Not to forget the McGyver-like attribute that comes embedded in a people who believe “n Boer maak n plan.” As you’ll hear in this podcast, Jacques Basson is a successful entrepreneur in the UK service industry. But he’s spotted an emerging new opportunity in podcasting and has applied his curiosity and experience to build a dedicated audience. - Alec Hogg
