Описание: Born and bred in Soweto, radio and TV presenter Moeti "Mo Flava" Tsiki, my big brother in the industry, sits down with me as we unpack the misconceptions about his character and public persona.

He opens up about his journey as a broadcaster from his early days on YFM to his long tenure on Metro FM. We reflect on our shared memories at Metro FM speaks about his impact on the industry, including the influence he has had on my own radio career.

Together, we dive into the unspoken politics of the industry and the value of mentorship. MoFlava reflects on juggling school drop-offs, his relationship with his father, reclaiming his name, being a loving husband, and the story behind his wedding ring.

Mo Flava is a man of many layers who has experienced adulting on the radio and has found true wealth in family.

Do not miss this enlightening conversation about finding your true purpose and balance in life.
