  • Résumé

  • In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king Welcome to The One-Eyed Man with Mike Stopforth It's a messy, complicated world out there. We need better solutions to the problems around us, and better leaders to them. No one person has it all figured out, but in a quest to discover a more impactful brand of leadership, I'm having conversations with people who have at least some part of it figured out, and specifically in the fields of business, entrepreneurship, impact and technology.

    #069 Twelve principles of start-up growth and momentum — Professor Greg Fisher
    Feb 28 2025
    My guest on this week’s show is Prof Greg Fisher. Greg is the Larry and Barbara Sharpf Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. He is also a visiting lecturer at the Gordon Institute of Business Science in South Africa and, more recently, the author of a fantastic book titled The Principles of Entrepreneurial Progress.

    The book catalogues twelve principles that help create and sustain momentum when launching a start-up, gathered from Greg’s experience teaching and coaching entrepreneurs for two decades.

    In this episode, we talk about how the idea for the book came about, some of the processes of putting the publication together, and dive into some of the more pertinent principles for entrepreneurs in the South African context.

    #067 From startup to SMEgo — Nobesuthu Ndlovu (OML + SingularityU Part 2 of 3)
    Oct 31 2024
    Old Mutual is the headline sponsor of this year’s edition of the SingularityU South Africa Summit. In this three-part series, I speak with some of OML's most interesting movers and shakers, understanding how they are moving the needle at the intersection of leadership, technology and impact.

    My guest on part 2 of the series is Nobesuthu Ndlovu, the director of SMEs at Old Mutual. Suthu is an intuitive and seasoned executive and entrepreneur with vast strategic and operational experience in the finance and retail sectors. Young and
    highly energetic, Nobesuthu also possesses intrinsic wisdom that she garnered when she astutely nurtured her business, Burgundy Fly, from its challenging bootstrap start-up phase right through to when it became a flourishing entity that generated a R31million turnover in the space of a decade.

    We talk about the start-up and SME ecosystem in SA and how, under Suthu's guidance, OML has curated a one-stop turnkey solution for start-ups that need administrative support and access to the kind of network and distribution that only an organisation of Old Mutual's scale can offer.
