The Journey so fari have worked with the non-profit organisation Heartlines since 2015 i think it was. And it has been an incredible journey that has taken me to some incredible spaces and connected me to so many amazing people who are doing country-changing things. When i began, the main focus was on a programme called 'What's Your Story?' with the tagline: You know my name, but do you know my story? We still do a lot of [...]
Out of the Fishbowl: The Podcast begins... So on July 26, 2021, the very first episode of my podcast, titled Out of the Fishbowl [corresponding with a column i used to write for a magazine called Vision] was launched. Pineapple on Pizza was very well received [urgh, even writing that!] and it continues to be my most popular episode, currently on 771 listens, but very much looking forward to crossing that 1000 mark, maybe [...]

hi everyone, i have not blogged for at least a year, but figured i do have a few things to say or share and so here we go and what better way than to drop my word for the year, although even as i type this sentence i don't have one yet, so this is going to be quite Improv'd. i just saw that my most recent post was my word for the year [...]
Every year i try to focus in on a Word for the Year and 2024 is no different. Although, i guess you could say it is a little different, as i normally use words that exist. But while i was leaning in and listening and trying to get a sense of what my word for this year would be i came up with a made-up word that i thought would be perfect. And then [...]
For those of you who have been waiting quite a while for this moment, Season 4 of my podcast, Out of the Fishbowl, landed today. You can jump right in and dive into episode one, titled, 'Holding Two things' over here and please give feedback, add comments where you listen, and share the link if you like it. i think this one is going to land really well! But for those of you who [...]
There is likely to be one chance in the history of the world for one country to hold both the Rugby and Cricket World Cups at the same time - it's time to REALLY get behind our boys. The job is halfway done. Like everyone else, i was SUPER BUMMED when we lost so badly to India yesterday, although likely more so. i like to think of myself as South Africa's biggest cricket fan, [...]
Did the world really need a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie though? After getting free tickets to the Premier screening of the Seth Rogen influenced Jeff Rowe directed new animated version of our favourite renaissance-themed crime fighters on Sunday at Blue Route, the answer is a resounding: YES!!! Most of you by now know the basic story: After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win [...]
i came across The Something Guy on the Twitterer a long time ago. The title 'The Something Guy' really grabbed my attention and later i would get to connect Shaun Zietsman [the man behind the title] and learn and see a little more about what he does. More recently Shaun started a whatsapp connection group for a number of influencers that i was privileged to be a part of and we have been learning [...]
Dear Cape Town church, i have an exciting opportunity for you. Knowing full well as someone who grew up in and about the church, that you tend to be busy with your things, whatever those things are. Your programs, and events, and services, and plans. And so the idea of stopping for another one will likely not appeal. But what if i told you that this is FREE firstly [always a bonus] and promises [...]
