Marco gesels met Edwin van der Walt, een van Suid-Afrika se mees geliefde akteurs, oor dinge waaroor mans nie maklik praat nie… Innerlike stryd, druk, twyfel en geestelike laagtepunte.

Edwin deel openlik van ’n tyd waar hy emosioneel gebreek het: “Ek weet vir ’n feit ek glo nie elke belofte van God wat Hy vir my maak nie… Ek wil, glo my ek wil.”

Hulle praat oor geloof, geestesgesondheid en die oomblikke waar jy net moet erken: ek kan nie meer nie.

Jan Bloukaas (Jean du Plessis) maak oop oor die realiteit van sy musiekloopbaan en stryd teen kanker.

Hulle gaan terug na die begin en Jean vertel van sy oornagsukses in 2017 met die virale treffer 'Kaas Elke Dag'. Dit was eintlik nooit deel van sy plan om 'n sanger te word nie.

Toe, op 22 kry hy die hartverskeurende nuus dat hy 'n groot gewas het op sy breinstam wat nie chirurgies verwyder kan word nie. Dit het sy hele wêreld omgekeer; hy moes beide vrede vind met die kankerdiagnose en sy oë weer vestig op dit wat werklik belangrik is. Tog het hy nooit ingegee tot vrees nie!

Jean staan sterk, baklei hard en hou sy oë gevestig op God. Watch on YouTube! · Follow Us on Instagram!

Marco sits down with fellow entrepreneur, Christiaan van den Berg, to talk about the tumultuous, yet deeply rewarding journey of building a business with purpose.

While completing his articles to become a board-certified CA, Christiaan realised that climbing that particular corporate ladder might not be right for him. After organising a few waitering jobs for friends and family, Christiaan and his long-time friend Heine Bellingan realised the need for a singular platform for entry-level job seekers to find available positions. In 2018 they launched JOBJACK.

In building JOBJACK, Christiaan has learned a lot about the importance of practising boundaries and leading from a place of wholeness. Today the JOBJACK team has expanded to over 40 employees.

In this episode, Marco sits down with Garrow Coetzee. He shares his harrowing story about how he had to overcome the hardships of crime, drug addiction and being homeless to become the man he is today.

Already in his adolescence, Garrow started going off the track abusing drugs and alcohol. He eventually ended up living on the streets for many years. It's only after he burned every bridge numerous times and all hope was lost, that he was willing to accept the love and intervention from a kind stranger.

When he was finally willing to confront his addictions, Garrow had to first face up to the bad things he has done and deal with his past mistakes. He found redemption.

With a lot of support, encouragement and a deepened faith, he manage to completely rebuild his life. Today Garrow is happily married with two young kids - living a life of hope his former self would not be able to recognise.
