Tings and Things is hosted by Jonathan Mbaya and Simba Tsumba, two lifelong friends. Our Podcast transcends borders and strips away all the filters from the perfectly edited and curated lives we have become accustomed to online. As a duo, we manage to open up a platform to have real conversations that touch upon what it means to live and learn, alongside occasional guest appearances from some of the most dynamic people across industries and our Tings & Things family. We found that through our travel and adventures, our struggles as young adults were not unique to us. Tings and Things was designed to share those experiences since those were not being discussed by traditional media outlets, and alongside our back and forth banter and undeniable chemistry, we have found the perfect formula to exhibit the everyday stories of life in an everyday conversational way.

    Your dreams have no limits, you are the creator of your dreams, big or small. When this is understood, you are able to design a way to favour you plan and accomplish your end goal.

    The truth is, as I’m sure you know, the older we get, the more our bodies change. But sometimes we forget that this also means we need to adjust our self-care habits. We’ve spoken about it before *insert episode* but life is a linear journey and we have been learning more about ourselves and we decided to come back to this.

I just stumbled across this pod and couldn’t resist. I’ve only heard a few but enjoyed so far. I must disagree about the sweatshirt thievery theory to an extent. If you don’t want to lose the clothes why offer? Or ask for them back? I have two shirts belonging to someone who’ll remain nameless but was never ask for their return. It’s so cold in the South I think I’ll throw one on now. Maybe one day soon grandma will get to catch up with my dear old friend if y’all have a contact page/email? Cheers to success! Next step Batman level!
