The promise of a problem with M&C Saatchi Abel Group CEO Jacques Burger

Out of crisis comes opportunity. If there are no challenges, there's nothing that pushes you to think differently or innovate. That’s why Jacques Burger, M&C Saatchi Abel Group CEO, finds South Africa to be an exciting space for business right now. In this bonus episode of season one of the Willing & Abel podcast, host Mike Abel spends some time with his fellow founder of M&C Saatchi Abel to share insights on the value of connecting with people and how to navigate brand building in this evolving world. As someone who has left the country and then returned, Jacques can speak with authority about what you can’t get anywhere else: our space, the light, and the kindness of our people. The diversity and the vibrancy of our economy and entrepreneurs. The Willing & Abel podcast is the home of hopeful conversations that challenge perspectives.

Achieving change from the ground up with politician and activist Mbali Ntuli

South Africa is not looking great. But, according to Mbali Ntuli, founder and CEO of Ground Work Collective, what is in our favour is that we've got a young population who have the potential to reboot our country. As an optimist, Mbali says that whenever she sees a challenge, we must run towards it. In a deep and candid conversation with host Mike Abel, the former DA youth leader shares her hope that if we make sure that young people understand what's at stake and how to use democracy, they’re going to be far smarter than the generations before us. She also shares more about how she’s getting young people involved (with fried chicken and fashion vouchers), how self-awareness helps with handling conflict, and the power of forgiveness.
