Hi there,

Hope you are all keeping well and safe. 

This 30 min episode just talks about the week (Monday to Friday) I had and highlights a few things I completed each day. This is over and above what I normally do as a stay-at-home and self-employed dad.

Lastly, as mentioned in the heading, we had communication from school about my son's Year class and at short notice we have been informed all Year 2's need to self-isolate for 14 days....a teacher tested positive!!!

As you heard during my recording, my son and wife busy in the background...this is what normal life is...I am a father and a husband and do not operate in vacuum, so apologies for the noises.

Many thanks for listening and I look forward to welcoming you back for my next episode.

Find and follow your passion. 

I identify what your gifts are, what are you passionate about....what are you good at? I learned the hard way and I am reflecting in this episode on a few career highs and lows over a few decades and on how I got to where I am today!

Are you resilient? Do you have grit? If like me, you had to learn through many mistakes....all I can say is, resilience can be taught...like anything in life.

Key mentions in this episode:

Where I studied; Where I worked; Movements between South Africa and the United Kingdom; Apartheid; ANC; Nelson Mandela; Black Economic Empowerment/Affirmative Action; Ethnicity and Race classification; Poverty; Deprivation; Privilege; Depression; Management Consulting; Career change; Academia/Higher Education; Resilience; Success and Failure (high and low points); Grit; Learning; Self-love; Worthiness; Passion and finally My Familia!

Please send me a message if you want challenge, comment or just say anything about what I have shared. I would love to hear your thoughts, corrections or feedback.

Thanks for tuning in.

Apologies for the not so clean audio....as I was talking and recording, I was banging on the table (will not do that again) and I also had a delivery guy at the door buzzing my intercom halfway through the second segment of this episode. My neighbour kindly let him in and dropped the parcel whist I was still recording. So sorry about that.

Roughly what I do on a daily basis but it varies obviously. Today, I recorded a quick podcast as I was getting ready to go do the school run and getting everything sorted for when we get home. Episode 1 is unscripted, so apologies if it's a bit jumbled but I wanted to just talk and be as natural as possible. I am new to all this. I promise future episodes will be more structured, I love structure even if it doesn't seem that way now...
