    Ep 25: Games Without Batteries: Children’s Games from Every Continent

    Today, we’re travelling the globe through childhood play. One game from every continent, each telling a story about culture, creativity, and community. What’s fascinating is how many of these games require almost nothing: stones, chalk, string, sticks, or simply space to move. And yet, they’ve entertained generations.

    What if this season isn’t just something to survive…
what if it’s something to build in? In the latest episode of Things We Learned on a Monday Morning, I share three powerful African-driven stories: MAX AI — helping people earn income without owning a car
Solar Sister — empowering women to bring solar energy to their communities
Gjenge Makers — turning plastic waste into building materials Different industries. Different challenges.
But the same mindset: They didn’t wait for perfect conditions.
They built with what they had. And maybe that’s the reminder for all of us. #Opportunity #Entrepreneurship #AfricaRising #Innovation #MindsetShift #Podcast

    Ep 21: 20-Twenty-Fix: Real heroes don't wear capes

    Real heroes don’t wear capes. In this episode of Things We Learned on a Monday Morning, we look ahead to 2026 — “twenty-twenty-fix” — and reflect on the kind of future we’re choosing to build. Through powerful South African stories of resilience and innovation, we meet people who turned loss into leadership, problems into platforms, and everyday challenges into meaningful change. From rethinking business after a stroke, to creating pathways to work, improving access to healthcare, and simplifying daily transport — these are stories of people who fixed what was broken. More than inspiration, this episode offers practical takeaways and clear calls to action for anyone who believes that hope is something you do. Because we don’t need saviours.
We need amplifiers.
