Is the capital stack truly stacked in favor of the stewards, or are we building on a shaky foundation?
In this episode, we dive deep into the complexities of investment in Africa, moving beyond just "investing in" to "investing with" the vibrancy of the continent. Joined by Amon Munyaneza, we unpack the critical role of property rights, the nuances of the capital stack, and how biblical stewardship can redefine the economic landscape for lasting impact.
Whether you're an investor, a business leader, or someone passionate about Africa’s prosperity, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on building systems that actually transform society.

South Africa is at a point of inflection. For years, the "land issue" has been a source of uncertainty and fear for both domestic and international investors. In this episode, I sit down with members of parliament Wayne Thring and Steven Swart from the ACDP to unpack the reality of land reform, the shift toward property rights, and why the "ship is starting to turn."
We discuss the 1% productivity statistic, the move toward title deeds in townships, and how biblical principles of restitution are the key to a prosperous future. If you've been "waiting and seeing" with South African investment, this is a must-watch.

Is "Investing IN Africa" a fundamentally broken concept?
In this episode, Franck Mwenda joins me to discuss why we must pivot to "Investing WITH Africa." We explore the shift from extractive models to collaborative capital and how building local ecosystems is the only sustainable way to unlock the continent's true potential. It's time to stop looking for exits and start looking for partnerships.

Despite billions being invested in Africa, relatively little is focused on the Cosmos Mandate or the third strand of the Great Commission. Can the African Diaspora help address this? We dive into the ten spheres of society and why the next generation of African wealth isn't just about money—it's about reclamation.

What if the world’s "riskiest" market is actually your greatest opportunity for Kingdom impact?
Henry Kaestner joins me to discuss why he is "bullish" on Africa. We dive into the shift from de-risking to "re-risking," the power of marketplace miracles, and why the next generation of African entrepreneurs is staying put to build their own backyards.

Are you investing in Africa, or with Africa? The difference could be the secret to your success.
I sat down with serial entrepreneur Jon Kontz to discuss a profound shift in perspective: moving from extractive or philanthropic models to true partnership. We unpack why pacing, humility, and "ordered systems" thinking are essential for any investor looking at the next frontier.

What happens when a business leader gives God not just their plans, but their ownership?
Join Brett for a rich and heartfelt conversation with South African business leader Francois van Niekerk in our latest episode. Francois shares his remarkable journey from corporate life to founding and growing diverse ventures in IT, property, insurance and beyond. Together they explore the historical and cultural landscape of South Africa, the realities of leading in a complex society, and the call to honour God through business structures and decisions.
Francois recounts pivotal moments, including a near bankruptcy and the simple prayer that reshaped the trajectory of his life and work. He explains how the principles behind the Mergon Foundation were formed, why ownership matters in Kingdom business, and how listening to God before making strategic decisions became central to their growth. Through personal stories, practical insights and reflections from more than six decades in business, he offers wisdom for leaders.
