her audience and brings her music to the world. A combination of Florence and the Machine meets Janis Ian meets Aretha Franklin, Field’s voice is distinct and unusual. Her signature sound is a potent mix of lyricism and fire, heart-felt issues and tender constructions, she has a unique textured blues-infused voice and soulful vocal delivery style. Rooted in folk but having experimented with blues, country, jazz and with strong elements of soul coming through on her latest release, Josie is no ordinary singer-songwriter. She calls her sound ‘Indie Soul’ aptly the title of her brand new solo album which garnered her ninth SAMA nomination for Best Adult Contemporary Album last year. Indie Soul is a modern fusion of acoustic meets digital with a deep 60’s soul flavour that tugs on the heartstrings. “Not many artists have the opportunity to keep writing, recording and releasing albums that they love, as I have done over the last ten years. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to continue my musical journey, Indie Soul is another moment of my life captured in time and I am really proud of the album.” - Josie Field Experience the intimate nature and soulful performance of one of South Africa’s most versatile and experienced singer-songwriters.
