We start the show by chatting to Lauren Fleiser, inspirational speaker, best selling author, business coach and founder of Trutrepreneur, a collection of products and services put together by Lauren to assist companies and entrepreneurs to align personal passion with successful business goals. The program consists of numerous elements including, networking events, books and audio programs to assist entrepreneurs in being true to yourself through your business.

Next up on the show we hosted General Manager for Spree.co.za (@spreecoza), Louna Lohann, to discuss the recently announced partnership between Spree and the UK's number one online retailer NEXT. Spree is now bringing the best UK fashion straight to the South African market with the partnership. Spree has grown rapidly since its launch a year ago and with a focus to bring the Spree shoppers the best local and international fashion, the partnership makes total sense. Louna takes us through the the reason behind the partnership, the challenges faced as well as how simple getting the best UK fashion delivered to you really is for SA shoppers. We also take a quick look at what the future holds for Spree.
