Talking Orangutans Podcast

Episode #54 Davey Du Plessis|English| Veganism, surviving & seeing life from a different perspective How did this podcast happen? One, I did a podcast with a 50-year old gay Afrikaans recovering addict called Freddie (ep #4) whom now is one of my best friends. A year later I asked all my former podcast guests to hook me up with someone interesting. Freddie introduced me to Chris Barnard Hospital's trauma surgeon Dr Denis (ep #33). Denis in turn got me in touch with trauma counselor Robyn (ep #48) who in turn introduced me to her son Davey (ep#54). Davey was, and still is, a young adventurer whom in 2012 during his solo crossing of the Amazon river was ambushed on his kayak and shot 5 times. Through a sequence of events he survived and continued his life as a adventurer. Check him out at http://www.daveyduplessis.com/ As an interviewer, I want to make the make the conversation with the guests as stimulating as possible not only for the listener but also the interviewee. A lot of times this means to step away from previous asked questions and to try and find a different side to the person by asking them things they have not yet been asked in order to gain experience from their whole being in a way where they enjoy talking. To hear about Davey's horrendous Amazon experience, please read his book http://www.daveyduplessis.com/buy-the-book/ watch his seminar on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Oztg_F9AU or listen to other podcasts such as WORDS WORDS SPEAK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpegF5xkr-g. I went more into what makes him tick, how nature and nurture played roles in his mentality, and, how veganism changed his life and what we non-vegans can consider. Luckily at the end he acknowledged the refreshing approach which is a high-note for me to finish my podcast while I immigrate and consider if I want to continue. Davey was a tough nut to crack and by the second half we really got going and talked long after the podcast finished. I am very grateful for him meeting me - a complete stranger and someone he didn't know until our Skype session started on this evening - and sharing his life experience very honestly. I learned a lot from his thoughts and although not converting me, he actually made me appreciate a new perspective to life i.e. veganism.

TO PODCAST #53 Derrick Jenson |English| Author, Philosopher & Radical Environmentalist How did I get to have this chat? I asked my friend and fellow podcaster Freddie Van Rensburg (Meet me in the Field podcast) to hook me up with people whom I will have a nice chat. He referred me to Dr. Denis (Ep#33). Denis hooked me up with trauma counselor Robyn (Ep#48) whom in turn hooked me up with Derrick. When I researched Derrick, this is what his website said: Derrick Jensen is hailed as the philosopher poet of the environmental movement. Learn about Deep Green Resistance & his other anti-civilization works. https://derrickjensen.org/ I was instantly intrigued. This podcast, and its the research that went into prepping it, helped me to start thinking about life and the way we interact with it in a different way. If you are like me and not 100% sure you are living the way you should or could, take a listen to not only this podcast but many of the others that Derrick has done (other podcasters) and is doing (Resistance Radio) https://deepgreenresistance.blogspot.com/p/derrick-jensen-resistance-radio-archives.html

Ep #52 Truchen Vorndran |Afrikaans| Teaching English in Korea As jy 'n onderwyser in Korea was, is dit maybe 'n walk down memory lane vir jou. As jy 'n onderwyser in Korea wil wees, is dit maybe 'n insightful chat oor wat om te verwag. Ek en Truchen het klomp jare terug saam gewerk en gereeld na werk lang stories gesels oor die lewe wat ek baie van gehou het. Deel van haar verlede waaroor sy baie passievol praat is haar tyd in Korea as 'n Engelse onderwyseres. Sy het ook intussen in Vietnam as 'n Engelse onderwyseres gewerk en is huidiglik 'n voltydse skool onnie is SA ;) Hierdie podcast was om vir haar die volgende te vra: 1. Hoekom sy Korea toe gegaan het, 2. wat haar ondervinding was as 'n 'Westerner', 3. hoekom sy so baie van haar tyd daar gehou het, 4. wat van die Ooste lok haar en hoe compare ons onderwyssisteem met Korea, 5. Watter tipe aanpassing was dit? 6. Watter observasies kan sy maak van Korea en SA. Ek love hoe Truchen meer level-headed as ek gesels en het dit vreeslik baie geniet. Ek hoop julle ook.

TO PODCAST #51 Willem Evenwel |Afrikaans| Programmer: What lessons did we not learn as kids? Ek ken vir Willem meer as 10 jaar. Ons het op dieselfde dorp groot geword en in dieselfde kringe beweeg. Op Stellenbosch gedurende die 2000s, was dit gewoonlik Mystics, Bohemia, trance parties, etc. Toe ek Willem bel vir 'n Covid catch-up tune hy my van sy idee van 'lesse wat ons nie as kinders geleer was nie wat ons sou help vir adulthood' bevoorbeeld hoe om 'n ordentlike CV te design. Ons chat het gegaan rondom hoe Suid-Afrika en die wereld verander het soos ons volwassenes geword het wat beteken die skool curriculums en ons ouers se waardes nie ons gehelp het nie, miskien teen ons werk. Willem werk as 'n Program Manager vir 'n internasionale firma, maak musiek in sy vrye tyd, is onlangs getroud met sy pragtige vrou, speel indoor krieket en is 'n mens wie sy lewe tot die beste van sy vermoë probeer leef met 'n sterk waardesisteem.

Her upbringing by very liberal parents allowed her to experience life in both Apartheid and Democratic South Africa differently from most white middle-class Afrikaners which could be' pigeon-holed' as relatively conservative, traditional, religious, etc. Her work allows her to travel in Africa to countries who's culture resonates with something within her.

TO Podcast #36 (FULL) interview w. Charles about dealing with death (his fiancee / my brother) THE GOAL OF THIS PODCAST IS to talk about a very personal experience of death which all people experience differently: the way your loved-one died and the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual impact on you. Grieving is practiced and experienced differently too. Our hope is that if you had a loved-one whom passed away, maybe by listening to this podcast it will help you in some way. If so, please let us know. Charles' fiancee died in 2014 - my brother died the same year, 6 months later.

TO Podcast #34 (FULL) interview w. model Michaela about life before, during & after a model career Michaela is a 24-year old model from Pretoria, South Africa working out of Cape Town, South Africa https://www.instagram.com/michaelazzzzzz/?hl=en https://www.fanjam.co.za/fresh-faces-girls/1394749/michaela-vz https://www.thefaceparismanagement.com/model/michaela-van-zyl I met Michaela through my hospitality school. During her studies to become a part-time waitress, I heard she is about to fly out to Italy for three months to work as a model. I instantly thought 'why the hell would you continue to study to be a waitress'. She finished the course - which I probably would not have if I heard I am working internationally as a model; plus; waiters are not treated all that well in SA - and showed a resilience, desire and humility during the training. These hardworking qualities are rare not only in humans but especially younger people. When hearing she used to do MMA - mixed martial arts - I really got curious to see who the person is behind the 'plain / rebel' looking image. Our conversation almost went two hours where we talked about: 1) How she became a model 2) What to expect when you are a model 3) Her tertiary degree from TUKS in Information Science 4) Healthy lifestyle & nutrition 5) Her MMA 'career; 6) Working abroad 7) We analysed/ discussed 10 pictures from her career 8) Social Media 9) Modelling agencies 10) Being a professional model FOLLOW ME aka Talking Orangutans Podcast INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/talkingorangutans/ FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/talkingorangutanspodcast WATCH ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLWJDEk2aNGfqBYbc5InLyA LISTEN TO: STITCHER https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/anchor-podcasts/talking-orangutans-podcast APPLE PODCASTS https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-orangutans-podcast/id1460575770 SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/1ysF7a3nH1A4sb5Y3JCdp5 CAST BOX https://castbox.fm/channel/Talking-Orangutans-Podcast-id2133608?country=us ANCHOR FM https://anchor.fm/talkingorangutans BREAKER https://www.breaker.audio/talking-orangutans-podcast GOOGLE PODCASTS https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hYTFmMzI0L3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz OVERCAST https://overcast.fm/itunes1460575770/talking-orangutans-podcast POCKET CASTS https://pca.st/A4J9 RADIO REPUBLIC https://radiopublic.com/talking-orangutans-podcast-6V5BnM

Denis was a guest speaker at Freddie's Centenary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIXDuxOI7vI). As a doctor and surgeon, it was surprising for me to hear Denis talk a lot about spirituality. I always thought doctors would be more concerned with biology and the physical dimension. Freddie introduced us and Denis invited me for a tour of the Chris Barnard Hospital (https://www.netcarehospitals.co.za/Hospital/Netcare_Christiaan_Barnard_Memorial_Hospital) which blew me away as he showed me the facilities, the people and thoughts behind some of the building and departments as well a presentation slideshow of his work. Our conversation centers around the following topics: 1) How South Africa is trying to establish the best trauma system for all. 2) South Africa state of violence 3) Accidents in life and their consequences for the victims 4) How bad accidents can bring a change in the view on life in patients 5) How life can bring amazing gifts if we don't resist what is happening to us 6) Meditation practice and the benefits for a good life 7) The changes in the world today 8) How today we are in the best and the worst of times 9) Living consciously FOLLOW ME aka Talking Orangutans Podcast INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/talkingorangutans/ FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/talkingorangutanspodcast WATCH ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLWJDEk2aNGfqBYbc5InLyA LISTEN TO: STITCHER https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/anchor-podcasts/talking-orangutans-podcast APPLE PODCASTS https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-orangutans-podcast/id1460575770 SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/1ysF7a3nH1A4sb5Y3JCdp5 CAST BOX https://castbox.fm/channel/Talking-Orangutans-Podcast-id2133608?country=us ANCHOR FM https://anchor.fm/talkingorangutans BREAKER https://www.breaker.audio/talking-orangutans-podcast GOOGLE PODCASTS https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hYTFmMzI0L3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz OVERCAST https://overcast.fm/itunes1460575770/talking-orangutans-podcast POCKET CASTS https://pca.st/A4J9 RADIO REPUBLIC https://radiopublic.com/talking-orangutans-podcast-6V5BnM

Talking Orangutans Podcast (T.O.P) Episode #32 with Mik Mik is the owner, head teacher and catalyst behind Son Surf: http://www.surfschools.co.za/ https://www.instagram.com/sonsurfstrand/ Strand, Cape Town, South Africa +27 (0)83 232 4822 school@sonsurf.co.za 194 Beach Road, Strand Son Surf is a surf school that provides lessons, board/ wetsuit rentals as well as board repairs. Son Surf as an added dimension of being a Christian based surf school. As I understand it, it is an added element that can be discussed or enjoyed if that was your desire. Otherwise, surfs up!! I met Mik through my wife whom I bought 5 surf lessons as a Christmas gift 3 or 4 years ago. If it were not for Mik and the way he does his classes, I am not sure my wife would be a 'surfer' right now. He somehow managed to provide a learning environment which 1) got my wife to stand on her board and surf on day one 2) wanted her to do it again 3) pushed her to go outside her comfort zone 4) feel comfortable where she was operating and 5) made a surfer out of her. In the process she has gained a women's group of surfer that attempts to paddle out together weekly. The vibe I get is a school with no ego, a desire to have a positive influence on others be it through a break from life through being in the waves, or a safe space for people with a spiritual desire. This conversation was to meet the guy who helped do the above mentioned and see who he is and what makes him tick. Also, I hope that this exposure will lead to others finding the courage to try and do something like surfing which like Mik says - EVERYONE STANDS ON THE FIRST DAY!!!!

Talking Orangutans Podcast #30 with Kristo whom is a South African who has become a Swedish resident after marrying a Swedish lady during is overseas travels. Like most young kids finishing school in the 90's and 2000's, Kristo signed up for the UK's 2-year working holiday and started his life after school with getting away from South Africa. In the process he liked it so much he has been living there for over 12 years - periodically coming home for visits. We share a similar story: Both matriculated in the early 2000s, both disenfranchised with being a South African especially an Afrikaner, both from religious and conservative backgrounds, both in private boys schools, both holding IDs or passports to the EU, both having a foreign wife, both living in a foreign country, both learning a foreign language, both having a family member dying from cancer, and both having a huge like for podcasts like the Joe Rogan Experience. When I noticed the similarities, I had to ask him for a chat. Here it is!!! INTERVIEW FRAMEWORK: 1) What made you leave RSA for the first time? 2) What made you decide on becoming a foreign national in another country rather than returning to RSA? 3) Experiencing new parts of the world, what did you enjoy initially and what do you enjoy still? 4) What is your South African take on living in Sweden? 5) What is your take as a South African living in Sweden on South Africa? 6) What are the pros and cons of marrying a foreigner? 7) How challenging is it being a dad in today's society vs 30 years ago like our parents? 8) How difficult is it being in another country and finding out a loved one has a terminal illness? How did you approach it? 9) What podcasts do you like? 10) What goals do you have for 2020?

I have many opinions, thoughts and feelings that are based on pure speculation. Douglas is a close friend of mine whom is far more experienced, educated and up to date with South Africa's current political and economic climate. I asked him to come educate me on where we, South Africa, are at the moment economically. I thought this would be a 25 minute discussion and then 25 minutes on politics. Oh no. It was 100% economics. Luckily, he has a vast amount of knowledge and understanding that is presented very nicely which explains it superbly :) Douglas is a retired accountant and currently resides 20 meters from the ocean!

Podcast #8 with Freddie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7po5... https://freddie.org.za/ https://freddie.org.za/mmitf/ ABOUT FREDDIE I am a professional Addictions Counsellor, as well as a Specialist Wellness Counsellor, registered with the Board of Addiction Counsellors (M0001232) and the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (registration number HC18/208). I was born, bred and educated in Johannesburg. I did a BA Social Sciences, majoring in Psychology and Sociology, at the then Rand Afrikaans University (now University of Johannesburg) and followed that up with an Honours in Sociology, specialising in Family Sociology, Group Dynamics and Industrial Sociology. I did my counselling qualification through UNISA. My special interests are addiction and addictive behaviour in all its forms and manifestations (from alcohol and drugs to food, sex, love and whatever form addiction can take), self-esteem realisation, past and present trauma, anger management, stress and anxiety. I have a special affinity for twelve step coaching and support to loved ones of addicts. I strongly believe that the power of talking is under-appreciated and not significantly utilised. All of us go through challenging and difficult times in our lives, but we can grow beyond and because of that. By talking to the right person and accepting their guidance and support, you can develop yourself into the best YOU that you want to be.

One of my old school friends is Seth. Seth studied sport science in Stellenbosch. He got a bursary to study chiropractic in America. During his courses he met Katally. They got married. They graduated together at the same university in chiropractic. They started their own institute called Ideal Posture and Spine https://postureandspine.com/ in Charleston, SC. Seth invited me over to fix my back and we decided to shoot a documentary on the process with Katally. Like with everything in life, no problem is without many parts, facets and moving pieces. A major part of my recovery is nutrition and supplements. This is a chat on how to implement this in your life to become more healthy. WATCH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W72be3-Eb6A DR. KATALLY STRAUSS Chiropractor More About Dr Katally Dr. Katally, originally from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, is the first chiropractor in her family. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Molecular Biology and Microbiology. She continued her education at Life University receiving her Doctorate in Chiropractic and has since earned an Advanced certification in Chiropractic Biophysics, the most advanced spinal health care system in the world. After a transformation experience under Corrective Chiropractic care, she decided to dedicate her life to helping others. As a sufferer from chronic migraines, stress, anxiety, and depression, traditional medicine failed to help her. Dr. Katally personally witnessed the healing power within herself through Chiropractic Care and lifestyle intervention. Dr. Katally’s discovery of Chiropractic healing saved her life and for this reason, she knew there was no other profession she would rather be in.

Dr Seth and I were driving home. We stopped at a pedestrian crossing for this guy to cross with his dog. Dr Seth knew him and told me he used to be in the military. I immediately asked him if he thinks Chris might be keen on doing a podcast. He said maybe. I went knocking on Chris' door a hour later - which was 4 doors down in the same apartment complex we stayed. I straight up told him: I am friend with Seth. I have my own podcast channel. I find many things interesting but especially the military. Would you be interested in coming to have a talk.' Two days later we sat down and did this podcast. APOLOGIES: Due to travelling a lot it seems that by equipment took a bit of strain. Please excuse the poor quality of audio. WATCH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXOA6qo5GV4

My medical treatment in USA was done by Ideal Posture and Spine https://postureandspine.com/. Carolyn is a Wellness Coach at the institute. She has this amazing enthusiasm for people and health. She has a great heart and real warm energy. Dr Katally told me that while I am in Charleston, SC, I should try and talk to Carolyn about how she got into being healthy. This is my chat with her which I thoroughly enjoyed and were it not for our lunch break being over - would have continued for much, much longer. WATCH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiDYLlxYP0o More About Carolyn Carolyn became intrigued with the connection between food and health while living in Hong Kong with her family in 2008. After life changing experiences for her family, Carolyn began to study this food connection when she returned to the United States in 2011. Her education includes an Integrative Health Coaching Certification from IIN, a Culinary Nutrition Expert Certificate from the Academy of Culinary Nutrition, Colin Campbell Foundation Plant Based Nutrition Certification and a Health Minister Certification from Hallelujah Acres. Carolyn is also a Registered Holy Yoga Instructor. Carolyn works closely with the doctors to teach patients about lifestyle and food choices to move toward the best outcome for their health journey.

This podcast has an interesting story. I am in America for my chiropractic treatment. One aspect of the treatment was to go for yoga. I attended a class - which was my first ever - and I got very emotional towards the end and right after. It blew me away. I was really perplexed but pleasantly surprised. Jossalyn was the instructor. She was this very nice lady that guided the class in a way which obviously helped me to become in touch with I don't know what. Part of the process of becoming healthy for me is to implement yoga, stretches and becoming quiet. I thought with my fellow documentarian Dr Katally that it would be great to interview Jossalyn. Weird twist, turns out our spiritual yoga instructor does digital marketing for a republican politician!!!! This is a loose conversation between me, Jossalyn, Dr Katally Sanchez (see #27) and Dr Seth Strauss (see #4) about who she is, yoga, politics, marketing, woman's rights and anything that came up as would during a relaxing conversation.

Podcast #22 Eduard Swanepoel: Politcal Science [English] Edward is doing his Master's thesis on South African politics regarding land appropriation at Stellenbosch University, South Africa at he moment. He resides outside London, UK where he works as a researcher for the British Labour Party. How I came across him? A friend of mine said his cousin is staying with him. I asked him what his cousin is up to and he responded by saying Political Science. I instantly though of having him on the podcast. Turns out, we know many mutual people and went to the same university and classes - at the same time!!! Political Science for me is one of those subject which few people did at university. I never had much use for it. I did 3 years of it. Hearing of someone whom not only did it - is doing it - but likes it, I wanted to get their opinion on it. I also feel people with a background in educational politics tends to be able to having more rational, in-depth and mutual debates and discussions about one of the taboo topics namely politics. I had a great time talking to Eduard and love his outlook on many things. I hope you enjoy! Here are the questions I asked Eduard: 1) What does your job in the UK entail for the Labour Party? 2) What is political science and is it really a science? 3) What use does businesses, governments, institutions and people have for political science? 4) What does BREXIT mean? What are pros & cons? What is your personal take on it? How did it get decided? Which institutions are involved i.e. the European Union? 5) Did your university degree help prepare you for doing your job? 6) What aspect of political science intersts you the most? 7) Which political system do you like the most and why? 8) Which ideology do you like the most and why? 9) Which country implements democracy the best? 10) What is your opinion on the current South African political climate? What is your opinion on the EFF, ANC and DA? How can individuals get involved with politics namely civil society?

#20 Leslie - Dog Expert/ German Shepherds [English] Leslie and I stay on the same farm in Stellenbosch. She has been my go-to person for any dog related issues over the last 4 years. Like most humble people, she happily refers me to other people in case I ask her something she does not feel 100% sure about - which is very rarely. She helped me see dogs more as members of your family as opposed to a 'pet' i.e. creature around your house. She grew up with German Shepherds which makes her an expert in my opinion. This podcast is dedicated to educating dog owners upon the basics needed to understand, raise and enjoy your dog.

He undertook a journey to Namibia by himself which I have always had much appreciation for. He does a lot of semi extreme activities by himself which is very different from normal people.

EPISODE #14 with ERIC PALMER www.instagram.com/afreakineric I met Eric in High School @ Paul Roos Gimnasium. I know of him due to my younger brother Johan being into skating and also the fact that everyone in Stellies know each other. Eric was known to me as a rollerblader and early on I knew of his photography. In adulthood about 15 years after school I got reacquainted with Eric due to a mutual friend called Koos - whom introduced met to the world of downhill mountain biking, jumps, concussions and broken bones :) By this time, Eric got very successful in Action Sports photography. He not only took photos of riders we watched in DVDs, YouTube and videos; he hanged out with them and knew their personalities.

Welcome everyone. I give a quick rundown of what this podcast is about, who I am, and why I started this. In short, due to too many concussions, I can't do a lot of sport. Combine that with spinal injuries, I am quite limited. Podcasts helped me greatly to improve myself and get a different perspective on life and many things. It is not always possible to meet people with the stories you need to hear. But podcasts make it possible. I wanted to join this as I am in an unique position where I meet a lot of interesting and inspiring people.
