  • Show No. 105 (12-04-2024)

    … knowing you from your long journey from Soul Candi, Radio Personality, Tropical Troup, and the Reality Show on VUZUTV, to mention a few of how inspiring and unique you always been! And WAW is far the best (thus far), and Show No. 105 reminded me of how much of a great multli-talented OG to ever make it through your interviews and the guests w/ sharing their life stories that gives up hope!

  • Refreshing and entertaining

    These days, EVERYONE and their cousin has a podcast. 🙄 But everyone doesn’t have a unique perspective, is interesting and entertaining; and last but not least, has such a strong brand as the Big Dawg!!

    I miss DJ on the radio, but I will take WAW as a consolation prize.

MPIMY MASHIMBYE | JOHNNIE WALKER; AFRO EXCHANGE; WALKING HIS JOURNEY; HOW TO PITCH; HIS WEEK
Q: How do you justify Afro Exchange as infrastructure rather than sponsorship?
By framing it as a long‑term platform that enables creators, sustains relationships, and builds value beyond a single event, with ownership by the brand rather than paid placement.

Bringing everyone onto the same page and closing matters in real time, which reduces anxiety and shows tangible progress beyond individual projects.

Q: How should fans approach you when you're with your kids or in a private moment?
Read the room and be considerate of context; if the moment isn't right (e.g., with food in mouths or in a sensitive moment), opt not to interrupt.

Q: Would you say you're easy or difficult to date?
Judging from what my partner says, I'm a pleasure to date, but I've had to grow and unlearn in relationships.
