Ghost Stories is a long-form podcast that gives me the opportunity to have deeper conversations with founders, executives and market participants who have a great story to tell.

Entrepreneurship

Tivon Loubser is all about chasing the sun - and generating investment returns from solar projects. Thanks to South Africa's ongoing need for renewable energy projects of every size, there are tax benefits available to investors for doing this. We unpack the opportunity in this podcast.
The podcast is brought to you by Twelve B Fund Managers, a private equity fund entitling tax payers to invest in a portfolio of renewable energy generating assets and benefit from the recently gazetted 125% 12BA wear and tear allowance. After successfully closing Fund I, and deploying all the raised capital in the previous financial year, Twelve B Fund II is open for investment. The fund will close at the earlier of R100m or 30 June 2024.
Please do your own research, discuss this with your independent financial advisor, and if you would like to set up a meeting with the Twelve B team, or would like more information, visit the Twelve B or Grovest websites.
Twelve B Fund Managers (Pty) Ltd is an approved juristic representative of Volantis Capital Proprietary Limited, an Authorised Financial Services Provider FSP No 49836.

The world is increasingly focusing on private market opportunities and the benefits that they bring to a portfolio strategy. Whether equity or credit in nature, there are reasons to seriously consider the inclusion of private assets in a wealth strategy.
In this podcast, Reginald Labuschagne (Head of Product and Strategy at Sanlam Private Wealth) and Harris Gorre (Partner at Grovepoint Investment Management) bring considerable experience to a discussion on private investment strategies and where they can be used in client portfolios.
You can connect with Reginald on LinkedIn here. More information on Sanlam Private Wealth can be found here.
More information on Grovepoint Investment Management (including the GIM Liquid Private Credit shares listed on the JSE: GIMPLC) can be found on the group website here.
Sanlam Private Wealth (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2000/023234/07, is a licensed Financial Services Provider (FSP 37473), a registered Credit Provider (NCRCP1867) and a member of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ('SPW').
Nothing in this podcast should be taken as advice. You must always do your own research on opportunities and speak to your financial advisor.

Ghost Stories Ep37: Investing in Private Credit (Reginald Labuschagne, Sanlam Private Wealth | Harris Gorre, Grovepoint Investment Management))

When planning your wealth creation journey, it helps to understand all the tools available in the toolbox. Bond ETFs remain poorly understood by many investors, leading to portfolio strategies that don’t include fixed income investments.
In this podcast with Siyabulela Nomoyi of Satrix*, we put the spotlight on bond ETFs. We covered topics like the relationship between interest rates and capital values, the way in which these ETFs add value to a portfolio and the macroeconomic conditions that can lead to good outcomes here.
There’s so much to listen to in this podcast, underpinned by Satrix’s commitment to South African investor education. To find out more about SatrixNOW, visit this link>>> *Satrix is a division of Sanlam Investment Management
(this article was first published here)

Ghost Stories Ep36: Using bond ETFs in a portfolio (with Siyabulela Nomoyi of Satrix)

The Global Accelerator offers 100% capital protection in dollars at maturity after five years, while giving exposure to global equity indices.
To explain how it all works, Japie Lubbe of Investec Structured Products joined me on this podcast and covered the following topics:

The design of the underlying equity basket
The use of “insurance” in an equity portfolio and how this can be understood in the context of more familiar concepts like car and home insurance
The upside of the Global Accelerator, both on an accelerated basis and a capped basis
The payoff of this product vs. buying an ETF that tracks a similar equity index, with specific reference to how dividends work
Building blocks of the Global Accelerator in terms of company structure and the various instruments used
Fees involved and how they compare to unit trusts
The liquidity available over the five-year period
How a debt instrument is used to provide capital protection and understanding the credit risk associated with this debt instrument.

Applications close 21 May 2024.
As always you must do your own research and speak to your financial advisor before investing in a product like this. You can find all the information you need on the Investec website at this link.

Ghost Stories Ep35: The Global Accelerator (with Japie Lubbe, Structured Products at Investec)

There’s a lot more to blockchain technology than just the latest Bitcoin or Ether price. After the boom of NFTs and all kinds of other things during the pandemic, things clearly cooled off in this space - and for the better. In the meantime, corporates and entrepreneurs are busy in the background on tokenisation of assets to create digital assets.
In a digital economy, digital assets are important. The Fintech space is more widely understood. But again, it goes beyond just a payments solution on your wrist or your phone. As the world becomes increasingly cashless, there’s a lot of innovation in the financial space. To unpack these areas in more detail and to understand how use cases are developing, I was joined by Wiehann Olivier (Partner and Head of Fintech & Digital Assets at Mazars) and Mia Pieterse (Partner and Fintech Specialist at Mazars).
You can connect with Wiehann on LinkedIn at this link and Mia on LinkedIn at this link.
About Mazars
Mazars is an internationally integrated partnership, specialising in audit, accountancy, advisory and tax services. Operating in over 100 countries and territories around the world, they draw on the expertise of more than 50,000 professionals - 33,000 in Mazars' integrated partnership and 17,000 via the Mazars North America Alliance - to assist clients of all sizes at every stage in their development.

There is nothing wrong with the students ear; the problem is the way third tone has been taught for decades, as if it had a rising tail. 

Except for an exceptional isolated circumstance, the third tone does not go down and then up again, and it should not be called the “dipping tone.” It should be called the “low tone,” because it is spoken in the lowest part of your vocal range. It is most often short and flat. 

Tones should not be taught in isolation, but always in combination with other tones. See our episode about the twenty combinations.

Distinguishing 2nd and 3rd Tones

Simply use the higher part of your vocal range to instantly improve your tones. We do this in English when we are being expressive. It only take a little discipline until you get into the habit.

Podcast intro transcript
This is the Content and AI podcast, episode number 25. One of main reasons that people have taken so quickly to AI tools like ChatGPT is their conversational nature. People like talking to each other - and to computers. In human conversation, we've developed skills and instincts that help us determine the trustworthiness of the person we're talking with. In tech-driven conversations, we often have reason to mistrust. Wouter Sligter helps companies build conversational systems that express the authentic humanity of their creators.

Today I'm talking with Lasse Rindom, a thoughtful and knowledgeable consultant who works with enterprises on big AI projects. He's also a podcaster who talks with business leaders around the world about AI and tech. In his conversations and consulting work, he has discovered a world of lying robots, chaotic code, and strategic deficits.
Interview transcript
Larry:
Hi, everyone. Welcome to episode number 24 of the content and AI podcast. I'm really delighted today to welcome to the show, Lasse Rindom. I'll have him pronounce his name correctly in just a minute.

But welcome to the show, Lasse, to tell the folks a little bit more about what you're doing there at Basico.

Lasse:
Hi, Larry, and thank you for having me on the show today. I'm really thrilled to be here. So my name is Lasse, Lasse Rindom. That's how you say it in Danish so people could know that. I always say it's okay to say Lasse. Everyone knows that, that's dog.

Lasse:
I am the a AI leader at Basico, which means I'm defining our go-to-market strategy and our products in the AI space, and we focus very much on the back office function. So that's your legal, facility management,

The Agile Attorney podcast teaches legal professionals how to streamline their legal workflows using the principles, practices, and tools of the Kanban Method. 

Join Accredited Kanban Trainer and award-winning legal operations professional John E. Grant as he shares the keys to implementing effecti...

Have you ever put a ton of time and attention into a piece of legal work only to realize that it's not quite hitting the mark for your client? Or maybe you've delivered a technically flawless document, but your client’s just sort of “meh” about the whole thing, like they just don't seem to be satisfied?  Tune in this week to discover how the Fit for Purpose framework helps you deliver what your clients need, when they need it. You'll learn the three core components of evaluating whether your legal offerings are Fit for Purpose, how to come up with user models around common Fit-for-Purpose criteria, and how to design Fit for Purpose products and services that are 'just right' for your firm's context and resources.

019. Fit for Purpose: Designing Legal Services To Meet Client Needs

Most lawyers think of their intake form as something that they need to send to the client so they can get the information they need to actually do the legal work their client requires. But what if we shifted the perspective and instead asked the question, "What is the job that my client is hiring my intake form to do?" Tune in this week to gain a deep understanding in "Jobs To Be Done" Theory and unlock hidden client needs in the process. You'll learn how to better understand the job that your client is hiring your product to accomplish, as well as get clarity around the scope of competition for your products and services, so you can innovate the products and services you offer in your law practice to better meet your clients' needs.

018. Understanding "Jobs To Be Done" to Unlock Hidden Client Needs

As you work to meet the high standards you set for yourself, it can become impossible to get tasks all the way through to done. However, in today's episode, I'm bringing you a framework that will help counterbalance your natural tendency to overbuild in the early stages of developing a process or product, so you can ultimately land on a higher-quality output than if you'd tried to build the perfect product from the outset: the minimum viable product or MVP. Tune in this week for some insight into the minimum viable product and the valuable role that minimum viable products can play in delivering quality in your law practice, especially when you're setting out to create something new and you aren't yet 100% sure what 'good quality' is going to look like.

017. How Minimum Viable Products Can Improve Efficiency AND Quality

You've heard me talk about the individual practices and concepts from the Kanban method, but today's episode is an exciting opportunity for you to learn from one of my teachers in this world of Agile, Kanban, and Lean: Tim Lennon.  Tim shares his experiences using and teaching the core practices of the Kanban method (like making work visible, limiting work in progress, managing flow) and how those practices work together to create balanced systems that are primed to create better customer outcomes while also bringing internal balance in your delivery teams.

016. Aligning Your Firm's People and Systems with Tim Lennon

Handing off work, especially multiple back-and-forth handoffs, can be a huge source of delay and rework in your law practice.  Tune in this week to discover how to be more effective when handing off work in your legal practice, minimizing the negative effects of ineffective handoffs. Rework is a harmful form of waste in your practice, so you’ll learn about the three different kinds of handoffs that occur in a law practice, and I give you practical tips for mastering effective handoffs.
