TimePrints Podcast

What are the few decisions that change the course of your life?Discovery founder and Group Chief Executive Adrian Gore joins Aki Anastasiou on TimePrints for a personal conversation about ambition, family, optimism and making the most of the time we have.From the idea in a bath that helped shape Vitality to a running goal he failed to achieve but says changed him forever, Adrian shares the experiences behind his approach to life and leadership.Drawing on his book, The Four Principles: Multiply Your Impact in Life and Leadership, he explains disciplined optimism, focused urgency, declared goals and the Pareto Tail — and why a handful of decisions can have an extraordinary impact.He also discusses South Africa’s potential, becoming a father again in his 50s, and why he still feels he is just getting started.

Every life leaves a print.For nearly three decades, Katy Katopodis has been at the centre of some of the biggest stories shaping South Africa and the world.But this conversation is not about the headlines.In this episode of TimePrints, Katy opens up about becoming News Editor at just 26—only days before the 9/11 attacks—and the leadership lesson that moment taught her.She reflects on the enormous responsibility of sending journalists into dangerous situations, facing political pressure, balancing motherhood with breaking news, the loneliness of leadership, faith, family, mistakes, sacrifice and the personal price of a career spent telling other people's stories.Katy also speaks candidly about one of the most painful professional experiences of her life, the stories that changed her forever, why journalism has made her more cynical, and why she believes journalists report "a truth" rather than necessarily "the truth."
