'You don’t need recognition to do the right thing.' – The Wisdom of Everyday Heroes

Loading player...

The real heroes in life aren’t the ones on stages and platforms receiving awards and recognition, fame and fortune. The real heroes are everyday men and women doing their bit to make the world a better place, sometimes in the humblest of circumstances.

Join me as I chat to one of these everyday heroes, Tapson Moyo. I was blown away by the wisdom of this ‘humble philosopher’ and I’m sure you will be too. His reflections on life, work, fatherhood, conscious choices and staying positive are guaranteed to inspire.

We are all of equal value, and this episode is an invitation to honour and acknowledge the hidden heroes among us.
