People are as free as they want to be… Change becomes possible when we correctly calibrate necessity and freedom. #PsychologyofBeing

Significant developments for SA in the Green Energy revolution. It is crucial to drive policy that benefits the continent - because we've seen this minerals arms race before. To watch in 2025: - G20 Hosting - AU President election - New Head of AfD Bank moneyweb.co.za/news/economy/r…

@bchesky Women in 'founder mode' and positions of leadership often seen in a totally different light to men. When you're ambitious and direct, even labelled as 'pushy'. True story.

Women founders have been reaching out to me over the past 24 hours about how they don’t have permission to run their companies in Founder Mode the same way men can. This needs to change

In a world increasingly dominated by noise and distraction, a new trend is emerging among discerning travellers: the pursuit of genuine solitude. discoverafrica.com/blog/africas-f…
