'Don't idolize Elon Musk' - Google's CMO Africa, Mzamo Masito shares secrets to success.
Stop apologising for changing jobs. There’s enough evidence to prove that there’s an upside to changing jobs because those that change jobs correctly tend to earn more.
Google Africa's Chief Marketing Officer, Mzamo Masito, went from fighting to make ends meet to being a South African captain of industry - but his journey is littered with battles and second-guessing. Not what you'd expect from a high-flying executive.
He tells ‘Don’t Hold Back’ podcast, host Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba why young South Africans should not idolise Elon Musk, why Ubuntu is so underrated, and why changing jobs the right way helps you get ahead.
Just a heads up: there is some swearing in this first episode of Season 2. Listen to the full podcast above, or watch it below.
Meanwhile, in the season one finale of the award-winning ‘Don’t Hold Back’ podcast, host Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba looked at Black Tax: what it means, why it’s a taboo topic, and how to navigate it in families.
Nozi held a frank discussion with a very special guest, her husband Skhu Mayaba, which offers listeners a unique insight into how Black Tax impacts relationships from friends to family to spouses.
Nozi and Skhu (pictured above) also discuss the fine line between financial responsibility and generosity, and the tough choices these present!
"It can have a heavy burden on a marriage if you do not discuss these things.. if you do not manage these things," shares Nozi in the episode.
