Africa Melane is joined by Thabile Nkunjana, a Senior Economist at The National Agricultural Marketing Council in Pretoria, to unpack the debate surrounding South Africa’s official unemployment rate, which sits at 32.9% for the first quarter of 2025. The conversation follows comments by Capitec CEO Gerrie Fourie, who claimed the true rate could be closer to 10% if informal and self-employed workers were properly counted.

In this special episode of Effortless Attraction, we're by the pool at Casa de Rosa in Andalusia, joined by the wonderful Colette Leeson — careers and interview coach, and proud sponsor of this podcast for the past year.Almost twelve months ago, Colette made the brave decision to leave the security of full-time employment and step into the world of self-employment. In today's conversation, she shares what inspired her to take that leap, how she managed the fears that came with it, and the insights she's gained one year on.This episode was recorded in our outdoor kitchen, so you may hear the soft rustle of palm trees and the breeze drifting through — a gentle reminder of the freedom that comes with following your true path. A heartfelt thank you to all our listeners — and an especially warm thank you to our paid subscribers. Your support adds real value to the work I do and is deeply appreciated.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I share when it makes sense to hire a professional accountant versus handling your taxes on your own, and why understanding your taxes is so important, especially during life changes like getting married, relocating, or experiencing major income shifts.   I dive into essential tax planning strategies for creative entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners. I also break down complex tax situations that often require expert guidance, and explore the pros and cons of using tax software versus working with a tax professional.   Also mentioned in this episode: 00:00 Understanding the Importance of Tax Planning 00:49 When to Hire an Accountant vs. DIY Taxes 05:20 Life Changes and Financial Shifts 11:13 The Value of Tax Planning 15:39 Complex Situations Requiring Professional Help 21:40 Strategic Decisions and Consulting an Accountant 26:28 Empowerment Through Tax Education   Takeaways Even a couple hours of an accountant's time can save you money. There is no tax education in this country, which complicates things. Basic education in taxes can empower you to handle them yourself. Big life changes are a good time to consult with an accountant. Tax planning can save you a lot of money and headache. Consult a professional before significant financial decisions. Tax returns typically do not include tax planning services. Year-end tax planning is crucial for maximizing savings. Understanding your taxes is important for financial literacy. Using software like TurboTax can be effective if you know the rules.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

Erica discusses the crucial transition for small business owners from being self-employed solo operators to true business owners who delegate tasks and build systems. She emphasizes that being self-employed means the business relies entirely on the owner's labor, leading to burnout and limits on growth, typically stalling around $100,000 in revenue. She advocates for hiring staff, outsourcing functions like marketing and bookkeeping, and implementing efficient systems to create a sustainable and profitable business that can run without the owner being directly involved in the daily work. Krupin also shares personal anecdotes about the challenges of delegation, the importance of tracking key financial metrics, and strategies for managing one's time and life to support business growth.

In today's episode of the Sunlight Podcast, I'm sharing why it's so important to review your tax return—even after you've filed. We'll also chat about the power of taking a digital detox during the busy tax season to help you reset and recharge. I'll walk you through how to understand the key sections of your tax return, what tax estimates really mean, and how to reconcile what you owed with what you paid. Plus, I'm offering some simple, practical strategies for adjusting your future payments if your income changes—so you can feel more confident, prepared, and in control come tax time. Whether you're self-employed or just trying to make sense of your finances, this episode is here to support you! Also mentioned in today's episode:  00:00 Digital Detox: A Refreshing Break 02:02 Post-Tax Filing: Key Steps for Improvement 07:16 Understanding Your Tax Return: Key Insights 12:07 Adjusting for Future Taxes: Strategies for Success 15:43 Resources for Tax Management: Programs and Support   Takeaways Digital detox can improve mental clarity during tax season. Reviewing your tax return is crucial for financial planning. Understanding your tax return helps avoid future whammies. Taxes are retroactive; you only know your tax rate after the year ends. Your total tax owed is reconciled with what you've paid throughout the year. Aim to have your tax payments equal your total tax owed. Adjust your estimated taxes based on income fluctuations. Self-employed individuals must be proactive with tax payments. Utilizing tax programs can simplify the filing process. Seek help from tax education programs for better understanding.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!  Every review makes a difference by telling Apple or Spotify to show the Sunlight podcast to new audiences.   Links: Link to pre-order my book, Taxes for Humans: Simplify Your Taxes and Change the World When You're Self-Employed.

In this solo episode of Art & Cocktails, I'm (Ekaterina Popova) celebrating my nine-year self-employment anniversary—marking the moment I walked out of my corporate job and committed to building a life as a full-time artist and creative entrepreneur. This conversation blends personal storytelling with practical strategies for artists who are just starting out, those in the thick of building, and anyone dreaming of making their creative practice sustainable.

You'll hear what helped me sell my first artworks, grow beyond friends and family, and start showing up professionally long before I felt “ready.” Topics include: How I made my first sales with a small audience What to post and how to talk about your work Why local shows and early wins deserve celebration How I began getting noticed by curators and galleries What I did to prepare for opportunities before they happened Why I built Create! Magazine to support other artists like me The shift from doing everything to scaling through systems Why you don't need to go viral to succeed How creative leadership changed my business and energy I also talk about growing Create U, embracing structure as a form of freedom, and what I've learned about building a business that allows for rest, alignment, and long-term joy—not just hustle.

This week, Edward Chechique joins me to discuss rethinking design careers, ditching outdated career advice, and learning how to survive (and thrive) in 2025's chaotic job market. We talk layoffs, AI, content creation, side hustles, and redefining what it means to be a UX pro today.What if your job title doesn't define your career? What if your "career" wasn't the point at all?We were told that if we worked hard, got good at UX, and built a solid portfolio, we'd be fine. But in 2025, none of that seems to be working. In this episode, I sit down with Edward Chechique to talk about what happens when the traditional path to career success just… stops working.Edward has been laid off, ghosted, and judged by hiring managers who didn't get it. So he stopped waiting. He built his own path—from writing and content creation to launching products and teaching others how to use AI to work smarter. This isn't a fairytale story about becoming a millionaire. It's about regaining your agency and deciding what you want from your career.If you're tired of trying to fit into boxes that never seemed to fit quite right, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting for the industry to come save you—and start building a version of success that actually works for you.Topics:• 02:46 - Redefining Careers in Design• 03:17 - Interview with Edward Chechique• 04:59 - Edward's Journey in Design• 09:10 - Navigating the Job Market• 13:32 - Adapting and Diversifying Skills• 16:24 - Entrepreneurial Mindset and Self-Employment• 27:10 - Challenges and Realities of Self-Employment• 30:38 - Entrepreneurial Upbringing vs. Traditional Employment• 31:55 - Navigating Financial Uncertainty• 33:33 - Saving Strategies and Lifestyle Choices• 38:49 - Cultural Shifts and Economic Impact• 41:42 - Closing ThoughtsHelpful Links:• Connect with Edward on LinkedIn• Watch Edward on YouTube• Follow Edward on Medium---Thanks for listening!

This time of year I get a lot of financial questions from teachers. We've just gotten through the holiday spending spree, new year's might have inspired some financial goal-setting, and then there's the looming tax deadline in April, so there's a lot to think about. Sometimes the questions I get are really specific to an individual, but lately a bunch of clients and listeners have said “hey, you talk about reviewing financials on a regular basis as a way of getting more familiar with my financial picture, but what exactly should I be reviewing?” And they're totally right, I haven't been very specific here. So today I'm going to do that. I'm going to show you how to find some key numbers on your tax return that can give you powerful insights into your business and personal finances.

When you're running your own business in the trades you don't get certain benefits that are considered normal to everyone else. One of those being paid bank holidays!

We were joined by friends of the show Kevin and Freya to hear about their bank holiday plans, whether they ever fully switch off and how their clients react to them taking off the holidays. Plus there's also the pub lunch quiz and you'll hear the very best messages we received.

There are certain things that make solo, self-employed private practice a great business model for quality of life. However, I also often see practitioners unconsiously setting themselves up to fail by denying themselves the ability to get the full perks of being their own boss.  I talk about the main perks, and how we often sabotage our ability to enjoy them.  Want more resources for healing arts providers?

There is always a lot of excitement and chatter around new business models- running a studio or center, creating an online course, or even developing your own modality and teacher training.  And I am certainly as attracted to shiny objects as much as anyone (in fact, probably much, much more...) But there truly is no business model that I know of that is as easy to start, maintain, and earn a good living at- while maintaining a really high quality of life- as a solo self-employed private practice.  Want more resources for healing arts providers?

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast, hosts Marshall and Nick delve into the intricacies of detailing, focusing on the concepts of high spots and low spots in vehicle care. They discuss practical solutions for addressing these issues, particularly in relation to ceramic coatings and leather care. The conversation also touches on the future of Hyper Clean, including potential training and business insights for detailers. Throughout the episode, the hosts share personal anecdotes and industry experiences, providing valuable insights for both novice and experienced detailers. In this conversation, Nick and Marshall discuss the journey of entrepreneurship, emphasizing the importance of commitment, sacrifice, and the distinction between being self-employed and owning a business. They highlight the significance of effective communication, especially in service-based industries, and the evolving landscape of marketing and social media. The discussion also touches on leadership, accountability, and the future direction of HyperClean and their podcast, focusing on the need for time management and strategic planning. Takeaways High spots occur when coating is left behind and not properly removed. Low spots can often be addressed with steam or air injection techniques. Regular conditioning of leather can help prevent indentations from forming. The removal of high spots requires specific techniques depending on the coating used. Understanding the difference between being a detailer and a business owner is crucial for success. High spots can be more challenging to remove with certain coatings like Sparta. Detailing is as much about skill as it is about business acumen. The podcast serves as a resource for both detailing techniques and business strategies. Future training opportunities may arise based on consumer demand. Building a successful detailing business requires resilience and a proactive mindset. Everybody has a story of hardship. Showing up consistently is crucial for success. Sacrifices are often necessary for long-term goals. Choosing the right partner in life can impact your business. Self-employment is not the same as owning a business. Effective communication is key to understanding customer needs. Social media requires investment and strategy to be effective. Leadership involves taking responsibility for both successes and failures. Time is the most valuable asset for business owners. Future growth requires adapting and evolving strategies.

What to listen for:In today's episode of K9 Detection Collaborative, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing discuss the keys to cleaning up your dog's behavior chain to help them stay on track and avoid distractions in the field.When it comes to reinforcing behavior, it's just as important to get clear on when not to train particular habits. Their rule of thumb? Avoid reinforcing tactics during moments of frustration in your dog. It's important to be systematic when training for search & rescue scenarios, setting clear boundaries and expectations for your dog, all while respecting their autonomy so that they can make snap decisions with confidence in high-stakes situations.With Deb Jones's Focus Unified Field Theory as their guide, the Dames of Detection navigate the complexities of canine focus in four areas—external, self, trainer, and task focuses. Understanding these focus types is crucial for managing distractions and maintaining a dog's attention during challenging search tasks.They dive into strategies that build a strong reinforcement system, allowing dogs to handle complex searches without becoming overwhelmed. They also explain why it's crucial to actively train blank areas with the intention of striking a balance between engagement and overwhelm for both handler and dog.Finally, Robin, Stacy, and Crystal define “self-employing” actions, and why it's a good idea to steer clear from reinforcing such behaviors, as well as the keys to nurturing understanding when building on and optimizing your dog's behavior chain.Key Topics:Why You Shouldn't Try Reinforcing Behaviors During Moments of Frustration (00:00)Systematic Searching and Maintaining Your Dog's Autonomy (05:51)When and When Not to Praise Your Dog (10:53)Four Types of Focus (17:52)The Importance of Actively Training Blank Areas (25:50)“Don't Reinforce Them For Self-Employing” (29:30)Building the Desire to do the Job Right (35:13)Building Understanding (41:03)Dames of Detection Takeaways (50:48)Resources:Deb Jones and the F.O.C.U.S Dog Training System: https://k9infocus.com/shiny-new-thoughts-on-focus/ | https://k9infocus.com/Join Robin for her winter webinar series!FENZI WebinarsFENZI CampWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.
