"I won't be a Springbok... but I will take the Snowbok." 🇿🇦❄️
Imagine waking up at 32 years old, leaving your career in finance, and deciding to qualify for the Winter Olympics in a sport you’ve never really done. Sounds impossible? Matt C. Smith didn't think so.
We sat down with "The Snowbok" to hear how he reverse-engineered an Olympic qualification in just 700 days. From learning how to walk on ice like a penguin to training 7 hours a day in Norwegian blizzards—this is a masterclass in resilience and defying the odds.
If you think you’ve missed your window to chase a dream, you need to watch this.

Kamala Harris released a detailed, 82-page policy paper yesterday (link below) that outlines exactly how she plans to lower costs and create an opportunity economy.
The media won’t cover this, so it would be great if you could share!!

‘PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC’ by #Herblock records the horrors of the Chinese suppression of student-led pro-democracy protests, when, on June 3 and 4, 1989, troops and tanks rolled into Tiananmen Square (Beijing) to violently crush the dissent. #tiananmensquare #Democracy #StudentProtests

That glorious moment thirty years ago, when peace, forgiveness and hope showed up in South Africa.
“I was brought up to fear this man, and that just destroyed my defenses immediately.”
From the Amanpour Archive this week, as South Africa celebrates 30 years of democracy, my 2014 conversation with Nelson Mandela’s private secretary @ZeldalaGrangeSA
