Ep. #020 - De Sittner. 

You're not gonna want to miss my interview with this week’s legend De Sittner… De and I met in San Francisco while attending art school and I was instantly drawn towards his energy. De is originally from Chicago Illinois but moved to San Francisco to attend the Academy of Arts University, pursuing his dreams of becoming a professional actor. While in school De led the initiative to open a chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity and succeeded in that goal by becoming one of the founding fathers of the Pi Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Sigma.Not only was it the first fraternity to be established within the city limits of San Francisco but it was also the first fraternity at an Art school in the US.

During those formative years, De's talent was undeniable. He possessed a natural charisma that drew everyone to him, and his performances in school productions were consistently captivating. Beyond his acting prowess, he was a truly brilliant individual, full of innovative ideas and a relentless drive to achieve his goals. Our friendship deepened during that wild period of college life. We were inseparable, navigating the ups and downs of art school and the vibrant San Francisco scene together. From late-night study sessions fueled by endless coffee to spontaneous road trips and unforgettable parties, we shared countless adventures. College was a whirlwind of creativity, learning, and self-discovery, and De was always right there beside me, a true partner in crime. His infectious energy and unwavering loyalty made those years truly unforgettable.

Ep. #013 - Eben Pieterse. Eben is from South Africa and hands down one of the most outgoing and interesting people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting in my entire life. I think I can safely say that. Eben talks about his childhood living as a farmer or “Boer” and the various struggles that came with it, including, but not limited to, not having electricity until he was 14 years old. Like, can you even imagine? We also touch on topics such as the ethics and effectiveness of corporal punishment, the racism and discrimination he’s faced as a white African, and how we both agree that comfort is the killer of progress. This is an episode you definitely don’t want to miss.
