Where does your responsibility for others' behaviour end? And how can you take charge of what you CAN control? Join Dr. Smit and I as we discuss the underappreciated power of responsibility and how you can always know what you should try to control.
We also discuss the "clarity tree" for parsing personal responsibility, how much responsibility we should take for our children β stopping by my two parenting mantras on the way β and how focusing on controlling the right things will lead to much better results than gambling your energy away on the wrong things.

What's the difference between the pain that ruins you and the pain that grows you? In this episode, I chat with Dr Marietjie Smit about the difference between "slow pain" that needs healing and "grow pain" that you need to become the person you want to be.
Discover what slow pain is trying to tell you, how to respond to it properly, and why simply waiting for time to heal old wounds doesn't work. We also get into how unresolved pain can hurt your closest relationships through projection and transference, and the key differences between therapy and coaching in moving you forward.

Have you ever said, "I'm not a morning person"?
Marietjie and I get into how our beliefs shape our lives β regardless if they are true or not β and how we use limiting beliefs in the form of identity statements like, "I'm not creative" to justify staying safe and comfortable.
We look at the role identity statements play in our lives, share personal examples and suggest practical ways to change them into statements that serve us.

Do you need to know where your beliefs come from to change them?
In this conversation with Dr. Marietjie Smit, we talk about the beliefs that shape us, and how we can replace them with new, healthy beliefs even if we are unable to access where they come from.
We also look at the common idea of "fake it till you make it", and propose a much more helpful approach for replacing your beliefs with healthier ones that serve you and reflect the true you.

What are you afraid of when it comes to achieving your biggest goals and dreams? Failure? Success? In the first episode of this new series, Dr Marietjie Smit and I unpack how fear holds us back from living up to our potential.
From fearing failure to fearing success, catastrophizing about worst-case scenarios and reframing fear to move forward, we examine how fear keeps you stuck in a myriad of different ways, and how to break through and overcome it, or harness it to keep moving forward. Whether you are actively facing fear or totally unaware of how much it is influencing you, you will gain something from this conversation.

Josh Romisher, CEO of LaunchLab in South Africa, shares his experience helping entrepreneurs and academics build startups and his ultimate focus on dealing with the "big wicked problem" of climate change. Being closely connected to Stellenbosch University, Josh shares how he leverages LaunchLab's relationship with SU in two directions; building startups from university research and ideas, and building startups with university experts. He also discusses the importance of passion, grit, and a growth mindset in entrepreneurship, and designing solutions for real needs rather than trying to commercialize research. Josh offers insights on universities as catalysts for innovation through partnerships between entrepreneurs, experts, and students, and reflects on applying entrepreneurial principles like having a clear mission and values in his personal life as a husband and father. Key themes include pursuing meaningful work, cultivating work-life balance, and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in all aspects of life. β β β β Francois Esterhuizen is a life coach who helps professionals get unstuck and gain momentum, and a relationship counsellor with decades of experience who specialises in conflict and communication.

This inspiring interview with Paul Rowett dives into his journey as a purpose-driven entrepreneur. After achieving business success and an exit, Paul realized money and time freedom weren't enough - he needed purpose. A documentary about plastic pollution sparked Paul into action on climate change. He launched a currency called Toco that creates environmental wealth and demand for carbon removal, where users can exchange Rands for Toco on an app, then spend Toco at participating merchants in Stellenbosch, with each transaction removing their carbon footprint. The vision is to scale Toco globally, boosting demand and pricing for high-quality carbon credits. Paul shares openly about finding purpose, being present with family amidst the busyness of starting a movement, and how his wife supports his purpose.
