Felix Spies, founder of Siyafunda Education Foundation, joins John Watson to unpack how philanthropy in South Africa can evolve from charity handouts to sustainable wealth creation.
Felix shares how he’s bridging the gap between corporate boardrooms and rural classrooms - from building trust-based partnerships to transforming education in the Northern Cape.
Together, they explore what real impact looks like, why short-term “show and go” projects fail, and how the five T’s - Time, Talent, Treasure, Testimony, and Ties - can change how companies and individuals serve communities.
If you’ve ever wondered how to connect purpose, profit, and people - this conversation will challenge how you think about giving, leadership, and being in your right place.
