This was the first episode of the podcast series aired in February 2019. Being the first episode in the series, I do believe that it did not receive enough attention and is worthy of a re-release. It was filled with tremendous life lessons and learning. Themba remains one of the most inspiring young business leaders in Africa and South Africa today.

Themba Baloyi is a textbook example of what determination can overcome in the face of every kind of adversity - a challenging family structure, money shortages for education, various business rejections - none of which could hold back the rise of this young business leader to eventually found Discovery Insure. His vision grew from just an idea to a business unit receiving more than R4B of insurance premiums - and this recently culminated in him being honoured with the All-Africa Business Leaders Award as 2018 Entrepreneur of the Year.  

He is in my mind thé role-model for any young ambitious South African wanting to go places, but seemingly have a shortage of resources to get there. His story is all-inspiring and very relevant necessary to be told.
