And we're back! This is the One-Eyed Man, my name is Mike Stopforth, and today we're jumping head first into the second half of our #originalbytradition series brought to you by the Glenlivet. We took a short pause to extract and share some highlights from the first five episodes, and of course to give away some premium Glenlivet prizes, so if you missed that, please follow me on Twitter, LinkedIn or Instagram – you'll be the first to hear about future updates and giveaways. I'm really excited about this show. It's hard to think of a better example of entrepreneurs challenging traditional industries with original solutions than my two guests, Sam and Dom Moleta of the Refillery, an eco-friendly, plastic-free grocery store. Both their online and real world offerings have grown significantly over the last few years (which is saying something in itself), in no small part due to a really beautiful brand and product design and a crop of loyal, passionate customers. The secret behind their success will be obvious when you hear them talk about this project. I was deeply inspired by their vision, intention and work ethic. I'm sure you will be, too. If you'd like to watch the conversation, catch it on my YouTube channel. Off we go. Mike Stopforth on YouTube · Connect with Dom · Connect with Sam · The Glenlivet Website

In this episode, Alex MacPhail  speaks to Mike Stopforth  about his time in the Pipe Band and competing at the Pipe Band World Championships in Scotland. This later evolved into a rock band and his life on stage, teaching, entertaining, and training began in his early 20s. Mike shares his horrifying story about when he was out skateboarding with his friends. He saw a light aircraft crash into his friend's vehicle right before his eyes, and while he was frozen with panic another friend rushed in and started pulling people out of the wreckage. Alex and Mike talk about this startling effect, how it's relevant in aviation and how pilots are trained to manage this, and how it relates to real life and whether this could be a developed skill.  Mike Stopforth is also a successful digital pioneer, an entrepreneur, start-up investor, and the founder and director of the consulting firm Beyond Binary.

Welcome to Season 2 of Making SMEs Matter, the top podcast for business owners in SA! Today I chat to Mike Stopforth, the founder of social media powerhouse, Cerebra. Mike shares valuable lessons learned along the way, as well as advice for how business owners can crush social in 2019. Enjoy!

Communication. Since the advent of social media the way that we communicate has fundamentally changed both in society and in the context of business. When Mike Stopforth co-founded Cerebra communications, he challenged what communications could represent for brands across Africa. Over the course of 14 years, Cerebra became an award-winning social media communications agency that were the first to re-imagine what a social enterprise could be. This caught the attention of WPP, one of the world’s largest advertising conglomerates who acquired Cerebra for an untold sum. In this episode, Mike and I explore how social media communications has changed the face of business, how entrepreneurs can scale their businesses through strategic partnerships and what he learnt in the process of selling Cerebra to WPP.

So today I want to tee up this episode of the show by talking to you about something called Stopforths Law. Stopforths law is named after Mike Stopforth, the CEO of Cerebra communications. When social media took off around the world Mike put his hand up in South Africa as the countries first social media expert and aggressively grew his personal brand in the social media space. As a result, and even to this day, he is still regarded as one of Africa’s leading social media experts. And this story, lead to the creation of Stopforth’s Law – meaning he who puts his hand up first as the expert in something will automatically be accredited as the expert. My guest today, is none other than Kat Woolf, who off the back of building one of the countries largest commercial property brokerages has just put her hand up as South Africa’s commercial property expert – and through her new show called the Property Woolf, is using the power of podcasting to grow her personal brand and ultimately her own business. This is a journey into the power personal branding where you’ll learn how to apply Stopforths law in your own business and industry.
