Sinopse

From 'naughty lists' to sprinting swans, wandering ducks to Amarula-based incentives, The First Kudu takes you on the roller coaster ride of a start-up, and dives into real learnings along the way.
The narrative invites you to journey through the chaos with the young team and unpacks in gritty detail what goes into building a tech start-up – with stories of fun and failure honestly told in equal measure.
The First Kudu tells the story of HouseME, a rental technology company founded in South Africa that grew to 34 employees and 50 000 registered users, processing hundreds of millions of rands each year. The company won awards, raised several rounds of funding and was sought after by competitors.
It was exciting.
It was excellent.
And then …
It was dead.
Ben Shaw (former CEO) and Lorne Hallendorff (former COO) provide a whirlwind tour of what goes into building a start-up at the southern tip of Africa and what they would do differently, were they to do it again.

    Social media marketing has become an essential component of any modern business strategy, providing an invaluable platform for engaging with customers, building brand awareness, and driving growth. With billions of active users across various platforms, businesses can tap into an enormous pool of potential customers, making social media a powerful tool for reaching targeted audiences and building lasting relationships. 
      
    At its core, social media marketing involves using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and others to create and share content that promotes a brand, product, or service. This content can range from posts and images to videos, stories, and ads—all aimed at fostering engagement, driving traffic, and ultimately achieving business goals. Social media offers the unique advantage of real-time interaction, allowing businesses to directly communicate with their audience, receive immediate feedback, and respond to inquiries or concerns quickly. 
      
    One of the key strengths of social media marketing is its ability to target specific demographics. Through advanced targeting tools, businesses can reach potential customers based on factors such as location, interests, age, and behaviors. This ensures that marketing efforts are focused on the most relevant audience, increasing the likelihood of conversions and maximizing return on investment.

    The demand for inclusive workplaces is stronger than ever, with most employees seeking a sense of belonging and fairness at work. Yet traditional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies have faced backlash and stagnation, leaving organizations at a crossroads.Where common DEI initiatives have failed, this book instead offers a results-based, systems-focused, all-inclusive, and universally beneficial framework to help bring about real social change in the workplace. This can be achieved through the FAIR framework: Fairness—Promote equitable treatment by addressing systemic barriers and ensuring transparent, just practices for all. Access—Expand opportunities by removing obstacles and creating pathways for underserved and underrepresented groups. Inclusion—Foster a sense of belonging where diverse voices are valued, heard, and integrated into decision-making. Representation—Reflect the diversity of society at all levels, ensuring visibility and participation across demographics. 
    The DEI industrial complex failed to make real change through unchecked growth and performative practices, and far-right antagonists only offer regressive "solutions." With clarity, urgency, and practicality, Fixing Fairness offers a third option and charts a path forward for those committed to creating better outcomes for all.

    What if the conflicts in our lives—from personal disagreements to workplace tensions to global divisions—all stem from the same root cause? The Anatomy of Peace shows how our biases and behaviors perpetuate cycles of conflict and, more importantly, how we can break free from these patterns to create lasting peace and meaningful change.

The Anatomy of Peace is the story of how they came together, how they help warring parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and global conflicts that weigh us down, even when war is upon us. 
     
     
     
    This new edition includes a new preface and an extensive discussion guide that helps listeners apply these principles in practical ways, making it an invaluable resource for organizations, teams, and individuals seeking to transform conflict into cooperation.
