Good Things with Brent Lindeque 📺

There is a growing sense that everyone is carrying more than they were ever designed to. More pressure. More expectations. More noise. More demands. And yet, despite working harder, resting when we can, and trying every productivity hack under the sun, many people still find themselves running on empty.

That is exactly what we unpack on this week's episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, where I sit down with Jaxheartist (Jacqueline Allschwang), a Capacity Architect, coach, and the co-founder of the Soul Healing Community, for a fascinating conversation about something many of us have never stopped to consider: our capacity.

Jax's story is one of rebuilding. After losing a thriving business, experiencing burnout, and finding herself facing what she describes as a complete collapse of her internal systems, she set out to understand why so many high-performing people find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from their own lives. What followed was years of research, learning, and creating practical frameworks to help others move from depletion to wholeness.

"Most people assume exhaustion is a willpower problem. It isn't," says Jax. "When the nervous system is chronically dysregulated, cognitive clarity drops, emotional resilience erodes, and the ability to show up fully in work, relationships, and life disappears."

During the conversation, we explore what Jax calls a "global capacity crisis", with many people operating in a constant state of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn while trying to navigate an increasingly demanding world.

Content creation has become one of the most exciting opportunities of our time, opening doors for people to tell their stories, build communities and even create careers from their passions. But while the creator economy has exploded across the globe, access to the tools and training needed to succeed has not always been equal.

That's exactly where this week's guest on Good Things with Brent Lindeque is making a difference.

Greg Sheppard, the Founder and CEO of View4All and Studio4, a Johannesburg-based creative entrepreneur working to change how South Africans create, share, and monetise content, joins us to chat about the good work he is doing.

With more than two decades of experience in the advertising industry, Greg has worked with some of the world's biggest brands, including Heineken, BMW, Red Bull and MTN. But it was his decision to step beyond traditional advertising that led to the creation of View4All.tv, Africa's first truly free, data-free content platform delivered through Wi-Fi in high-traffic public spaces.

The conversation dives into the rapidly growing creator economy, the opportunities it presents for South Africans and the barriers that still exist for many aspiring creators. Greg shares how View4All is helping to bridge that gap by making content more accessible, while Studio4 is identifying and training young creators from previously disadvantaged communities, equipping them with the skills needed to build sustainable futures through digital storytelling and video content.

More than just a discussion about technology or media, this episode explores what becomes possible when creativity and opportunity come together. It's a conversation about empowering people, unlocking talent and ensuring that the next generation of South African creators has a chance to be seen, heard and rewarded for their work.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we chat to Caroline Malatji, founder of Disability Accessible Accommodation and Travel, or DAATS, and a member of the QuadPara Association of South Africa.

Caroline joins the podcast to discuss a message that could save lives: buckle up, put your phone away while driving, and make safer choices on our roads. She also shares her inspiring personal journey as a woman living with a disability who has built a successful organisation helping wheelchair users access transport, medical supplies and support services across South Africa.

Through her work, Caroline is helping create greater independence and opportunity for people living with disabilities, while proving that challenges do not have to define what is possible.

South Africa cheered on the Alexforbes Angel Wings crew ever since they set sail in the gruelling Cape2Rio Yacht Race… and now skipper Sibusiso “Sibu” Sizatu is sharing the incredible story behind the historic victory on this week’s “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”.

The team captured hearts across the country after overcoming a major setback in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, when their boom snapped during the crossing. Instead of giving up, the young South African crew adapted, stayed calm and continued racing thousands of kilometres without one of the yacht’s most important parts.

And somehow… they still won the Cape2Rio on handicap.

The crew, made up of young sailors from communities including Masiphumelele, Khayelitsha, Grassy Park and Athlone, has become a symbol of courage, teamwork and what’s possible when talent meets opportunity.

Speaking on the podcast, Sibu shares what really happened out there on the ocean, the pressure of leading the race, and why this victory means so much more than sailing.

You can catch the full conversation now on “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”.

South African Grammy-winning musician Wouter Kellerman is this week’s guest on “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”… and his story is absolutely fascinating (and inspiring).

Before becoming a globally celebrated flautist with three Grammy Awards to his name, Wouter actually spent decades working as an electrical engineer and running a successful software company. But at 44, he made the life-changing decision to leave the “safe” career behind and pursue his passion for music full-time.

What makes the story even more incredible is that one night, while sitting around the dinner table with his children, Wouter told them his dream was to win a Grammy.

People thought he was having a midlife crisis… but he went on to win three!!!!

In the podcast, Brent and Wouter chat about taking calculated risks, following your dreams, perseverance and believing in yourself, no matter your age.

And there’s also a very exciting exclusive… Wouter revealed that he is currently creating music for a brand-new “Liewe Heksie” movie, which honestly has the kid in all of us smiling.
