    The reason why I admire Vusi is because of how authentic, versatile and relatable he is. With the level of success that he has achieved, you’d expect some form of dissociation from the day to day realities of most people, however, he’s very empathetic. Finally, his videos are philanthropic because the content he puts out there, his fans pay ridiculous amounts of it, and we get to access it for free. You can tell he believes in black people and Africa.

    A confession first - I developed an unwarranted dislike for Vusi, because some people's misguided opinions about who he is started taking root in my mind and consequently I started seeing him as just "one of those" motivational speakers who only just talk for a living and don't own any tangible business. I could sit here and say I was a victim of misguided opinion but I won't, I'm guilty for having judged a man I knew little to nothing about. I watched this interview with intention and some parts got me emotional, emotional because I was filled with awe and emotional because I don't want to be that African with a crabs in a bucket mentality. Vusi is an intelligent and eloquent individual, his verbal prowess is undeniably one of the best I've come across, well read too. This interview was a master piece. Keep soaring Sir, "a prophet is not without honor except in his own town".

    I am Liberia 🇱🇷, watching from Hong Kong.
    I must say, this is an incredible podcast. I admire Vusi so much because he is versatile, innovative, and knowledgeable, and I love people like him. This conservation enlightened me more about Vusi and his life at home; it was surprising to learn about some things he has to deal with at home; however, it gave me a different view of him. Thank you, Penuel; Vusi got me here, so I will be following you closely, I love SA and I strongly believe in Africa's oneness, so you got my support from Liberia. By the way, I love the sound of the language you guys were speaking; it was very unique and made the podcast even more creative; however, I would have really loved to understand what you guys were saying since I am not a South African, so that I would suggest, you, please translate the vernacular part of the podcast in the caption to help your international audience understand.
    Thanks for creating this stellar and informative podcast; I love it.

God Pen, thank you so much for this interview. I will watch it over and over. Also, it makes sense why he chose your platform to have this talk. Vusi is a smart guy. Heck! Both of you are. He chose to come to your platform because he knows his message will not be termed boring and get diluted. He knows elsewhere, he was going to be asked "did you smash so and so?" You are onto something, God Pen, and I am here to stay. Onward and upward.

    I used to also watch Tom Bilyeu's podcast (impact theory) every day and would comment and ask Tom to bring only Vusi. When it happened I celebrated like crazy.
    I've literally listened to that impact Theory episode more than 30 times. I still have it in my mp3 player.

From myself, I can only thank you Pen, for allowing an open space for Vusi to enter in, wherein he fully can be himself in a way that we in turn can fully benefit and absorb from him and yourself for that matter as well. Hats off to you and your efforts and i look forward to hopefully seeing Vusi as a regular, in the same way i look forward to your talks with Rutendo.
