By the Way, with Rokcie & Golder

We examine lessons we have learnt from the workplace over the past 2/3 years. Work is a huge part of our lives, we make money from it, spend most of our time there and even attach our self-esteem and future to it. In this episode we try to share what we have learnt from our work experiences as 9/5vers.

Mental health can a conundrum, especially in our African communities.
