Tara Ashleigh Emma Is a physiotherapist and and health care professional in the town of Maclear in the Eastern Cape. The introduction of Community Healthcare Workers into the health system has brought about a lot of relief to the overburden healthcare system that has a high vacancy rates in its hospitals and clinics. The Eastern Cape Health Department is said to be at risk of losing hundreds of doctors and nurses. The looming crisis has been attributed to financial troubles facing the department and reported failure to retain key health professionals. The National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union [NEHAWU] in the Eastern Cape has learnt with great disappointment the decision by the Provincial Department of Health not to renew the contracts of 2748 Community Healthcare Workers who were brought in to supplement the government's efforts against the Covid-19 pandemic. The short-sighted decision by the Department to terminate the contracts of the much-needed 2748 contract workers is an insult to the people of the Eastern Cape and clearly demonstrates the lack of strategic leadership in the Department. In-fact the department should permanently employ these workers. -

This discussion was conducted with a few friends of mine who studied engineering at the University of Pretoria but decided to leave the field of engineering and pursue other careers. At first, it seemed as if there must have been a problem with Engineering as a career choice within South-Africa but as we carried on chatting, we realised that engineering is a way of thinking that can be applied to any field dedicated to solving problems.

What does it take to thrive as an Artist in Africa? Nino Sekeleni is a graphic designer for Africa's biggest football publication, Soccer Laduma as well as my childhood friend. He obtained his degree from the prestigious AFDA College which is the only school of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance within Africa. After obtaining his Honours degree in Motion Picture & Television Production, he went through the struggle that most artists in Africa need to go through: "What do I do with my skill?", in a continent that does not offer opportunities for creative talent. Our discussion is aimed to inspire the creatives in this world, to pursue their dreams, in a smart way that generates income. Nino is also the founder of The Local Boys ZA, a platform that supports other creatives showcase their talent through various mediums. The platform currently supports his passion for football and media production and will eventually offer mentorship and guidance for upcoming artists within South-Africa as an independent production house.

Following last week's brain dump, Kegan and I further discussed the elephant in the room.    Money and lots of it. Does it make you happy?   Kegan has been privileged to have worked for some of the wealthiest people in the world. The 1% as we may call them. He has had the opportunity to observe and understand what most of us have never had the opportunity to do.   One of the biggest events that shaped Kegan was going through a back injury where doctors suggested implanting plates in his back made Kegan re-evaluate what money and life meant to him.   In our discussion, we covered the following:   - The pros and cons of having so much money  - How hitting rock bottom influenced Kegan's view on money  - How he recovered from a career-ending back injury  - The importance of having an end game for your money  - Being sure of yourself in a world that convinces you otherwise  - Why we need to pursue hobbies outside of work  - How social media gets you to buy more by playing with your emotions  - Why we need to be grounded in the age of social media  - How changing careers made me happier  - How podcasts changed our lives  - What we would do if money didn't matter   -------------------------------------------  Kegan left for France to work on the Yachts which were owned by some of the world's elite.    His adventures over the last 8 years have taken him all over the world as well as provided him with a stable income to live a good life when his time at sea is done.   His exposure to the rich and famous made him question whether money really makes you happy.  -------------------------------------------  #Money #MoneyMatters #DoesMoneyMakeYouHappy #BrainDump

It's more uncommon for people to know what they want out of life and get it right the first time that we would like to believe.  This week we have Kegan Emms. He is a lifelong friend of mine who decided to go against the grain of furthering his studies after school.    He had no idea what he wanted to do in life but at least he knew what he didn't want... which was to sit in an office all day.   He realized that there will be situations, tasks and moments in your life where you have to do things that you don't want to in order to get what you want in the end.   In this podcast, we covered the following:   - The areas of the world that the yacht life has taken him.  - Why he chose the Yacht life instead of studying further.  - The importance of having a degree or diploma.  - The importance of gaining life experience.  - The struggle of knowing what to do when completing school.  - Knowing who you are as a person and being happy with that.  - How continuous improvement and self-education can change your circumstances.  - Using the internet of things as a resource to change your life.  - Embracing uncertainty to find your way.  - The need to find your worth outside of people's perception of you.  -------------------------------------------  Kegan left for France to work on the Yachts which were owned by some of the world's elite.    His adventures over the last 8 years have taken him all over the world as well as provided him with a stable income to live a good life when his time at sea is done.   Although everything turned out well, it took him time to find his feet. Just like many of us, he also realised that it is normal to struggle and find your feet.   -------------------------------------------  #Happiness #Self-Love #Self-Discovery #Life
