Good Things with Brent Lindeque 📺

In this episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down for a meaningful conversation about purpose, people and real impact. I chat to Kapish Singh, Corporate Social Investment Manager at the PPS Foundation, about what it truly means to invest in people and why purpose-led corporate social investment matters now more than ever. The conversation explores how kindness, intention and long-term thinking can create change that lasts... especially in South Africa. The PPS Foundation, established in 2016, focuses on advancing quality education, gender equality, decent employment, economic growth and innovation, aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. A strong emphasis is placed on expanding access to STEM education, empowering young people and supporting the sustainable development of South African communities. This episode is a reminder that when we invest in potential, we shape a stronger future, together. Learn more about the PPS Foundation or get involved here: https://ppsfoundation.pps.co.za.

Some people renovate houses. Steve Baron somehow renovates your day. His YouTube channel Flipping Johannesburg has become one of my absolute favourites, and this week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I get to chat to the man behind it all. Steve left his career as a chartered accountant in 2022 to pursue something more creative and fulfilling: flipping houses. What began as a lockdown passion project has grown into a channel South Africans can’t stop watching. “During lockdown I decided to open up to my more creative side… I put together a proper portfolio and made short videos offering advice and tips,” he says. Since then, his videos have exploded... one has passed 3 million views, thanks to a mix of real-life renovation, dry humour, chaos and brilliant design. It’s Grand Designs with a proudly Joburg twist. In this episode, Steve and I chat about where it all started, how he manages projects and the unexpected side of YouTube fame: being recognised in public. He also shares some renovation tips and, completely unrelated, we discover what “clapping” and “clocking it” mean to Gen Z. More than DIY, Steve has built a community of dreamers, doers and creators. His story is a reminder that starting something new can change far more than just a home... it can change your whole life. A truly uplifting chat. Enjoy!

A mother’s love. A son’s courage. A community that refused to look away. In this week’s Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I sit down with Linna Ndlovu, the founder of Rising Stars ECD Centre, a small but mighty early childhood development centre built from pure heart. Linna’s story began long before the classrooms and crayons. It began with her son, Bryan, whose battle with Chronic Lung Disease once brought South Africans together during Stage 6 load shedding. His journey inspired the very foundation of Rising Stars, a space where mothers can finish school, return to work and know their babies are deeply cared for.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we dive into something genuinely exciting: Discovery has become the first health insurer in the world to reward you for sleep. Yes… sleep! And I get to unpack all of it with Robert Attwell, CEO of Discovery Insure. A couple of weeks ago, I joined the Discovery team at their media launch, where they announced their brand-new sleep benefit (going live in February 2026) and handed us the Oura Ring... making us the very first South Africans to try it. I’ve been wearing mine for a month now and I’m obsessed. Sure, my watch tracks a lot but the ring goes deeper: sleep cycles, readiness, temperature, recovery and all our sleeping habits. In this episode, Robert and I talk about: ✨ How the Oura Ring fits into Discovery’s ecosystem ✨ What the upcoming sleep benefits actually mean for South Africans ✨ Why good rest is directly linked to safer driving ✨ And how small lifestyle shifts can create massive positive change If you’re curious about sleep tech, Oura, Discovery, or how to turn rest into rewards… this episode is for you.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we shine a light on the incredible work of The Pitbull Sanctuary South Africa, a haven for dogs who have survived unthinkable abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Run by animal rescuer and photographer Chantelle Van Zyl, the sanctuary is home to 37 Pit Bulls (and one tiny Yorkie) who are learning to trust, heal and start over. In this candid conversation, Chantelle opens up about the heartbreaking realities these dogs arrive with… and the extraordinary transformations that follow. It’s raw, emotional and deeply inspiring... a powerful reminder of what compassion can achieve.
