Nothing is stopping us from talking, except our fears and insecurities.
There's no need to die inside with the words stuck in your heart.
Once you can learn how to express yourself calmly and clearly, life begins so much easier.

Hope is a wonderful thing to hold onto.
It is a terrible thing to live in a state of hopelessness.

What you believe becomes your pattern.
Your pattern is born from your beliefs and how much you think you're worth.
There are certain things in life that are not easy.

What does it mean to be a child of God? What does it mean to serve God?
Too often we think that being holy is to serve God. But what does it even mean to be holy, and who do we see as holy?
To be a true child of God is to surrender to happiness, peace and joy, to live your life in celebration of every blessing you see around you.
It is to enjoy life as you connect to the true source of life within you.
To be a child of God is to live with every breath you take and to marvel at the miracle that is you.
Taking responsibility for your life is more than just paying your bills and being responsible.
It's about understanding the consequences of your actions and holding yourself accountable.
It's about understanding the impact your words have on others and acknowledging the pain you might've caused.
Taking responsibility is to understand that your every thought, your words and your actions will determine your life.
It is know that you are not a victim but a powerful being with immense power to change your life at any given moment.
Ultimately it is to stop blaming anyone for your emotions and your decisions.
To follow your heart is not an impulsive drunken decision that you'll regret afterwards.
To follow your heart is to be deeply and intimately connected to your soul.
You must be able to hear the whispers of truth and to feel the flow and ebb of the very force that sustains life.
To follow your heart means that you have certainty and direction, clear guidance as you recognise the pulsating life giving force that has been inside of you before the beginning of time.
It's a powerful and life-changing experience when you truly begin to follow your heart.
And when you do that, you will follow truth, peace, happiness, joy and fulfillment.

Meaning can be found in the most unexpected places. And once you discover what brings you joy, peace and happiness, you have discovered the true meaning of life.
Resentment is the unspoken criticism and judgement that are born from unprocessed guilt and shame.
Resentment will lead to bitterness, anger and frustration that will explode at the most unexpected moments.

Resentment will keep you in victimhood and blame will always be your game as long as you don't acknowledge it.
What makes you happy?
We look for happiness but often do we stop to ask what truly makes us happy?
Happiness is not some elusive emotion, only for the selected few. We all have the capacity for happiness.
Happiness is simple and rewarding. But to be happy, you need to know what makes you happy.
It's easy to look at life through the eyes of someone else and believe their perceptions to be true.
But what is real and true for you?
What do you choose to believe and who do you choose to follow?
Do you follow fear and hatred, or you choose to follow peace and sanity?
The choice is always yours but what is the cost of your choice?
Clarity is one of the most powerful things to experience.
Once you know what you want, the way becomes clear and simple.
Having clarity boosts your confidence and energises you.
Once you know what to do you will also how to do it.
Once you are clear on one thing, you will become clear on many things.
You will make decisions with confidence and you will follow it up with action.
Clarity brings intent, confidence and simplicity.
Success is what matters to most of us.
But what does success mean to you? How do you define true success?
Success is deeply personal and only you can decide what it means to you.
Only you can set your standards and your goals to achieve the success you have in mind.
It's only once you have decided what really matters that you will be able to go after it.
Are you one of those people who always knows the latest gossip and can't wait to share the messy details of someone else's life?
Are you living for the latest juicy bit about scandals and secrets of other people?
Do you crave the drama, and satisfaction of being the one who knows the dirty little secrets of everyone else?
Or do you just like to talk behind people's backs and make up stories as you go along?
Then maybe it's time for you to stop meddling and start minding your business.
Minding your business is the key to peace and sanity.
No person is without weaknesses but those who succeed in life are the ones who acknowledge their weaknesses and do everything in their power to fight their demons.
Have a child, they say.
The clock is ticking, they say.
Nothing and no one can prepare your for parenthood.
You can read all the books in the world, watch all the videos and speak to a million people, and still you won't be prepared for being a parent.
You won't be prepared for the love, the strong sense of protection, the toll it takes on your body and your relationship.
And you nothing can prepare you for unexpected miracle of being called mom or dad.
There is absolutely nothing romantic about marriage.
In the end it's about waking up with bad breath, farting in bed together, navigating life, money, career, finances and family.
But what makes it worthwhile and beautiful, is that you have someone by your side who has seen on your worst days, and still thinks you're the most beautiful person in the world.
It's about creating a safe space where both of you can flourish and be vulnerable.
And it's about being with that one person who makes your heart smile because they just get you. No words needed, no explanation required.

This is the day that things can change for the better.
This is the day that can be the beginning of your dreams.
This is your day to take the first step to start living.
Stop believing that you're cursed.
Start believing in the good things life has to offer.
Start the process with one thought at a time.
Do you hide your pain behind your bad attitude?
Often it's easier to show anger than vulnerability but what is the cost to you?

Live in this moment. Enjoy it.
Sometimes all you have to do is focus on this moment, and stand still in it.
What scares you?
What are you afraid of, and is fear holding you back from living your life?
If your life sucks right now, you know that something needs to change.
But only you can decide what change is needed and if you're willing to do it.
It's not easy to take the first step, but it might be exactly the change that you needed.
Do you serve faith or fear?

What do you do when life becomes hard?
Do you give up or do you fight back?
Who do you trust when you lose your way?

Only you can decide what you're willing to do to live your dream, and if the price will be worth it.
This moment is all you have, and one decision taken in this moment, can change your life.
Our first instinct is to give up when life gets tough but there's too much strength to give up without a fight.
Sometimes you have to dig deep to find the strength to go on, when you reach that point of no return where you have to stand and fight.
You have to fight for your sanity, your dreams, your way. You have to fight because giving up is simply not an option.
You will be scarred, battered and bruised but you will still be standing.
That is life.
When you taste the bitter taste of disappointment and disillusion something deep inside of you will be awakened because you haven't come this far just to give up.
Remember who you truly are, a warrior, a fighter but also someone deeply in need of love and compassion.

In every person's life, there is that one shattering event that changes your life completely. Your life is just never the same afterward.
You deal with it by burying it so deep that you can never find it because you fear that facing it will destroy you.
You carry this knowledge and the memory deep inside of you and it weighs you down and holds you prisoner.
But you were not meant to carry the load alone.
For you to be truly alive, to discover who you are and to discover your purpose and meaning in life you need to face the darkness.
The past is the doorway to your today and every moment you deny your pain, you give your demons of the past more power over your today and the tomorrows to come.
Every day is a battle for your soul, good against evil, every day you have to fight to stay in the light. You no longer have to be alone in this fight or stay in the darkness.
Your soul is precious. Your heart needs to live. Take this moment to begin the road to healing.
Having a big mouth often means you are all wind and have no substance. Some people find it very hard to keep their mouths shut even when they have nothing to say.
It's an art and a very useful skill to keep quiet when you have nothing to say.
Many useless arguments could've been prevented if we can learn to talk less and listen more.
Your voice is your power and when you use your voice to speak your truth you will be known as the peacemaker and the brave one.
When you come from a place of love and truth you will find the courage to use your voice for what is right.
Your gifts are your power. It was given to you to heal, to prosper, and to share with the world.
There is only one truth that is the gift of life and that gift is love. Once you understand what love is, you will understand your gift.
It's only once you understand how truly precious you are and that your gifts are your soul's way of giving thanks that you're living in this lifetime.
Your gifts are needed. It is your heart finding expression at this time to show the light that is hidden in the depths of your soul.

You were born with all the knowledge and the wisdom to be great. And your greatness lies in your ability to share your gift.
What is the big picture that you have for your life? What is your vision for your life? Do you still remember?
Every day you need to focus on the little things to build the ultimate big picture of your life. It's those thousand little steps you take every single day that will lead you to where you need to go.
Life consists of many tiny steps that lead up to one moment. Live in the moment.
It takes to courage to find what is true for you.
All your life you think you were a failure all because you never took the time to find out what is true to you.
Once you discover your own truth your heart will begin to sing the song that was written for you.
It takes courage to look for the truth inside of you and even more courage to accept the truth about who you are. As long as you don't seek your truth you'll always be hiding in the shadows living someone else's life.
When you discover your truth it might be the beginning of a very lonely road as your journey might be different from what is expected of you.
Living according to the expectations of someone else is denying yourself the chance to be truly happy.
You will need great courage to find your way. Don't expect it to be easy. But expect to be rewarded.
Do you know your true worth? Do you understand the power you have and how much power you have?
You are more than your position, your status, your possessions, and your education.
You are precious, able, and competent to achieve anything you set your mind on.
You have the power, the knowledge, and the wisdom to become wealthy beyond your wildest dreams.
You are worthy and highly favoured and blessed with the most amazing powers to become wildly successful.
Do you believe that you are worthy of all the good things in life? Do you think that you deserve the very best life has to offer?

Money is wonderful to have. It's amazing to be financially free. Money gives you freedom of choice that you otherwise wouldn't have.
You must be unapologetic about wanting money and do what you can to become rich.
But your identity must not be dependent on how much money you have.
Money is part of God's blessings and you must embrace this knowledge.
Enjoy making money, enjoy having it and enjoy spending it.
True wealth begins when you begin to see God as your source for wealth and success.
You were born to be rich, happy, and successful. That is your right. Be unapologetic about it. And believe it with your whole heart.
Pain will visit all of us but as long as you don't acknowledge your pain it will always have power over you.
You will become bitter, angry, and blind to any blessing that might come your way.
Your pain won't go away, and it may destroy you and those around you if you don't face the pain buried in your heart.
Healing only comes when you become honest about your pain and fear. There is no shortcut or quick fixes. The road back to happiness might be the most difficult thing you'll ever do but it will be worth it.
Don't let fear control you. Don't close your heart off to happiness. Overcoming your pain requires much courage. Find the courage to live. Find it in your heart to start living again.
What are the excuses that hold you back from going after your dreams?
Do you see the possibilities of what life has to offer? Are you open to the opportunities that are available to you?
Once you stop making excuses and start asking yourself what can be done, life will present opportunities to you.
Success doesn't come easy but it's possible but you need to take the first step. And you have to keep on going even when it seems all the odds are stacked against you.
Fortune smiles on the brave and the persistent. Become one of those who dare to dream and have the courage to go after their dreams.
What do you say to your children?
It's easy to underestimate or ignore the wisdom of your children.
They know much more and see more than what we realise.
What are the conversations you have with your child to prepare them for life? Do you value your child enough to respect the vision they have for their own lives?
Teach your child the right lessons that will guide and build them to make decisions that are right for them.
Teach your child to dream big, to follow their hearts, and to have the courage to stay true to themselves.
Do you feel lost?
There are moments in life when you feel lost, forgotten, and abandoned.
It's easy to forget how wonderful you are when you feel lost. When negative thoughts come visit you it can be difficult to remember the good things about your life.
But there also comes a moment when you wake up and once again become aware of how blessed you are.
You are loved. You are precious. You are amazing. Remember that when you feel lost again.
You already have everything you need. All you need is to believe it. Does this irritate you when you hear it?
Within you, there's so much wealth, so much wisdom, all the knowledge you need to be successful in life.
You are wiser than you'll ever realise. You are more amazing than you could ever imagine. You have seeds of greatness within you. You carry within you an incredible power to command anything you want. Understanding this is the first step to having the desires of your heart.
Trust God. Believe in His promises. And listen to His voice as He whispers to you. Pay attention and you will be amazed by all the beautiful discoveries about life.
It is possible to have all that you need and want in life. Trust. Believe. And do what needs to be done to get to the life you deeply desire.
Do you remember your dreams? Do you remember what it felt like to believe that you could be anything you want to be?
What are the dreams that are buried deep in your soul, and need to be awakened?
Facing life can make you forget your dreams as you're fighting for survival. But the time has come to remember your dream, to rekindle that fire that has been burning in your soul. Remember the power that lies dormant within you and that's waiting to be awakened.
Your dreams are waiting on you to remember them. So you can begin to truly live and feel the joy of being alive.
Your dreams were given to you for a reason. You have all the gifts, talents, and power to make your dreams come true. Start remembering that you were born to honour your dreams. Now have the courage to follow your heart and live your dreams.
Teachers play a very influential role in our lives. Some were amazing and left a beautiful mark, while others scarred us in more ways than we can imagine.
Those teachers who blessed us with their love and their support and guided us to become better people must be celebrated and commended.
But there are too many teachers who labeled us and their words haunt us up until today. Sadly too many parents buy into the negative perceptions that teachers have of their children.
But you were never that label. You are amazing, powerful, and simply incredible. You have always have been. Now believe it.
Shake off the bondage of the labels and walk in your power.
As long as you don't share your gifts and talents with the world, you are denying who you truly are.
Stop hiding your wonderful gifts and step into the beauty and the power that is you.
Stop hiding and light up the world with your own unique magic.
Share your voice and your heart and set the world on fire with the power that only you can release.
Let us see what is hidden in your soul and let your voice be heard.

You survived 2020 and now 2021. You made it this far. There were moments that you didn't know how you'd manage, where you didn't see your way out, where giving up seemed like the only option. Yet, here you are. Because you didn't give up, you managed, you survived; you kept on fighting without knowing where your strength came from. Somehow in the midst of unbearable pain and your broken heart, you kept on going. When you felt lost, deserted and forgotten you managed to find your way back.

Pay tribute to what was, while keeping your eye on the future and your heart and your feet in firmly in this moment. Goodbye 2021. Here's to 2022. It has to be better. It has to be amazing.
What are your business goals? And why you should you care?
One of the first things you're taught is to have goals for you to succeed. Having goals is what drives you to succeed. But the question, where do you start and why should you have goals?
Key number one is to listen to your heart. Be honest about what you really want to achieve and keep it simple. Having a goal should not be complicated and drain you when you think of it. It should fill you with so much excitement, enthusiasm and energy that you can't stop thinking or talking about it. Your business goals and your personal goals should be in line with each other. It will help to keep you focused and interested in achieving your goals.
When your personal goal is to make more money, your business goals will be to get more clients and make more sales. Once you understand the correlation between your business and personal goals, and can see how connected they are, you will become more determined and focused.
Setting goals are very personal and intimate. It's all about your vision, your dream and your desires. You don't have to compete or compare when you decide on what you want to achieve. You must just know what's important to you.
Do you want more money? Do you want to be rich or just comfortable? Why do you want more money? What would it meant to you?
Those are some of the questions you must ask yourself when you set a business goal. If your only goal is to make money, you will not succeed. You need more than the desire for money and riches to become successful in life. You need purpose, a reason why you'll keep on doing what you're doing every single day. It will take a lot out of you, and you'll have to make many sacrifices, face many obstacles and disappoints: all of this while you won't see a cent coming into the business. The only thing that will keep you going through those difficult and painful times is when you remember the goal that is written in your heart.
Your goals must be tied to the dreams in your heart. If you're slogging it just to impress someone or to prove yourself, you're going to end up disillusioned and disheartened, you'll get lost in the race to nowhere. And you won't enjoy success when it comes. If your goals are about what you think you should do you'll feel empty and disappointed when you do achieve them.
You have to be honest about what you really want. You need to think carefully and truthfully about your true desires. What speaks to your heart? What makes you come alive inside? What is it that you can do in the middle of night without being asked? What gives you a sense of accomplishment when it has been done?
You will find that your actual goal has nothing to do with money, but everything to do with how you feel.
When you have a goal that is heart-orientated, you become more driven and more focused. You are more determined than you ever thought was possible. You discover the fire inside of you that you thought died a long time ago. You will become alive in a way that will surprise you. Most importantly, you will value your time, because you will understand the importance of every minute.
What are the important things you want to achieve? What is the one simple thing you can start doing right now that will be the first step in achieving your goals?
It can be quite overwhelming when nothing in your life is working and you have to decide what you want. Don't force it. Just think about what you want and how you want your life to be. And start small. Do you have to wake up a little bit earlier to do what needs to be done? Do you have tp switch off your phone for a few hours to avoid distractions? Do you have to watch less tv? Do you have to make one phone call? Or read a blog, watch an inspirational Youtube video or reach to at least one person? Then do it. And surprise yourself.
What happens to your body if you don't get enough sleep?
Sleep is a wonderful cure for many things, including stress, depression and fatigue. When you don't get enough sleep, it negatively affects your health, your mental well-being and your state of mind; and you won't be able to make even the most simple decisions. You will feel overwhelmed, short tempered and just irritable. It almost seems impossible that a lack of sleep can have such an adverse affect on your body. If you are feeling overwhelmed and heavy, ask yourself when was the last time you had a good night sleep, when when was the last time you had a peaceful sleep?
Why is sleep so important?
Sleep is free of charge, but the rewards are priceless. You wake up refreshed and renewed after a night of proper sleep; you are really ready to face the day. As a business owner you must get enough sleep. It will keep you focused and alert during the day to make important decisions that will have an impact on your business. Your health is important but before you go and buy expensive products to boost your energy and your immune system, get enough sleep. Your business needs you to pay attention to it but if you suffer from lack of sleep, there is no way you can give or do your best. Sleep helps to repair important organs of your body. If you don't get enough sleep it might lead to high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke, and even heart disease.
How can you get more sleep?
Try getting into the habit of going to bed at a specific time every night. Try it and keep on doing it until your body becomes used to being in bed at a certain time. It will take practice and it might be difficult at times but just keep on doing it until it starts feeling natural. Your body will reward you for giving it the gift of sleep. You will be less grumpy and more pleasant. Life will become calmer because your fuse will be much longer.
Running a business takes a lot and demands so much, and it needs you to be at your best every day. Getting enough sleep will give you that boost you need so much. Once you discover the beauty and the power of sleep, you will never want to lose out on it ever again.
The early bird does catch the worm because it went to bed on time. It's no use you wake up early but feeling groggy and tired. You will miss the worm even it dangles in front of you with all its family members.
Sleeping together with exercise and a healthy diet are the keys to a sharper mind and better you. Get enough rest and you will feel the difference.
In today's podcast it's all about the power of sleep. Don't miss it with me Olivia Sambo
Can you fart when you are with the person you love? And why not? Does your partner get offended when you let it rip? If you can't fart with the person who claims to love you, then what else must you keep inside? What else must you hold back so as not to offend your partner?
Farting is one of the most natural things to do. Everybody does it. So why can't you do in the comfort of your home, in your safe space, where you're supposed to unwind and to relax?
A person who judges and criticises you for farting in their presence will judge and criticise even your dreams. They will stifle you. I'm not talking here about farting at work and in the presence of every friend, this is about farting in your home, and being comfortable about it.
There are few things more satisfying than farting, the release of feeling the gases escape from you, and if someone can tolerate you with your farts and the smell, then you must know that you are in safe hands.
Have the fart conversation. And see what it reveals about the person you're with.
In this show find out how to choose the right person for the service you want to deliver or the product you want to sell.
Why is it so hard to save? And what does it even mean to have a goal? In today's podcast, I take through the first steps of saving and explain how saving can be simple and why you don't need more money to start saving.
Lots of books have been written, many jokes have been made about the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It can be a beautiful match as they share a man whom they both love, or it could be a match made in hell if the two don't get along. Too often the son and husband are caught between two women if only one of them oversteps their boundaries, and don't want to accept or understand that there is space for both of them. Here in today's podcast, I share my views on this relationship that doesn't have to be difficult or unpleasant, but too many times are.
Do you want to get married but your guy doesn't want to commit? Have you asked yourself why you want to get married to someone who doesn't want to get married to you? Do you know what it means to be married, and what it takes to stay married? Find out in today's podcast how you can find that guy who wants to marry you, and what you should do if he doesn't want to commit.
Are you looking for a man but you just can't seem to find the right person? Listen to today's podcast and find out why you might find it hard to attract the right man to you.
"Wives, submit to your own husbands..." Ephesians 5:22. This scripture has been misused and misinterpreted for all the wrong reasons. It has been used in religious circles to oppress and silence women into submitting. Today I talk about this scripture and explain what it means to submit. It has nothing to do with force or violence, and it doesn't mean a woman should become a man's slave. For a woman to submit to a man, he needs to show her love, and then it becomes easy for her to surrender her heart.
God has been portrayed as a vengeful, angry, and jealous god who's always ready to punish. But do you know how loving, how forgiving and how generous He truly is. Today's podcast is a reminder of who God is and how it changes your life once you get to know Him.
How often do you hear that God loves you? Do you understand what this means? Do you accept God's love and do you know how much you are loved? This podcast is a reminder of what God's love means and what God sees when He looks at you. If you want to remember and to be introduced to God's love, then you have to listen to this message.

If you ever wanted to find out where to start if you want to become financially independent, then today,s podcast is for you. But know that there is no quick fix or magic formula, it all comes down to your choices and priorities if you want to be financially free.
Saray Khumalo, the first black African woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest is a strong independent woman who lives to inspire and she’s always pushing herself to new and better heights. Today she talks to me about being African, being a mother and what drives her. She is incredibly driven but she is also very humble, making it her mission to contribute and inspire others to be better and to be more. And she makes you believe that you can.
On the 25th of October she will be spinning for eight hours to raise funds for digital literacy. And she invites corporates and everyone else to come and support this initiative that iwill be hosted at Planet Fitness gymnasiums in Pretoria, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.
How do you know that you want to be an entrepeneur? And are you prepared to trade job security for an opportunity to build your dreams?
Today I speak to Paul Keursten from Workshop 17 about these and other things. Being an entrepeneur is not for the fainthearted but if you have that fire in your belly you will never be satisfied working at a normal job that doesn't satisfy you. Paul shares his accidental introduction to entrepeneurship and how was doing it without realising it. He shares the wonderful advice that instead of focusing on building a business, you should focus on finding a solution. And the rest will follow.
He believes that you should use every day to make an impact and a difference in someone's life. That is the essence of a life well-lived. He also warns that you have to be a bit crazy to be an entrepeneur but the rewards far outweigh the setbacks.
In this interview, Paul Keursten talks about his love for family, how to enjoy the simple things in life and to never settle for anything less than living your best life.
Listen to this podcast as he shares beautiful practical advice that will inspire and uplift you. And motivate you to start looking at your own life differently, and ask what can you do to live life better and in a much more meaningful way.
Today I speak to Sheldon Friedericksen, Chief Financial Officer at Fedgroup about public-private partnerships as a vessel to grow the economy of South Africa. We speak about transparency, trust and debt levels, and what are the possible solutions to build a better economy. Sheldon also shares his opinion on how we can work together as South Africans by starting to have those difficult and uncomfortable conversations. He also encourages management to create a culture of trust in organisations where employees feel valued and are able to contribute or criticise without fear of reprisal.
What do you do after you've climbed Mount Everest? And if you are the first black African woman to achieve this? Most people would spend their entire lives celebrating that major feat and view it as their one major accomplishment. And then bask in the sunlight of that moment for the rest of their lives. But not if you are Saray Khumalo.
Saray is always striving for the next big adventure, and she does it with a bang, pushing boundaries and breaking down barriers. And her next big thing, for now, is to spin for eight hours. If you've ever done a spinning class, you will understand how gruelling just one hour can be, and I won't blame you if you clutch your heart in shock and reach for something to calm your nerves. Just imagining eight hours of spinning is causing my system to shut down.
But Saray is doing it with passion and determination while making it sound so easy. And it is for a cause that lies very close to her heart. She is attempting to raise R1 million rand for digital literacy. This is all happening on the 25th of October and you can be part of this event. She is inviting corporates, and people to come and take part in this event. If the goal of R1 million is reached, it will set a new record and it will change the lives of children across South Africa.
Saray Khumalo is a leader who leads by example, and she builds people in more ways that she will ever realise. It's impossible to be in contact in her and not be touched by her humility, generosity, tenacity and her genuine desire to make this world a better place.
I spoke to her in this podcast about her journey, her love for education, her setbacks and her triumphs. If ever you felt that life dealt you a blow, and you will never get up again, Saray will remember you about the power you possess to overcome anything and that you can accomplish even the most impossible dreams. She admits that success doesn't come easy, but as long as you do you with determination, the right mindset, and the absolute refusal to give up you will reach that destination you envisioned. And then when you've achieved what seemed like an unattainable goal, you will realise that there's still so much more. And continue on your journey to even greater achievements.
I hope you'll enjoy listening to the podcast and be inspired by a phenomenal, courageous and authentic woman. And feel the Saray Khumalo effect.

Paul Keursten, CEO and Co-founder of Workshop17 is all about vision, innovation and connecting people. And true to his nature, he started a business that reflects everything he believes in. He has this absolute belief that you must live a meaningful Iife that will make an impact on those around you. And he lives up to his own belief.
Paul is one of those rare people who leads by example and only demands from others that which he is prepared to do himself. He encourages you to find what you love and do it with all your heart. Live with authenticity, inspire, motivate and create, and success will find you. When he shared a vision for Workshop17, an office space where the CEO and the guy from the Cape flats can meet and collaborate, it was, it seemed like just another unrealistic idea. But he went ahead and together with Mark Seftel used their money to invest in Workshop17. It was a huge risk that they took, but exactly the kind of thing that Paul would do because true to his nature he believes that you must put your money where your mouth is. That was eight years ago. And the business has grown so much since then.
Many lessons were learnt, many mistakes were made but Paul kept on building that dream of an innovative workspace where you create, innovate and just have fun. He explained that is unthinkable to him to spend hours in traffic, go to a job that you hate, and working in an ugly space that drains you. He believes you deserve more and better because life is too precious to spend even one day being miserable.
His vision was to create beautiful spaces where you will enjoy spending time , where creativity is fostered and people are connecting on a personal level. In short, a space where good things happen, and no two days are the same because each day is filled with unexpected developments that even he could never imagine in his wildest dreams.
Paul and Mark poured their hearts into building a business from scratch, by introducing a totally new concept to South Africa, and it paid off wonderfully. The spaces of Workshop17 reflect the love and dedication of the founders and the energy they bring to every aspect of the business.
Covid-19 has not been kind to them but after the initial setback they re-invented themselve and started re-thinking the business to deliver an even better service to their clients.
Paul thrives in an environment where there are trust and mutual respect and where you feel free to be who you are. In this interview with Paul there was so much wisdom and honesty, and lessons that I personally took to heart.
I hope you enjoy this podcast and find inspiration in the words of Paul Keursten, CEO and CO-founder of Workshop17. ANd hopefully you would want and go experience Workshop17 for yourself.

Covid-19 het ons gedwing op 'n ander wyse te begin dink en het geweldige aanpassinge vereis, nie net in ons leefwyse nie, maar ook in ons denke. Die opvoeding van ons kinders is nou onder die soeklig, weens al die onsekerheid oor die veiligheid van skole in terme van Covid-19. Ons leef nou in 'n wêreld waar die reëls herskryf moet word, maar ons is steeds besig om uit te pluis wat die reëls nou eintlik is. Meer ouers begin ook nou oorweeg om met tuisskool onderrig te begin, maar is onseker oor wat hulle te doen staan, en wat dit behels. Vandag gesels ek met Rike Wedderbun van Pretoria, 'n tuisskool ma, en sy deel 'n paar kosbare wenke oor die lewe as tuisskoler. Dis nie 'n maklike besluit nie, en 'n geweldige groot verantwoordelikheid, want jou kind se opvoeding raak jou verantwoordelikheid. Jy gaan jou pad verloor, en moedeloos raak, maar die belangrikste is dat jy nie onnodige druk op jouself of jou kinders moet stel nie. Tuisskool het ook die voordeel dat jy dit op verskillende maniere kan aanpak, en jy kan eksprimenteer, tot jy 'n metode vind wat vir julle as gesin werk. Daar's 'n wonderlike sêding tussen tuisskolers wat sê, "Jy bou tuisskool rondom jou lewe, nie jou lewe rondom tuisskool nie." As jy dit oorweeg om self jou kind te leer, luister gerus na die onderhoud met Rike, net om die eerste tree na duidelikheid te neem.
Kelly Kropman is one of many lawyers who is fighting for those whose voices are seldom heard. She fights for the marginalised, the forgotten and most vulnerable in our society. And she does it with grit, determination and compassion. Speaking to her it's so easy to pick up on her passion for her work and the pure pleasure she gets from helping her clients. In this short interview, Kelly gives us a glimpse into her life and shares her love for what she does. She's one of those people who inspires you without even trying and who leaves you with a sense that the world is still a good place. She leaves you with a sense of the possibility of what life has to offer, and how much we have to offer in our own way.
In the beginning of the lockdown many workers were left destitute because they couldn't claim for UIF, simply because their employer didn't register for UIF. Most of the workers who were affected were casual workers, migrant workers and domestic workers. The Casual Workers Advice Office reached out to Kelly Kropman from Kropman Attorneys in Rosebank, Johannesburg to assist them. Kelly and a team of expert lawyers from different law firms took the case to court and won. Employees who have been working for years but were not registered for UIF could now claim compensation from the Department of Employment and Labour. It has brought huge relief for families who were in very desperate situations with no possibility of an income. Though it was a tough and extremely stressful time for the lawyers and the advocates who were part of the legal team, Kelly believes that it was nothing compared to what workers were experiencing when they had to go for months without an income.
In this podcast she shares her journey and pays tributes to the activists who are at the forefront of social change and push back against injustices.
She singles out the Casual Workers Advice Office, Women on Farms Project and Izwi Domestic Workers, who are passionate about changing the lives of workers and their families. They are the ones who come face to face with the desperation, discrimination and difficulties workers face, and they are the ones who provide a voice for those who otherwise would not be heard.
An amazing and uplifting interview with an Emotional Freedom Therapist, Brian V. Moore, a man who wears many interesting and colourful hats. This is the the first of many interviews where he talks about the many interesting and fascinating experiences he had, and is still having. Brian explains what Emotional Freedom Tapping is, and how it can help you to heal from emotional wounds of the past. He mentions different examples of how EFT has helped people to heal from fear, from pain, from hurt. He takes us through the process and explains why it's such a powerful tool for healing and finding closure. To my utter surprise he offered to have a session with me, and it did me wonders. It was one of the most freeing and experiences I've ever had in my life and I was blown away by the simplicity of this method and how fast it works. I would recommend EFT to anyone who's struggling with pain from the past, whether, it's emotional or physical. Brian is a brilliant therapist and his compassion made it really easy to just let go. Just be warned, it's impossible to be anything less than truthful with Brian, his spirit is so pure and honest that you just feel it would be a disservice to lie to him. If you were ever interested in EFT, or if you've never heard about it, you should listen to this podcast because Brian gives a simple breakdown of the therapy and I can tell you, it works wonders. I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as I've enjoyed doing the interview.
In this interview I speak to a fashion designer who saw her business disappearing because of Covid-19. She talks about starting over because giving up was not an option. She gives an honest and open account of what it felt like to move from profit and security to fear and uncertainty, and how she managed to pick herself up again. One of the biggest lessons i she shares is how you must have the mental and emotional strength to face your fears and still find the strength to move on when all the odds are stacked against you. She also shares how she started out with nothing thirty years ago, and how long it took to be successful. I felt inspired because it was not a whining session but more about asking what can be done to move forward. If you are feeling down and depressed, I would encourage you to listen to this interview to get a glimpse into the cost of losing something you poured your heart and your soul into, and yet find the strength and the courage to go on, simply because giving up is not an option.
