Welcome to a truly inspiring episode of our podcast, "Staying Focused on the Goal," where we sit down with none other than professional soccer player, Nazeem Bartman. Nazeem's story is nothing short of incredible, taking him from the challenging streets of Bonteheuwel in the Cape Flats to a thriving soccer career in the United States.

In this episode, Nazeem and I dive deep into his extraordinary journey, a path marked by adversity and unwavering determination. Growing up in a household where stable income was a distant dream, Nazeem faced the odds head-on. He shares with us the relentless focus he maintained on the goal of becoming a soccer star, defying the circumstances that would have deterred most.

But the story doesn't end with Nazeem's personal journey. It's also about the incredible role his parents played in nurturing his belief that dreams can come true. It's about the sacrifices he made to chase his aspirations, even when the odds seemed stacked against him.

Moreover, Nazeem Bartman is a trailblazer with a mission. He's not just about personal success; he's dedicated to breaking barriers and paving the way for others. Whether it's in academics or athletics, Nazeem's story is an embodiment of what's possible. He's founded the FBL foundation to prove just that, providing young individuals from the Cape Flats with hope and inspiration. These are young souls who, like Nazeem, might not have had many positive role models they could relate to or aspire to be. Through the FBL foundation, Nazeem is introducing them to stories of success from their own neighborhoods, showing them that their dreams are within reach.

Join us in this incredible journey as Nazeem Bartman's life unfolds before your ears. It's a story of resilience, ambition, and the power of staying focused on the goal.

Today I speak to Roxana Popet, a Transformational Speaker and NLP trainer from Romania.
During this episode, Roxana reflects on a dark period in her life, when she struggled with her mental health.
At 26 years old, Roxana found herself miserable, working an unfulfilling job while also facing health problems. She was conflicted, not knowing what to do next. This led her to start having some dark and scary thoughts. Though she knew suicide was not an option, the fact that she had been having thoughts about harming herself was reason for concern.

During this episode, Roxana gives us some tips and tools that she had used to get through her dark season and better understand fear and anxiety. She also shared some great techniques for enhanced mental health hygiene.
Furthermore, she shares some tools that we can all use to embody greater confidence in fear provoking situations.

This was a really fun and insightful chat, and I am sure many of you will learn the importance of self-compassion, speaking to someone when you are facing your own dark seasons, and taking your power back.
Stay tuned, this is an episode not to be missed.

This week I speak with Luzuko, a 20 year old wheelchair bound young man who is passionate about eliminating the stigma attached to people with disabilities.
Luzuko has a rare condition, congenital myopathy, which causes his muscles to weaken, resulting in limited movement and respiratory problems. Luzuko is a RxRadio reporter as well as a Western Province player for the physical disabled sports.

During this episode we speak about what it is like being physically limited. Luzuko reflects on his childhood and his high school years. He points out that it was in high school when he really started to feel like he was different.

He speaks about the biggest challenges he faces, and points out that it is difficult to have a social life. He also highlights how he often feels uncomfortable going into public spaces with his wheel chair as people unintentionally stare. This only serves to remind him of the fact that he is different.

Luzuko is always trying to rise up and break the stigma attached to people like him. He has been doing this through producing music and being involved in RX radio.

Furthermore, Luzuko chats to us about mental health, cyberbullying and shares his antidote that stops him feeling sorry for himself.

This is an interesting and an inspiring conversation that should not be missed.

Today I speak to Adrian Mankopan to find out about his journey and how he is helping others to make better decisions. Adrian had previously been addicted to alcohol and found himself living in a graveyard, hating himself and life. But somewhere along the road something shifted for Adrian, and decided to turn his life around.

During this episode, Adrian shares what it was like growing up with a father and how he had a deep hatred for himself and life. This led him to try out drugs and alcohol at a young age. Adrian loved how being drunk made him feel, as it gave him the much-needed confidence to be social and stand up for himself. But alcohol only masked the pain, and soon enough he developed an addiction to alcohol which then led him to end up homeless, living in a graveyard.

Everything began to shift when Adrian started to take responsibility for his life and for where he found himself. Soon enough he was sober for weeks and opportunities started rolling in.
Today Adrian helps others understand their pain and teaches them coping mechanisms so that they do not have to reach for the bottle or engage in other destructive behaviours in order to mask the pain.

Stay tuned, this is an episode not to be missed.
