In this week's episode, we are in conversation with Nompumelelo Amanda Ledwaba, founder of Wisdom and Wellness, a digital entrepreneur, creative and best-selling author of "How Did We Get Here". She takes us through her entrepreneurial journey. Key Lessons - In business, you need the humility to take up any role and the confidence to step up in a boardroom when required. Whenever you want to excel in anything, you have to keep practicing. Put in your 10 000 hrs. Delegate, and focus on your strengths instead of your weaknesses. Be intensely involved and knowledgeable about every aspect of your business. Have structures and systems in place to govern your business. Life is seasonal. Embrace all seasons and emotions. Happy Employment Wednesday! #podcast #employmentwednesdays #entrepreneur #success
In this week's episode, we are in conversation with Zolile Shude, an LLB graduate from the University of KwaZulu Natal. Currently serving as a clerk to one of the constitutional court judges. Key Lessons - God always has a master plan. Doing something twice doesn't render you a failure, but a person who believes in themselves enough to give themselves another shot. Being the best at anything does not exempt you from trials, tests, and repetition. Apply for bursaries as early as grade 11. There is no noble cause than to stand up for the poor and make South Africa a better place. Law requires more than just being smart.

In this week's episode we are in conversation with Bongani Baloyi, a videographer and digital entrepreneur. In this episode he takes us through how he moved from being a university dropout to being one of the best digital creatives. Key lessons - University dismentles the idea that we are the best, because you meet more brilliant people, which can either demoralize or encourage you. Computer literacy is still at a decline for previously disadvantaged groups. Its okay to fail, Its a learning curve. Curiosity will lead you to your wildest dreams and accomplishments. Passion and ability are different aspects. Just cause you can, it doesn't mean you have to do it. There is power in collaboration. Authenticity and humility keeps your longevity in the creative industry. Brands are managed by real people, be mindful what you put out there, social media never forgets. #podcast #employmentwednesdays #creative #videography

Your environment can either slow down your productivity or enhance it. You are the magic, you are the engine that keeps the car moving. Have something to offer, there has to be merits, give the opportunity something to work with.
