Limitless Conversations with Melisha Reddy | A GBV Story 'It was just once' — Gender-based violence is a pervasive issue in South Africa. Today on the show, we bring you a real story - not about a victim, but about a survivor of Gender-Based Violence (domestic abuse). Our Guest Melisha takes us through her brave journey of how she was able to turn her pain into power. In this chat, we cover Melisha's story and dabble into the nuanced female experiences that are often not spoken about - we all know about physical abuse, the scars are often there to see, but about 'emotional abuse'. We learn that abuse is a spectrum and this conversation could not be any more timely as it coincides with the global campaign - 'The 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children Campaign', a United Nations campaign which takes place annually from 25 November (International Day of No Violence against Women) to 10 December. End Femicide. End violence against women and children. The Limitless Podcast is a fiercely independent vehicle that runs on the support of our incredible listeners - that's you!

Breaking up is hard to do — I just ended a 13 year relationship... with Facebook. Now, before you laugh (ok, you can laugh), this was a bigger deal for me than I'd like to admit. For over a decade I ran a social media business that relied heavily on the existence of Facebook - and its impact on companies and customers - to grow and thrive. Much of my reputation and self worth is wrapped up in the existence and success of that company, and so part of my reluctance to quit Facebook, apart from questions about its utility and the healthiness of using it, was the potential hypocrisy of quitting now. In fact, I found my own reluctance to pull the 'delete my account' trigger so surprising, comical and revealing, that I decided to record a catharsis of sorts which I've published on the One-Eyed Man podcast. This monologue style recording is a little out of character for me, so I'd appreciate your feedback and thoughts on the approach. And the topic, of course. I explore not only my decision to quit Facebook but the reasons I'm still so dependent on other social media.

In this episode I speak to Professor Vasti Roodt about a theory of justice (fairness) that might be the key to building a better world for everyone, regardless of their social standing or resources. Vasti is an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Stellenbosch, and the Head of the Unit for Social and Political Ethics in the Centre for Applied Ethics. She holds an MA and DPhil (Philosophy) from USB. Her research focuses on moral and political philosophy. In November last year I had the opportunity to attend a leadership retreat on the beautiful Boschendal wine estate hosted by Vasti and her colleagues. The retreat was aimed at introducing the fundamental tenets of the philosophical endeavour to business executives who wanted to take a more conscious, considered look at value creation in today's complex world. She presented a model for justice based on John Rawls' A Theory of Justice (1971) which I found deeply intriguing and challenging. It wasn't my first introduction to Rawls' work, but one of the more accessible explorations of his fascinating thought experiment and proposal for a more fair society. I really enjoyed the retreat and have stayed in touch with the faculty since. Key quote: 'What could ever be the justification for suggesting that one person deserves to be more free than another?' -- Prof Vasti Roodt A video introduction to John Rawls' Theory of Justice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-JQ17X6VNg Music : Mike Morse | Perfect Teamwork Engage with Mike https://mikestopforth.com/ Connect with Mike on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikestopforth/ Follow Mike on Twitter https://twitter.com/mikestopforth When you're ready to produce your own podcast, contact the podcast experts at

We discuss the story of his personal journey from professional burnout into therapy and the discovery of new purpose in helping young people navigate their digital decision-making with more intention and responsibility. We also discuss some practical tips for parents looking to improve their relationship with their teenagers, and specifically in regards to their online activity. Key quote: 'This profound well of experience that sits inside you will respond to all sorts of stimuli and make you behave in a certain way, and that can get you intro trouble. So you need to understand partly yourself, and partly the stimulus.' -- Dean McCoubrey The MySociaLife website https://www.mysocialife.com/ Dean McCoubrey on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanmccoubrey/ Engage with Mike https://mikestopforth.com/ Connect with Mike on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikestopforth/ Follow Mike on Twitter https://twitter.com/mikestopforth When you're ready to produce your own podcast, contact the podcast experts at

Can you tell from the title of this episode that I've been watching a LOT of Frozen 2 while on lock down? In this episode I talk to Andrew Blades, an uncertainty navigator and polymath, about how to lead in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world. Andrew is based out of Melbourne, Australia, and serves as the risk and and compliance manager in the state of Victoria's EPA (Environment Protection Authority). He started his professional career in the intelligence section of the Australian Air Force, focusing on planning the Force's response to ""low probability, high impact"" events, lectured in university, spent time in the private sector, and today holds four Master's degrees together with a range of certifications that match his substantial experience. Andrew has a truly remarkable intellect and his views on the current global COVID-19 crisis (both from a health and economic perspective) were insightful and helpful, particularly from a leadership perspective. Key quote: 'This (pandemic) is a systemic risk to all humans, and we're not used to thinking in terms of systemic risk - we're used to thinking in a much smaller level of risk ... I think there's a possibility ... that what we start to see out of this is people start think in a much broader (way)' -- Andrew Blades The Harvard Business Review article on Dave Snowden's Cynefin framework for strategic decision making in uncertainty and complexity https://hbr.org/2007/11/a-leaders-framework-for-decision-making Margaret Heffernan's new book, 'Uncharted' https://www.mheffernan.com/#modal-close Music : Mike Morse | Perfect Teamwork Engage with Mike https://mikestopforth.com/ Connect with Mike on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikestopforth/ Follow Mike on Twitter https://twitter.com/mikestopforth When you're ready to produce your own podcast, contact the podcast experts at

Rapelang is the founder and chair at Rekindle Learning, a tech entrepreneur, and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum. We discuss in detail her start-up journey (fresh out of university), her experience of consulting to corporate clients on innovation and disruption, and the book she is currently working on. Key quote: 'The sting of trauma forces our minds to step out of the movie we have been living, to sit and observe for a while; it forces us to separate ourselves from what we thought was true and constant, what we perceived to be a part of our being, and question everything.'"" -- Rapelang Rabana.

Why do some companies thrive in a crisis, and others fail? Why does uncertainty bring the best out of some leaders, and leave others completely ineffective? In this episode of the One-Eyed Man I talk to global speaker, serial entrepreneur and all round smart dude Richard Mulholland about what you do (as a leader, especially in business) when you don't know what to do. How do we, and how should we, make decisions in the midst of a crisis, or very uncertain circumstances? We talk about the importance of values, of core beliefs and behaviours, and about how to cultivate these in organisations. We explore the question of whether values are discovered, or created. We debate about whether values should be aspirational or not. Please like, share and SUBSCRIBE! And if you're feeling very generous, perhaps rate the podcast on your local platform.

Episode two of our three-part series takes us further into Richard's first cancer diagnosis, using the metaphor of an Ironman triathlon. We hit our first transition, and embark on a grueling 180 km cycle together. Richard bares all as we discover what it feels like to be given 6 months to live, and what it takes to beat an invisible, apparently unbeatable enemy.

Imagine what it takes to run 42 km. A full marathon. Now, imagine doing so after cycling non-stop for 180 km. Now, imagine doing both after a 3.8 km swim. This is the journey every aspiring endurance triathlete must take to earn the coveted moniker of Ironman. Now, imagine doing all of that, in record time, with stage 4 brain cancer. In this episode, the first of three in a series with Richard Wright, a sought-after speaker, author, endurance athlete and three-time cancer survivor, we talk about what it takes to push the boundaries of our physical and mental capability to achieve apparently impossible feats, even when all the odds are against us. We talk about this not just in terms of Richard's story, or the decisions we must make every day to progress and achieve, but also critically in terms of the current state of the world - a world oppressed by the fear and uncertainty of a global COVID-19 pandemic.
