Vraag 1: Hoe maak jy besluite wanneer dit by jou career kom?

Ek het besluit om iets anders te doen op episode 14.

Shake the system a bit.

Ek het twee legends, Beer Adriaanse en Bennie Fourie, gevra om elkeen 3 onderwerpe neer te skryf waaroor hulle graag sal wil gesels of wat hulle persoonlik baie challenge.

Ons het die verskillende opnderwerpe in 'n "kussing sloop" gegooi. Een vir een getrek. Vir elke onderwerp het ons 10 minute gehad om dit te bespreek.

Niemand het mekaar se onderwerpe vooraf gesien nie en ons het dit ge-freestyle in 10 minute elk.

Hierdie was next-level excitement en wysheid bomme wat hierdie legends op my kom drop het!

Hierdie antwoorde en opinies mag challenging wees so wees geduldig en praat saam!

Leandie Du Randt-Bosch: The power of your thoughts, words, women and our loved ones.

Leandie is an actress, presenter, motivational speaker and author (her book is called "Gemaklik in jou eie lyf").

The conversation with Leandie during this episode was so powerful, my camera man said he felt more inspired during these 60min with Leandie than he has been in years.

This episode is full of wisdom and vulnerability.

Some of the things we talk about:

- The amazing story of a friendship that changed everything.

- Women and their body image.

- How to deal with extreme pressure, self doubt and being called fake.

- The power of living a lifestyle of gratitude.

- Advice on how to lead a successful and meaningful life.

Quotes from this epiosde:

"It's easy to do what you want as soon as you know what it is. The difficult part is, what do I want to do?"

"No one you ever meet is for no reason."

"Surround yourself with people that know you and love you, so that they can give you guidance."

"If you want to act in this country, see it as a hobby, not as a stream of income. You will become desperate and start to do work you don't want to do."

"Everything in life happens twice. First in your mind, second in reality. YOU create it through Him.

"The more you can be grateful for what you have, the more you will receive to be grateful for."

I just knew I had to sit down with this powerful and brave woman. I am sure she will inspire, motivate and make you laugh.

Buckle up - tell an inspiring story with your life.

Spiritual Challenges - Do you face them and how do you make sense of these challenges?

Francois Louw inspires so many with his knowledge and wisdom. He talks about the things most people don't want to talk about - raw, honest and inspirational.

His musical talent speaks for itself and his songs is filled with fruitful messages. He definitely does not try to be like any other musician but rather walks in faith to deliver those epic lyrics.

If I could I would quote this whole episode, but I doubt it would have the same effect as to listening to it in the moment.
