If you're joining me for the first time, my name is Matt Schiff, your gracious host, and I am so privileged to be having you here with me today. We're giving a couple of new episodes a go through slightly different formats. If you are a return guest, you might have noticed these conversations tend to take place between 60 to 80 minutes, some long format, meaty stories, and guests that have joined me on the show up to date.

Not all things in life are black and white. It's the slogan of this show and it certainly was the case during my conversation with Episode 16's guest - Scott Parker ( @scottparker1987 ). The very first released recording for 2021 is introduced to you by a man, who at first glance, is arguably best known for his delicate palette, chef whites, and magazine cover appearances. Let me be the first to tell you that his story in relation to what you might see or hear, is truly not what you may think. A...

Jenna Selley ( @jennaselley ) and I talk all things intuition, health, dietetics, and outreach during episode 15. You know, over the last few months I've put a lot of energy into understanding thought impulses and what effect that energy manifests itself into throughout my life. Clichés that come to mind when bringing up this topic include some dreary quotes like " Either you run the day, or the day runs you " or some more common quotes such as " whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve "....

One of my longest and deepest relationships through friendship is put on a beautiful display through Episode 14's conversation with Didi Mathibe ( @didi_mathibe ). The days leading up to our conversation were weird. There's no other way to put it. Protests around the globe had broken out around "Justice for George Floyd". The Black Lives Matter movement had been amplified, debated, and vivisected from every angle on and offline. A giant explosion had killed 135 people and injured over 5000 from ...

Brett Sparg ( @spargy15 ) - A good friend, mentor, and Greek-God-like human being introduces you to Episode 13! Admittedly, Spargs had been on my radar for some time before I had invited him to be apart of the show. We all have people in life whom we're watching (as creepy as that sounds!). These same people, should you connect with their personal philosophy, are the influencers we're learning and taking inspiration into our lives from through their zest for life. Personally, it was a no-brainer...

Ross Symons ( @white_onrice ), a Cape Tonian Origami artist, and I bring you Episode 12 on the Outcome. Podcast You know, more often I find myself asking the question "what is something I could do today which I haven't done before?", fascinated (or obsessed) by the idea of starting something new and seeing it through. There's a sense of ownership which my routine monkey-mind loves and a self-imposed challenge which all of a sudden I feel obligated to complete as to simply say "I've done it". Whe...

Trent Pike ( @trentcpike ) - An exceptionally humble business man, travel enthusiast, and fellow inner-peace seeker joins me online for Episode 10. With an exceptional story highlighting some of Trent's more recent life challenges and successes, Trent and I took a trip down memory lane to unpack much of where his current mental framework around past and present entrepreneurial successes has given him the experience and skillset to guide sustainable and consciously-minded business development. Do...

Episode 9 on the @outcomepodcast features the Founder and CEO of BoxChamp , Co-Founder of Flexi (Pty) Ltd - Mark Fawzy . As so aptly described in a write up of Mark in 2017, it is very difficult to picture the man doing anything mundane or sub-ordinary once you get a sneak peak into the mind behind the name. I've known Mark for quite a few years now and when the opportunity presented itself to find out a little more about his journey through sports, entrepreneurship and ultimately his perspectiv...

Chinedu Chuka (C.C) Achukwu is a force to be reckoned with. From his outward appearance to his inward demeanour, C.C is an embodiment of practicing what you preach. It was quite difficult to hide how impressed I was when recording this episode as not only was I severely underdressed for the occasion, but I was entranced by the man's perspective on mental frameworks and experiences in life and leadership. Our conversation spans across time where he takes you as the listener along a journey from l...

My last European recorded episode was one recorded with a great friend of mine, David Clancy , a French-American freelance filmmaker specialising in the adventure travel industry. This recording was quite a challenge to get right between a sketchy WiFi line somewhere between an eco-farm, deep in the outskirts of Limassol, Cyprus and a local, Colombian juice bar / coffee roastery! We had to rerecord this episode three times, which took about 3 hours to do, due to numerous technical difficulties, ...

"Movero ( @movero_bamboo ) was born out of a passion for movement. Running, dancing, lifting, climbing and all the other ways that get our hearts beating. From the start, we wanted to create activewear that would intensify this experience. That’s how our love affair began with bamboo." - Simone and Simon Episode 3 on the Outcome Podcast not only digs into our new found "love affair with bamboo" and how it has been supported absolutely by panda bears, athletes and future generations (!), but taps...

This episode is my trial episode where I have finally pulled the trigger, and uploaded the episode 0 of season 1. Whilst listening, you will hear a bit more information about me and how Outcome came into being. As well as a sneak peak into the themes and categories which I plan to discuss along the way. It it without a doubt going through growing pains, so please bear with me whilst I iron out the uhms, ahhs and occasional “padding” in trying to get to the point and keep the conversation as “nor...
