Hey pal! Welcome back to I've Got Your Back, the podcast.

In this episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Pepe Marais, an incredible thought leader on purpose, creativity, and leadership. Pepe and I met at Farmhouse 58 in South Africa, where I was co-hosting a purposeful leadership immersion with my pal Tom. From the moment Pepe spoke, I knew I had to bring him on to share his wisdom with you.

Pepe is the founding partner and Group Executive Creative Officer of the brand and communications group Joe Public. He’s ranked as the number one creative leader in the South African advertising industry, holds a doctoral degree in Business Management focused on organisational purpose and conscious leadership, and is a published author. But at the core of all his work is a deep passion for unlocking human potential through purpose.

In this conversation, Pepe takes us on a journey of self-discovery, transformation, and personal growth. We dive into:

• The power of finding your ONE word for life and how it can serve as your guiding principle.
• How childhood experiences and unconscious beliefs shape our purpose.
• Why stepping into your full potential requires facing your deepest fears.
• The connection between purpose, leadership, and creating meaningful impact in the world.
• His return to exploring spirituality and faith, and how that has influenced his journey.
