Seated With Lebo and Thato Rampedi

What happens when someone in your family passes away and nobody knows where the will is, or whether one even exists?

On this episode of Seated With Lebo & Thato Rampedi, presented in collaboration with Sanlam, we get into one of the most uncomfortable conversations families often avoid: wills, inheritance, money, and what we leave behind.

Joined by a financial services professional, Lebo and Thato unpack why so many families put off estate planning, the myths surrounding wills, and how keeping important financial information a secret can create confusion and conflict when loved ones are no longer around.

But this conversation goes beyond paperwork.

The brothers get personal about family finances, the pressure of supporting loved ones, the unspoken expectations placed on family members, and the difficult questions we sometimes feel too uncomfortable to ask our parents. Is it wrong to want to understand your family's plans? Does talking about inheritance make you greedy? And are we protecting our families by staying silent, or leaving them with more questions than answers?

In partnership with Sanlam, this episode explores why having a will isn't only about how much you own. It's about the people you love and making things easier for them when it matters most.

Because legacy isn't just about money. It's about love, preparation, and the conversations we choose to have while we still can.

Your challenge: Ask someone in your family, “If something happened to you, would I know what to do?”

Sometimes, one honest question is where the most important conversation begins.

Why is it so difficult for men to ask for help?

In this episode of *Seated With Lebo & Thato*, we get into the mind of men — exploring why men often struggle to express their emotions, ask for help and admit when they're not okay.

From the classic “I'm good,” “it's not that deep” and “I'll figure it out myself” to using the gym, friendships and everyday activities as ways of processing emotions, Lebo and Thato unpack the different ways men deal with stress, grief, insecurity and vulnerability.

The conversation also gets deeply personal as they explore self-worth, childhood experiences, bullying, feeling safe, learning to enjoy your own company, relationships, conflict and what it really means to create a safe space for men to express themselves.

This isn't about telling men how they *should* feel. It's about understanding why so many men have learned to keep their emotions to themselves — and what happens when they finally start opening up.

If you've ever wondered why men behave the way they do, this conversation is for you.
