In this episode of Storytime, Joshua sits down with rising international actor Awdo Awdo, one of the newest faces breaking into the global film and television scene.

Awdo is best known for his upcoming role as Mr. 1 (Daz Bonez) in One Piece — one of the world’s biggest Netflix franchises. Despite being early in his career, he has already landed major opportunities, including working on the upcoming film Subversion alongside Hollywood A-listers.

The conversation explores his journey into acting, transitioning from working behind the scenes in production to stepping in front of the camera, and what it takes to break into high-level international projects. Awdo also shares insight into filming in Cape Town, preparing for physically demanding roles, and how being cast in a global series like One Piece is shaping his future in the industry.

In this episode of Storytime, Joshua sits down with viral South African TikTok sensation Ziané Saayman, better known across the country as the Braaibroodtjie Girl.

After exploding online through her unmistakable humour, bold personality, and massively viral food-themed content, Ziané has built a huge digital audience — with her TikTok presence growing rapidly through viral clips and her Instagram becoming one of the most talked-about young creator profiles in the Afrikaans content space. Her breakout single Die Braaibroodjie Reël helped push her into national conversation, becoming one of South Africa’s most recognisable viral music moments.

Joshua and Ziané unpack what it actually feels like when viral fame arrives overnight — the love, the criticism, the online hate, and why South African social media can be both powerful and brutal at the same time.

They also discuss her move into music, the strategy behind building content that people cannot stop sharing, and how understanding audience behaviour has helped her repeatedly trigger the algorithm.

The conversation also explores her latest single releases, her growing ambitions in entertainment, and how she sees herself evolving beyond viral moments into a long-term brand.

To close the episode, Joshua and Ziané dive into a live taste test with Knox Hydrate, adding a fun finish to a conversation built around virality, identity, and modern South African internet culture.

In this episode of Storytime, Joshua sits down with entrepreneur and extreme athlete Kyle Evans — the founder of the Business Mindset Movement.

Kyle shares how he built a rapidly growing community focused on discipline, resilience, and high performance, helping individuals sharpen their mindset across business, fitness, and life.

He shares his experience racing 230km through the Artic, 250km treadmill run, Tankwa Desert Crossing and his next up and coming race, 230km through the Amazon.

The conversation dives into Kyle’s entrepreneurial journey, the philosophy behind Mindset Movement, and how he uses physical adversity as a tool for mental growth.

Kyle breaks down some of his extreme physical feats, endurance challenges, and training principles — all designed to push the limits of both body and mind.

Early winter morning. The sun hasn't even fully come up yet. You're awake and on your way to a frozen lake outside Toronto, coffee in hand and ready to chainsaw through metres of ice. You arrive to everyone doing breath work, trying to maintain any normal level of body warmth. Chainsaws stop, everyone dresses down, and hops into freezing temperature waters while playing chess, having conversations, listen to the sounds of moving ice. These minutes pass slower than microwave minutes, potentially even slower than stair master minutes dare I say. You hop out the water to smiles, hugs and warm coffee all round. Life changing experiences and the many benefits, both mental and physical, that come with cold submersion. Sounds like Nick McNaughts game! 

From fun winter mornings cold submerging, to inviting friends and going to viral on CNN globally - now an extremely successful business changing the lives of many many people. 

We are happy to welcome Nick to the show to share his story, and why we should all start to consider cold submersion as a part of our lifestyle.

PART 1   This is a 20 minute look into a 1 hour conversation with Emmy Winning Elijah Allan Blitz. Elijah has made a massive impact on the world with his incredible creativity, ability to direct and create, and his heart for people. His project alongside Brie Larson amongst others, The Messy Truth, is the future of VR.   

Emmy winner AND Lumiere award winner Elijah Allan-Blitz is the first VR director for Time Magazine. Elijah has also directed VR experiences for Aloe Blacc, PBS, Laird Hamilton and HBO.  He has used VR and his love for the world and people around him, to visually provide people with the chance to understand and empathise with others.  It is an honour to get to call Elijah a friend, I admire him from a creative standpoint, as well as at a personal level. The world needs more people like Elijah. People that fight to make the world a better place. Thank you for your time and conversation brother.
