On this episode I chat with Norma about her book We need More Tables - Navigating Privilege In the Face Of Poverty.
This is an incredible book and in my opinion a must read.
Digital media has opened up the options available for communication, and over the past few years, Norma has particularly enjoyed multimedia content creation and production. From podcasts to bespoke video channels to social media stories, she’s found it to be an exciting time to be in the field of communicating and connecting.
Most recently, Norma headed up the digital department for Ndalo Media, a South African publishing company that focused on business news, career and entrepreneurial content. One of her career highlights was interviewing former public protector and TIME 100 honoree, Thuli Madonsela. This was for the October 2016 cover of Destiny magazine.  Unfortunately, Ndalo Media became insolvent and is currently under liquidation.
Consequently, since February 2019, Norma has been freelancing as a Writer and Editor.

On this episode we take a slightly different angle as we chat to Lucy about her life, work and journey.
Lucy says "my work involves working closely with others, as their transformation coach. Through my own journey, I have learnt valuable insight as well as tools to implement in order to bring about positive shifts in life. The journey is a very sacred inner process; whereby one needs to honor the healing process, forgiveness of self and others. To identify the energy “blockages” and better understanding of its relevance. I help others shift their perspective and understand things from a higher place of awareness and love.
 
The mind is a beautiful tool, yet many do not understand the importance of positive mental health. The importance of all that you think, feel and project ... is all that you attract into your life. 
 
My programs and work are all remote, which means I can work with anyone regardless of where they are located geographically. The process begins with healing of self, awareness of self, loving of self. Releasing of all that is not if your highest good, shifting to a more positive mindset. Implementing daily tools, to bring about positive changes etc. In short; as within...so without. 
 
There are no mistakes in life; everything and everyone has a vital role in the journey. By working closely with each, I am able to help them heal, grow, learn and empower them to choose better for themselves."

On this episode I chat with Ross about purpose and his passion for people and his work.
Why should anyone care about what your company does? With a wealth of choice and information available at the click of a button, what puts you ahead of anyone else? 90% of companies fall into the trap of talking about themselves too much and not talking about the value they create in their target market’s lives. There's a good chance you've done it, too.  You need to be able to effectively and consistently communicate the difference your company makes in the world and the lives of its customers in a way that makes people care enough to take action.
