Episode Description

Today I’m speaking to Mosidi Modise, a South African social entrepreneur and finance intrapreneur at Allan Gray. When I met Mosidi I was immediately calmed by her presence. Her empathy and kindness make her deeply human, as well as her energy and passion to make a difference in the world.

On top of her full-time job at Allan Gray, Mosidi is trying to raise awareness around sexual harassment and help reduce violence and homelessness, as well as prepare people for the fourth industrial revolution.

We talk about her upbringing in the Freestate province, and how she ended up running a guesthouse at the tender age of 20. We also spend some time discussing running and nature, passions we both share.

On today’s podcast:

  • Mosidi’s education, avoiding the cool kids and gravitating towards people with positive energy
  • Running a guesthouse, studying marketing at the university and then doing an MBA in entrepreneurship
  • Moving to Cape Town and starting work at Allan Gray
  • Joining the Global Shapers hub and helping marginalised communities
  • Helping create awareness around sexual harassment in South Africa
  • Her efforts to help reduce violence and homelessness
