Good Things with Brent Lindeque đź“ş

I'm Brent Lindeque (also known as the Good Things Guy) and this is Good Things with Brent Lindeque, a podcast and vidcast dedicated to sharing the stories of South Africans who are doing remarkable things.

Each episode features honest, uplifting conversations with people who are making a real difference... in big ways, small ways and everything in between. These are the stories that deserve to be heard: stories of resilience, kindness, innovation and hope.
