Dan Cornick and I met up in Hogsback and had a conversation about the astoundingly beautiful (but tough) Amatola Hiking Trail, his backpackers (aptly named Away With The Fairies), his Amatola Trails business (which services the hike), the beauty of the mountains, an interesting fairy experience he had at the backpackers, and finally, meditation and mindfulness.

In this episode (originally recorded in January 2018 and re-released mid October 2019), Rudi Engelbrecht and I have a conversation about his well-established meditation practice (Vipassana style), as well as his 4500+ km walk around South Africa that ended when he and his walking friends handed a signed South African flag to Nelson Mandela. We also touch upon several different themes and topics during the conversation.  WWW.PERSPECTIVEPROJECT.CO.ZA

My friends and colleagues, Prof. Andrea Hurst and Dr. Belinda du Plooy, sat down with me to discuss the unique and ground-breaking university engagement event that we call a water pilgrimage. An eye-opening discussion in that it shows how dynamic things can be in the university context – we end up referring to the ‘the Sacred’, and contextualise it a manner that might seem unusual but also appropriate considering the need across contexts to re-connect with each other and our environment.

Business consultant and blockchain evangelist Sean Martin shares his extensive knowledge of blockchain with me. Very informative for newbies to the topic of blockchain (like me), as well as to technology enthusiasts and business-minded people. Considering that blockchain will eventually be integrated into so many aspects of our technologically-mediated lives, this episode is a must-listen.

From Green Renaissance: "We are a passionate collective of four creatives, on a journey to share positive stories. We make films that excite us – ... passion projects.

Other times it’s meeting interesting people who are inspired by nature. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. With your help, we will be sharing at least one new film each w

Anton joined me on the podcast to chat about some ideas he has after his time working for the United Nations. We start with his thoughts in this regard, and branch quite far out from there.
