Media through the looking glass

What would your talk at TEDxJohannesburg focus on?

An outsider's look at why online and print media are collaborating to evolve an industry.

Where can we experience you as a speaker?

At TEDxJohannesburg 2010! (Because TED has a special place in my heart). Later this year you'll be able to see me sharing my top tips on entrepreneurship that are being showcased in Old Mutual's start-up wisdom project.
