Paul Hudson is an entrepreneur, father, musician, pilot, and creative leader, and not all in that order. He’s dedicated to embracing the heart of vulnerability in all aspects of his life, and inspired by youth who actively practice the mantra “be the change you wish to see.” 
We chat about staying present, challenging the assumptions we make, building a personal mindfulness toolkit, and things you learn when flying in storms (literally.)

If you’ve got a “can do” attitude, you can do it. These are the wise words of Glen Jordan, Director of IMB – a financial services firm set on empowering people to learn how to work with money. But this podcast is not just about money and tech, it’s about embracing our roots, and the challenges that refine us. It’s about unveiling toxic masculinity, and about being both vulnerable and thick skinned at the same time. It’s about persisting when you have nothing to your name, and learning how to maximize what little you have. Glen knows he is where he is today because of the people he’s surrounded himself with.

The ocean can be both a beautiful, and scary place. But imagine riding a 50-foot wave – roughly the height of a 5-story building… 
Today’s guest is Frank Solomon, a water-man, professional big wave surfer, Emmy award-winning filmmaker and unwitting environmentalist. 
We get frank with Frank about tenacity, conquering fear, being mindful, about sharing his passion for the ocean by teaching kids to surf, and how determination always triumphs. 

Fred Roed has been through the proverbial entrepreneurial ringer. Bankrupt, and with over a million Rand in debt at age 27, we hear the story of how he balanced and reframed “failure” to now head up “Heavy Chef”, a platform that connects people through learning experiences. Heavy Chef’s objective is to inspire people to start things, and then empower them to succeed. This hugely inspiring chat reminds us that as pioneers we need to retain a healthy perspective on failure, and to cherish the journeyman inside us all.

Susan Hill, recent Woman of the Year Winner, is the Director of Ikhaya le Themba, an NPO situated in Imizamo Yethu, Hout Bay, Cape Town. Susan talks about her journey of faith, leaving middle class comfort in America behind, relocating her family to South Africa, and in so doing, literally giving it all up for the greater good of serving others. The heart of her vision is to create necessary places of comfort and safety, and to inspire collaboration with others, essentially to rebuild broken and vulnerable lives.

Today I am joined by Warren Goodman, owner and founder of Wazoogles Superfood. Wazoogles is a 100% plant-based superfood protein blend.

Warren is a passionate surfer, chef, traveller and yogi. His travel experiences have grounded him and inspired him to live the nomadic lifestyle he does today.

Wazoogles was born out of necessity. In his twenties, Warren suffered with a low immune system and was always getting sick. After eventually going to get tested by GPs and ENTs and when western medicine couldn’t give him any real answers, Warren turned to a holistic approach to this issue, and healed himself through conscious eating and living. 

That opened up a new world for him and soon after Wazoogles Superfood was born. 

Warren is determined and headstrong. He made the tough decision to leave a successful family business to begin this new venture and the company has grown from strength to strength. 

Enjoy the conversation.

Michael is a podcast host and keynote speaker. He co-hosts the Think WTF podcast with Brett St. Clair. Together they try to make sense of the rapidly changing digital world.

Listeners to Cliff Radio will recognise Michael from the Futurology show which he began co-hosting in 2011. 

Michael and I do a deep dive into some of the pressing questions around digital technology and tackle questions around reality, consciousness, and what we want as a society.

What started out as a conversation around digital technology turned into something much more profound.

As South Africa’s Fairy Godmother, Donna McCallum educates people on how to relate to, manage and build wealth around the world. 

She helps people break down barriers and build futures filled with hope and abundance.

Her path to becoming the Fairy Godmother started on a bus ride in Argentina 13 years ago but her story is more complex than that and far from linear.
