In this episode, we sat down with Verity Price - a professional MC, facilitator, keynote speaker and one of the first online crowdfunders.

In 2005, her dream of becoming a professional singer and songwriter was looking like that's all it would be - a dream - until she mobalised a troupe of music lovers from 25 countries to buy her empty CD cover so that she could create the music to fill it. The journey made Verity famous for thinking differently and now, she spends her time teaching people to do the same. As of 2021, she is also the Toastmasters Southern Africa Champion of Public Speaking.

In this episode, we sat down with Juanene Frydman to talk about her journey out of the corporate jail she found herself in, the importance of the people you surround yourself with and the balancing act of entrepreneurship: remaining kind to yourself while still doing the hard work that’s required to succeed. 

Juanene is a coach - a self-proclaimed agitator and stirrer-upper of staid, outdated inner stories and behaviours. Her coaching methodology incorporates the wisdom of the enneagram, archetypal patterns and the study of ontology (which in simple terms is the impact of our language, behaviours and emotions on ourselves).

10 months after launching the I Work For Me podcast, Pam Viljoen was delighted to turn the tables and interview none other than Melina Lewis - author, marketer, mother and the previous host of the pod.

In this episode, we bring you a bitter-sweet announcement (spoiler: Melina is passing on the podcast baton); why she started it in May 2020; what she'll be up to next and what advice she has to offer after hearing from 45+ other entrepreneurs.

As Melina likes to say, grab a cuppa and put on your earphones.
