Here’s your Connect & Thrive recap! 🎥✨

This past week, we hosted another powerful instalment of Connect & Thrive — and if you missed it, our resident commentator Kevin Botes, Founder of Meek Media, has you covered.

In this attendee-lens recap, Kevin captures the energy in the room, the conversations that moved us, and the insights that stayed with us long after the event ended. From our incredible panel’s reflections on the theme “What got you here, won’t get you there” to their honest, vulnerable stories of growth, setbacks, and breakthrough moments — this video is a reminder that every entrepreneur's journey is layered, real, and worth pushing through.

If you’ve never attended Connect & Thrive, consider this your glimpse into what makes it truly special: community, connection, and wisdom shared with intention.

Watch the full recap, soak in the insights, and remember — you are not alone in this journey. Keep going, keep believing, and keep building. 🚀💛

What got you here won’t get you there… and that’s exactly why we gathered. Connect & Thrive 2026 was more than an event — it was a space for growth, bold conversations, new connections, and real opportunities.

Our panel delivered powerful insights:

Donald Valoyi reminded us that entrepreneurs often rush to formalize too quickly, overlooking the importance of refining the core business. He emphasized the need to “be in the details” — not just hearing what’s happening in your business but understanding why it’s happening so you can respond with intention.

Mitchan Adams offered the kind of perspective that makes you pause, reflect on your decisions, your pivots, and what truly needs to shift for you to reach your next level.

Amanda du-Pont shared her incredible journey of building LeLive during COVID and how she strategically leveraged her digital community to create a proudly African brand poised for global impact, using natural ingredients often exported by international counterparts.

From insightful discussions to meaningful networking and an electric expo floor, the energy in the room was unmatched.

To everyone who showed up, shared knowledge, supported entrepreneurs, and connected with intention — thank you for making this experience what it was.

Here’s to evolving, elevating, and thriving together.
