Major career cheat code: Be the person who can figure it out. You’ll be handed tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work. Ask key questions. Get it done. If you do that, people will fight over you.
Ordered a bunch of stuff from @Makro_SA for my kids birthday party.
Arrived in less than 2 days.
Great experience for when you leave a bulk shop till the last minute. #makromood
Pinching myself. I am surrounded by South Africa's greatest marketing minds AND Mark Ritson. My cup runneth over. Thank you @DeanOelsch for the best marketing conference ever.

Until then, here is an unpopular opinion from Mark 😊
One of the most underrated traits in business and life:
Reliability.
You can get damn far by just being someone that people can count on to show up, punch the clock, and do the work.
Presented 128 headlines today for the new Pineapple OOH campaign. Something deeply satisfying about being involved with a team that delivers craft to this level. Not sure many people know what it takes to get to 128 presentable billboard lines of quality. @halotheagency
Not a #UFC fan, but I’m a huge fan of proudly South African legends.
#Dricus was incredible.
And his post-match speech:
“CAN I GET MY FLAG???
That country is amazing!
Dankie South Africa !”
This is an extraordinary exchange. Must watch.
Yes, calling for genocide constitutes harassment but these leaders cannot bring themselves to say it. Extraordinary.
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
Congratulations to @TourismKZN @MSCcruisesSA on the launch of Nelson Mandela Crusie Terminal. @PresidencyZA thank you for opening this wonderful addition to our tourism sector.
#VisitSouthAfrica thank you very much
