The Maps Maponyane Episode
Like that annoying guy at the club that is always trying to have an ill-timed conversation we won’t stop shouting directly into your ear! This week Phil continues to beg for sponsorship in Johannesburg, and while he was camping at a building in Sandton he happened to meet up with Maps Maponyane and wouldn’t stop following him until he granted us an interview.
This is one of the most surprising and enjoyable interviews we have ever had on the show. Listen in as Masego “Maps” Maponyane details how he overcame a serious stutter to become a model, presenter, and actor who speaks 7 languages. Contrary to the popular pretty boys are dumb adage, Maps is in incredibly intelligent individual, who completed a Quadruple Major in French, English, Media Studies and Human Rights in 3 years while getting his career off the ground.
Maps also shares his business ventures that include a video production company, a champagne and a series of educational and music services.
We play out with Fifi Cooper’s song Kisses featuring AB Crazy. The video for the song featured a cameo by Maps.
Enjoy!
New episode! Dan & Phil return with a fresh episode of a podcast that did not get a visa to discuss World Cup stuff, but will anyway. There's some stuff to catch up on, the technical stuff you've come to expect from these erudite savants, like Miss Universe and Love Island. But also South Africa vs Mexico, and a deep dive into the SpaceX IPO and the state of AI and tech. Fun times. Enjoy!
