Wilko's Messages of Hope

Most people think success will fix their problems. Charlie Law proves the opposite. After a decade flying around the world doing high-pressure commodity deals, chasing money, status, admiration and ego, he hit a complete physical and psychological crash. Forced into a six-month burnout recovery, he realised the secret no one tells achievers is that you can be winning on paper and losing your life at the same time. Today, Charlie coaches CEOs, entrepreneurs and high-level performers who look successful but are stuck, unhappy or on the edge of breakdown. He distills the deep psychological, emotional and environmental factors behind real change. Not the “mumbo jumbo” clichés, but principles that actually work in the boardroom and at home. This episode exposes: Why achievement leads to emptiness for driven people How ego and identity trap high performers The lie behind “chasing the next goal” Why burnout hits successful people the hardest How to be successful and genuinely happy If yo...

Marco Rubio has released a strong Substack letter directed at the ANC — and the message is clear: America will not tolerate the ANC’s progressive agenda, socialist policy direction, or hostile foreign relations posture. In this video, we break down Rubio’s statement line by line, look at what it means for South Africa, and why US–SA relations matter for our economy, trade, jobs and global positioning. With over 600 US-linked companies operating in South Africa and the dollar dominating global trade, this warning should not be ignored. Is this a turning point for US diplomacy toward the ANC? Is South Africa risking future investment and global partnerships by doubling down on progressive ideology? Watch the breakdown, share your view, and let’s unpack the impact of Rubio’s warning.

South Africa loves preaching Ubuntu — but the reality tells a different story. In this episode, we break down how the government uses the language of compassion, unity and dignity, while the country experiences one of the highest murder rates in the world, failing public services, corruption, and collapsing accountability structures. According to the latest crime statistics, South Africa now records 23,000 murders a year — over 63 every day — including 10,000 women and children. Is that Ubuntu? Or is the idea being weaponised as political marketing? From pit toilets and failing hospitals, to parliamentary commissions that never lead to accountability — this episode asks the hard question: 👉 Should South Africa stop preaching Ubuntu until we can live it?

South Africa is entering one of its most uncertain political eras. And for the first time, parties inside the Government of National Unity are openly challenging key foreign policy decisions. Freedom Front Plus leader Corné Mulder joins us to unpack everything shaping South Africa's future. Taiwan, the G20 fallout, the ANC’s relationship with China, Parliament accountability, collapsing coalitions, and whether local government can still be saved.

Vusi Thembekwayo provides a candid and comprehensive analysis of the G20 and B20 summits. His assessment is characterised by objectivity and a reliance on factual evidence, offering insight into the summit's global implications. The event, held in Johannesburg, marks a significant milestone as the first of its kind in Africa.

Jay Naidoo reflects on COSATU’s 40-year legacy, South Africa’s democratic journey, and the sacrifices that shaped the nation. He speaks candidly about corruption, failed leadership, collapsing services, inequality, and the urgent need for values-driven renewal. Naidoo calls on citizens, business, and unions to reclaim integrity, rebuild trust, and drive meaningful change.

South Africa is not equal to the USA, China, or Europe! And yet our leaders behave as if we are. In this explosive weekly update, Mike Sham breaks down how the ANC’s fantasy-world politics have pushed South Africa into its biggest foreign policy crisis in decades, directly provoking the United States while our economy collapses around us. We unpack: -How the ANC still believes in a communist-style “everyone is equal” delusion -Why South Africa is not a global superpower — and never was -Trump’s blunt warnings about South African crime and farm murders -Ramaphosa’s disastrous response: “We kill everybody” -How the G20 exposed the collapse of SA’s diplomacy -Why the US boycotted the summit — and why SA let it happen -The economic cost of picking a fight with a country that is 25% of the global economy -Why Europe smiles at us publicly but backs America privately -The staggering global humiliation of having five of the world’s ten worst ports -How Eskom, water failures, crime and infras...

 Viewing life as a "lifelong DIY project" emphasizes personal growth, creativity, and self-discovery.  It suggests that we are the architects of our journey.  Every step we take is part of building something unique and meaningful.  Rather than comparing ourselves to others, we are making choices . Focusing on continuous learning and improvement.  It's a reminder to enjoy the process and appreciate the small victories along the way!  In a world where comparisons often define success, it's worth pausing to rethink.   Instead of viewing life as a race or a contest, what if we embraced it as a “lifelong DIY project”?  A continuous journey of self-improvement, creativity, and discovery? After all, life is not a sprint. It’s an ongoing process of shaping who we are and how we live .  The Myth of Competition.  From a young age, many of us are taught that life is about winning.  We’re told that success is measured by grades, job titles, po...
