I remember him very well during my Wits times. We stayed in the same Res - David Webster. A lot of people misunderstood and mischarged him because of what he had. I had the same thinking but untill I approached him he was totally the opposite of what most people at the time were thinking of him. He is a very nice person, you would not say he was coming from a rich family. He is a very bumble being and intelligent being. Phesheya is a great man. I wish him greatness in life ahead and may God continue keep guiding him in the right paths.

"Give your children enough to be comfortable but don't steal their struggle"... I will remember that

Yeah, it's like helping a butterfly by breaking it's cocoon. You cripple it because breaking the cocoon develops the muscles it needs to fly.

Phesheya is a great storyteller aswell, another trait of successful people

I have so much respect for this Phesheya guy. He did what every privileged 20-something-year-old would do. He made mistakes, learned, and made a 180-degree change. He made boyish mistakes, owned them up, and transformed himself into a man. Respect!!!!

This guy is so genuine. His so intelligent, his very well spoken,great storyteller too.

This is incredible. I love the complex relationship between being self made and coming from a well established family that can provide for you. The concept of the self made looking down on the privileged yet aspiring to provide the basics for their kids. The conversation around how we manage new found wealth as a black community, how we pass it onto our kids and still allow them the opportunity to work for something. Ive looked at white kids who went to private school who do not suffer the same. Ive heard about how generational challenges faced by our parents, lead to the parenting style of over shielding their kids hence their inability to find themselves. It's a lot.

Real people, real stories, real challenges...this episode makes me appreciate podcasts for their ability to allow guests to tell their stories and for us to extract wisdom from them. Thanks, Pen for your ability to listen and drive the conversation!! Beautiful Episode

Being self aware is the most beautiful refreshing thing to see, being able to acknowledge the good and the bad about yourself, many still struggle with this process

The content here is genuinely having a positive impact on me, I'd be more than willing to pay. However, I'd like to know where those funds go to. I acknowledge that once I pay it's your money and you may do with it as you see fit. But I don't want to see myself indirectly funding Afriforum.

I'm the same age as Phesheya and I've worked really hard to get to where I am at where I am still going, before this interview, I was one of those people who looks at their struggles and wonder why I did not come from privilege, but after this interview, I realise we all have struggles. Much respect for Phesheya, as a woman who is driven and comes from under privileged backgrounds, I wish I had this kind of people in my corner too, it's mind shifting...

Even I as a broke guy, coming from a broken family without both parents I overstood him and have learnt alot,what a Devine specimen of a being

His level of self awareness is refreshing.

I enjoyed this conversation very much. I see many folks pointing out that Pen was disruptive, judgmental and biased - I think that's great because this is more of a conversation than an interview. I don't expect Pen to be completely impartial. His biases allow the guest to unpack their thoughts even deeper and with more clarity. Pen is asking Phesheya questions that I would've wanted to ask him and reacting the way I'd react to what Phesheya is saying. Phesheya is very intelligent, and eloquent and has impressive business acumen. I envy that. It's really dope that he shared his story.

I appreciate the wholesomeness of the guest that he stayed calm though some questions came out as abrasive and condescending. I would like to see more of Phesheya interviews by different interviewers.

As a mother, I learned a lot from this young man sharing his journey, helps with how we go about raisingour sons.

Love how this dude is so honest about everything.

Thank u for reminding me that there's nothing wrong with "structures" and that it's for my own good...there is no need to feel bad for being disciplined and having routines. 🤝There's always a tuck of war mentally... Our environments always lure us into submitting into this "magical thinking" n shift us aways from structures

I’m about a third through this & I’m in absolute awe of gent’s father. I stopped viewing to say just that. Deliberate, orchestrated, impactful, (sometimes) hard/tough leadership is super important if you have a certain outcome in mind for your kids. When the black nation looks at Muslims/Jews and what they do with their families, we realise that there’s had to be a roadmap and a captain/s (father/parents) to steer the family’s vessels (kids lives) to an imagined promised land. Society can’t raise your kids when you’re a present parent. Be there. They (kids) may not like it (being steered) but they’ll definitely, in hindsight, thank you for it. I actually would like to witness an interview of his father on leadership, manhood, parenting, presence (in your life, kids & spouse’s lives), money, etc. Listen I could go on forever. I’m realising as I type this that parenting is a mentor protégé gig.🤯 Enjoy this platform ket. Bangene. Msibi Boyz Worldwide. One.

Reading some of the comments here and on other episodes... I'm starting to fully appreciate why Nkululeko Nkewu and Joe Rogan don't read comments. A lot of them are ignorant, ill-informed, ppl with alternative views & most importantly, ppl who - if you take their comments seriously - would find one making the same old dry content one finds on mainstream media... and which would actually kill the flavour of who I am and how I converse with & attract people into my life. I will try harder to stay away from the comments section & focus on the work than on people's opinions... however, please keep them coming, even if I don't agree with you or like the comments... that's what makes us human... that's what makes life dynamic. Thank you for supporting the channel... we appreciate each and every one of you. 🙏🏽❤️

Top 2 episodes, first few minutes around manhood, seperation and seeking belonging in women though financial means was soooo relatable. So many gems dropped too and lessons learnt on fatherhood. Thank you Black Pen, thank you Phesheya

Penuel seems to have had pre-conceived notions about wealthy people, he was not willing to part with. His aim might have been to 'ask the hard questions', that however backfired, and instead he came across as combative, judgemental and stubborn. He wasn't in it to learn a new perspective but to confirm his own biases and essentially undermine the guest's experiences. Though, I love how Phesheya rose above all that judgement and hostility, to shine in this interview. Penuel, you need to work on your own biases and preconceptions, let the guest tell their story. Your interviewing skills lacked in this

I totally disagree. Penuel did a great job. He pushed where he needed to push and also allowed the man to say his bid. It seems like you are looking for an echo chamber and that is not what the show is about.

I like Phesheya, his appreciation for his family is beautiful. He is very aware of the sacrifices they have made for him. God bless you

This has to be one of the most open conversations.I also like Penuel's style of interview.

Yet again, great and informative episode. There is a lot to learn from Phesheya and his life story, this episode was able to unpack very important issues that face the youth in our society. And he was just able to unpack it from a more 'privileged' position

I love that Phesheya is acknowledging that growing up rich put him a step ahead in life. Great interview altogether

im so thankful of this channel... school of life.

I've watched a few of the episodes on the channel. This one is brilliant. Pen might sound condescending, judgemental and abrasive but he is asking these questions from the viewers perspective. His way of questioning allowed Phesheya to give us proper answers that clearly reveal who he is. And lets be honesy there is a level of judgement towards rich people. Kudos to this guy for being so self aware. I hope he is inviter back to discuss his businesses etc.

sincere and enlightening thank you for inviting this South African gentleman.

I learned a lot from this interview... Phesheya is a man with brains 🧠 and the ability interact positively and wisely.

Pen, this needs a part 2 please... I enjoyed the conversation, learnt a lot... thanks brothers!

Some people are lucky to grow up with parents who supported them through thick and thin, then the is us who had difficulty in navigating life, no supporting structure at all, only aunties and uncles who reminded us how useless we are.

Half way through this and I have related to EVERYTHING that he has said. Power to all sensible men.

This was an amazing episode! I saw myself in big homie. Shout out to yall man. These conversations are very necessary.

By far my favourite episode on this channel. thank you and keep up the good work.

I recently saw this man on social media and i was wondering who he is. Wow what a smart man nozipho is blessed for sure

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this. Phesheya has a wealth of insight. Great episode, gentlemen.

Great conversation Penuel! This is a gem. Very valuable content!

Love these conversations Penuel. I don’t know the guest but I’m intrigued by his fathers knowledge and discipline. Would love to know more about him, books, websites anything of his would be appreciated.

I really commend Phesheya. To open your life & have it examined, and questioned ...amazing.

Real conversation here. I can relate so much with this Brother's story. Your Father is a Solid Man. As young men growing up we need that structure and discipline so we are secured in ourselves and can be productive, confident, intelligent Men. What a wholesome conversation. Salute!

I love how involved his parents were

Best podcast I have watched all year, the guy is non-pretentious, and epitomises something something everyone can relate to.

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Please get him back Pen!!!! Phesheya you’re a great story teller, I could listen to you for hours.

Always love these conversations. Keeping on giving us Good Content Penuel.

I really enjoyed this conversation, So insightful, IPhesheya is self aware & wise. I felt like the interview was short, I could listen to him speak all day. I can’t wait for the next segment.

When we face constant challenges in life, we all wish we were born in rich families, but this interview shows ukuthi life challenges are necessary in moulding you to be who you are, to find purpose in life and be responsible. Siyabonga bo bhuti for sharing your real stories. Very inspiring Indeed.

This is what most of us go through in life listen to this interview there hope some of us will find our way again great interview

Absolutely enjoyed this episode. Has to be in my top 3. Way too muh insight for my liking. I could personally relate to a lot of personality traits Phesheya has/had. It also almost seems like I saw a future version of myself, it's difficult to explain but it is what it is, being the same age as him and all. “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” ― Albert Einstein

Sometimes one appreciates a company of people with no intentions beyond company! I see nothing wrong with that!

Wow this was very insightful. 🙏🏾

Sho Penuel, Social Workers are therapists and they can operate in the counseling space. Brilliant conversation here

Great conversation! Thanks for sharing these critical journeys. Life is definitely not a straight path but journey of discovery.

Wow, well done Phesheya 👏🏽 on your evolution...so refreshing to see a young man leveling up this good.

Very informative conversation , I have also learned a lot about how to raise a children more especially when as father able to provide almost everything they deserve during their upbringing , because it makes them to relax and see no need to work hard. We have to raise the warriors.

Beautiful. Thank You ❤️

We need more conversation like these!!

Good channel. Good questions. Great conversation. Thank you 🙏🏽

Please bring this guy again this year(2023) Penuel 🙏🏽

Yho 😮 eye opening as a mother of a young man.. Pen thank you.. im becoming a fan 🎉

Great episode , enjoyed this conversation, highly recommend this episode to young women.

"I stand on the shoulders of giants." Very reflective words those. Kudos to you Penuel & Pheyesa, this is a wonderful interview. Another gem from this channel 🔥

This conversation had me glued to my screen. Thanks for sharing your story.

Phesheya bro, I hope you are proud of yourself because you have SAVED many of our children's lives, as a black gen we are fighting for our kids to have that type of life but we didn't know they would face such challenges, Am sure we will cross ways, cant wait to shake your hand for this, again, Thank you bro

This is therapy. Thanks for this.

So so glad I came across this🙌

This was a great conversation. Relatable content. Conversations we should be having for our generation. Great platform to unpack them. Shoutout Penuel.

Very insightful thank you for sharing Phesheya🥺🖤.

Wow Phesheya! What an insightful conversation. 👏👏

Well done Penuel, a great interview!! On a note of comfort: People watched the interview to the end (including your detractors...) and that alone is an achievement. Lastly, I think each interview has different strengths and weaknesses, OR then its like a Jerry Springer show a "well written script & packaged show".. which looses the authenticity. Growth is the result!! Well done!!

Great interview. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Good interview I didn’t even know Phesheya till now👌🏾👌🏾

Enjoyed this interview, so much wisdom.

Very educational 👏🔥🔥

Mr Duma is a great storyteller ❤️

I like it at the end when its fill in the blanks 😊

I was a waiter a some point in my life and I met such a guy, he'd get pleasure from just seeing me, he'd walk in the store nobody attended him but me and when I was helping him he'd wanty full attention my mangers would take my other tables and I would attend to him alone even when he came with his "girlfriends" I'd be his waiter. When he came alone he'd order a bottle of wine drink a glass and leave me a R1000 tip every single time he was in my province and he wouldn't talk much I knew he was wealthy and came from a previllaged background , but we would have general conversations and he'd leave and travel back to Gauteng only text me that once his driver picked him up and his messages would always be it was good seeing you, I'm happy I got to spend time with you etc... Until I found a partner and I couldn't entertain him anymore and I stopped communication with him and we only spoke when he was around when he left we were stagers .... Such a humble person he was then

This video and Rob Hersov are my favourite. Eish Shout out to Mr Duma

What a brilliant conversation
