About Kismet Compass

“No studio. No fancy gear. Just me, my iPad, and the climb.” I’m starting this podcast the way most journeys begin; imperfect, a little rough around the edges, but real. These are raw reflections on coaching, leadership, courage, and growth. The wins, the wobbles, and the wisdom I’m gathering as I build from the ground up. Because leadership isn’t about waiting until everything’s perfect, it’s about showing up, even when it’s messy. If this sparked something in you, follow along. I’m sharing my journey and reflections for real.

   The Philosophers’ Path: Kierkegaard

   Episode 11: Kierkegaard; Choose Your Life With Courage Leadership begins with the courage to choose your own path. In this episode, we walk with Søren Kierkegaard, exploring his belief that authenticity is built through intentional choices, not inherited expectations. Kierkegaard teaches us that drifting is easy, but choosing your life requires courage, honesty, and responsibility. When we make decisions aligned with our values, we lead ourselves with clarity and purpose. If you’ve ever felt the pull to live more intentionally, more authentically, or more in alignment with who you’re becoming, Kierkegaard’s wisdom will guide you. Take a breath. Slow down. And choose your life with courage. Follow the journey over on LinkedIn: Hendrik Bothma, or at Kismet Compass on YouTube or right here where you found this podcast episode.

   The Philosophers’ Path Nietzsche

   Episode 10: Nietzsche; Rise Into Who You Are Becoming Leadership grows when we choose courage over comfort. In this episode, we walk with Friedrich Nietzsche, exploring his belief that growth requires strength, honesty, and the willingness to rise beyond who we were yesterday. Nietzsche teaches us that every challenge is an invitation to grow, and that leadership becomes stronger when we confront our fears, honour our values, and step boldly into our potential. If you’ve ever felt the pull to rise, to grow, or to become a stronger version of yourself, Nietzsche’s wisdom will guide you. Take a breath. Slow down. And rise into who you are becoming.
