  • Leaving SA: Worth it or not?

    Leaving SA: Worth it or not?
    May 23 2024
    In this episode of The Carol Ofori Podcast, Carol investigates the pros and cons of leaving South Africa in search of ‘greener pastures’.

    The podcast features insights from Mark Sham, a well-travelled entrepreneur, as well as observations from two other South Africans – one who emigrated two years ago and another who left the country and returned eight years later.

    In the first part of the podcast, Mark discusses the idea that moving away from South Africa involves trade-offs rather than outright solutions.

    Mark emphasises the importance of understanding and weighing both the benefits and drawbacks of living in another country.

    The second part of the podcast includes conversations with Zane Derbyshire, who relocated to the USA, and Tyron Hansen, who moved to Canada and later returned to South Africa.

    Zane and Tyron both share their personal experiences, the challenges, and the joys of living abroad, with an emphasis on what they miss about South Africa and the reasons behind their decisions to move and, in Tyron's case, to return.

    The episode also highlights the various reasons South Africans choose to relocate, the reality of adjusting to new cultures and environments, and the deep ties that many still feel towards their home country.

    This is an important podcast for any South African who has ever thought of leaving the country in search of a ‘better life’ elsewhere. Podcast page on ECR's website

    This episode is for every single person who has a passion and a dream of turning that passion into something incredible.

    Sheldon shares his inspiring journey from starting as a barber on his cousin's stoep in Eldorado Park in Soweto to becoming the owner of Legends Barber, Africa's number one rated barbershop with 70 salons and over 600 employees across the continent.

    Sheldon discusses his early passion for hairstyling, the challenges and setbacks he faced, including a partnership that almost ended his ambitions, and how perseverance and a unique approach to customer service propelled him to success.

    He also talks about the importance of treating people with kindness, his innovative ideas like the mobile barber bus, and the impact of Legends Barber on communities, including offering free training for aspiring barbers.

  • Weight loss 'quick fixes' and off-label drugs: Are they worth it?

    Weight loss 'quick fixes' and off-label drugs: Are they worth it?
    Apr 17 2024
    In this episode of The Carol Ofori Podcast, Carol investigates a drug, initially developed to manage type 2 diabetes, but now also gaining global popularity as a weight loss solution.

    There’s a new weight loss craze that’s taking the world by storm, with many people reporting great success.

    It is a medication used to treat patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but is now also being used for weight loss, with many doctors prescribing it “off label” for this purpose.

    As a result of its indiscriminate and ‘off-label’ use, we are not allowed to use the name of the drug, but can tell you it is a semaglutide, and is from a class of medicines called GLP-1s.

    It is usually administered as a daily or weekly injection.

    Well-known international celebs such as Oprah Winfrey, Sharon Osbourne, Elon Musk and Khloe Kardashian have all been linked to this drug, and as a result, arguably contributing towards its popularity.

    So, Carol decided to go on a fact finding mission on The Carol Ofori Podcast.

    In the first part of this episode, Carol speaks to two people who have direct experience with using this drug for weight loss, 48-year-old Robynne Fitzpatrick and her son, 19-year-old Michael. Michael’s father, Chris Fitzpatrick, who is a sports nutritionist and former body builder, also joins the conversation.
    To provide a balanced perspective, Carol then seeks the professional opinion of Dr. Sundeep Ruder, an endocrinologist with an extensive background in the field.

    Dr. Ruder delves into the science behind GLP-1s, their role in weight management, and the ethical considerations surrounding their off-label application for weight loss.

    Dr Ruder also emphasises the importance of looking beyond medication to address the root causes of obesity, advocating for a holistic approach to health and well-being.
