Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aileen Lamb on Breast Cancer, Finding Purpose and Starting Again
Q: And so what was that new path?
After treatment and surgery, Lamb left her media career and used a period of reflection and an ikigai exercise to identify perfumery as her purpose. She trained in the craft and launched Heirloom Perfumery.
Aileen Lamb on Breast Cancer, Finding Purpose and Starting Again
Q: Tell us what happened.
Lamb says a routine mammogram and ultrasound led to a biopsy, and she received her breast cancer diagnosis by phone on Women's Day, at age 49, the same age her mother had been diagnosed.
A Payslip Can Change a Life: Inside the AskMandla Story
Q: Why focus on WhatsApp instead of a traditional app?
Many domestic workers don't download apps due to connectivity and cost, so the tool is built to engage through WhatsApp, making it accessible where the users already are, with an easy, conversational interface.
A Payslip Can Change a Life: Inside the AskMandla Story
Q: What is AskMandla and how does it work?
AskMandla is a WhatsApp-first HR and payroll system that guides both employers and employees through onboarding, contracting, and compliance, using an AI bot named Mandla to answer questions, collect data, sign contracts in chat, and manage monthly payroll.
10 Years Later: Letshego Zulu Opens Up About Gugu, Kilimanjaro and Life Now
Q: Tell me about your work and how you balance it with competing in races and public speaking.
She runs RL Media, works with agencies on out-of-home advertising, and also stays active in endurance sports, using the balance to fuel her keynote speaking and mentorship, particularly for women.
