What would you NOT win a medal for?

--:--

Fresh off the energy of the Comrades Marathon, Stacey and J Sbu flip the conversation around success on its head by asking: What’s something you’d NEVER win an Olympic medal for? From missed deadlines to burnt toast, this is a hilarious and brutally honest look at our everyday struggles and imperfections.

Whether it’s Stacey’s war with admin and paperwork, J Sbu’s weakness for soul food or listeners confessing they’re chronically late, directionally challenged, or incapable of sending short voice notes - this podcast is a goldmine of self-awareness and laughter.

It’s all about embracing the things we don’t excel at and finding comfort in knowing we’re not alone.
