Life With Zee
A few years ago, I was a freshly minted graduate with a passionate desire to create something impactful. However, I was at a loss as to how to actualize this aspiration. Fast forward to the present day, and I find myself immersed in the dynamic field of marketing, traversing South Africa in pursuit of my professional endeavors. The wealth of experiences and encounters that I have had the privilege of engaging in have been nothing short of extraordinary, leaving me awe-struck! Unfortunately, I have noticed that in modern times, trivial metrics such as social media follower counts have become the primary factor in determining who has the right ‘influence’ to share their stories with a wider audience. If you ask me, I’d say it’s BS and doing a great disservice to our community. So, I embarked on this adventure to create a podcast that would serve as a platform to showcase the fascinating stories and insights from a diverse range of personalities, such as business founders, influencers, content creators, corporate executives, PhD candidates, and more.Consider this podcast as an invitation to a quick coffee chat with me, where you get to tap into a wealth of inspiring stories, reflective narratives, and invaluable tips. Now, sit back, relax and enjoy a snack as we embark on this journey! —————Like the show? Feel free to buy a cup of tea to support https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Lifewithzee

This week I have one of the most intense, interesting and inspiring conversations I have ever had on the Podcast. It left me reflecting on my own life and experience, and opened up a different side of psychology that I haven't seen before.
I sit down with author, motivational speaker and luxury property developer Devon Brough to chat about his journey through life. We unpack some heavy topics such as
- his journey overcoming substance and alcohol abuse
- dealing with the narrative we tell ourselves
- why people stay in toxic relationships and
- how he managed to do a full 180 on his life and go from the darkest place to writing a book and building a Billion Rand turnover business.
Devon gets real and vulnerable with his story, opening up about past traumas and events in hopes to share his testimony and help someone else through a rough spot in life.
I hope you find this as inspiring as I did!
