Bob is a blogger, podcaster and author of the book "Simple Money, Rich Life". He wrote his book to share the tools with others of how he managed to get himself and his wife, Linda out of a 400k debt and reach a personal goal of giving $1 million by age 40.
Bob also tells the story of how at age 31 God led them to begin “giving our age” as a percentage of their income (31% at the time) and increasing it each year. While this should have slowed their progress towards their goal of paying off the mortgage, they found that just 10 months later their mortgage was paid in full!
Bob's podcast is called "Seed Time Money" where the conversation is always around "how to do money right in God's eyes".

Emmanuel Enime left the USA and moved to Zagreb, Croatia, to follow what he recognized as God's calling for his life.
He goes by the title of character coach, meaning, he helps people build their character. On this episode we discussed various ways in which he helps others build a better character such as daring them to do something out of character like singing loud in the public main square! Emmanuel maintains that if you can conquer your fears, like the fear of looking silly, you can be in a better position to hear and respond to God when he asks you to do something bold!
In the spirit of demonstrating what he means by this, he even got me to sing during the recording of this episode!

Katleho Mallela is a young South African actress and producer of the play Ruined_Road to Fringe. At a young age she won a scholarship to go and study drama at the New York Film Academy in LA. When she was there she got frustrated by not seeing stories of black women being told. She then found a black playwright who wrote a play for her based on the war in Congo in the 60s and how women were raped and mistreated. This story resonated a lot with Katleho as it was very similar to everyday lived experiences of women in SA. The play was so well-received in the US that she decided to bring it back home to SA.
Katleho is currently working with a small team to create a campaign to create dialogue around femicide and gender-based violence. She is using her play and other forms of media to tell her story and encourage other women to tell their stories too.

Thola sat down with Siya and Luyolo the co-founders of an organization called #LangaForMen to discuss how they are addressing this scourge of violence against women in the community of KwaLanga, a township just outside of Cape Town.
LangaForMen not only addresses GBV, they also sponsor sanitary towels to young girls who come from poverty-stricken households, run a soup kitchen, conduct health talks specifically targeting young men, and work with the police to find solutions against crime in the community.
