Tabitha Lage
Did you know that human trafficking is the second largest organised crime, superseded only by drug trafficking? The harsh reality is that unlike most items‚ you can resell a person over and over again. From forced labour on farms and fishing trawlers‚ to domestic servitude, to sexual exploitation on the streets, to behind closed doors in illegal brothels... we see many different forms of exploitation here. Tabitha Lage is the CEO and Co-Founder of Hope Risen, an organisation founded in 2009 with the vision to spread love, hope and justice in the quest to end modern day slavery and exploitation. She chats to Gareth to shed more light on this matter, and to teach more about what we all can do about human trafficking.

Trevor Watkins
After reading Ayn Rand in the early 1980s, Trevor Watkins became a keen libertarian and has been involved with the movement ever since.
Simply put, libertarians believe that people should be able to do whatever they desire as long as their actions do not harm others. As a result, Libertarians want to limit the government's power so people can have as much freedom as possible.
Trevor, the co-founder of the 'Individualist Movement', chats to Gareth to break down what libertarianism is in his own words, and why he believes in it.

Bonang Mohale
We can do well, as we do good - that's Bonang Mohale's message in this powerful conversation, as he explains how business should govern with humanity for more positive impact, as he writes in his new book, 'Lift As You Rise'.

Mark Oppenheimer
It’s almost become the buzzword we’re hearing more and more in the news and social conversations: hate speech. What does it constitute? What defines an open, democratic society? Why is the Hate Speech Bill still such a heated conversation point? Using the Velaphi Khumalo racial slur case as an example, amongst others, Gareth takes on these questions in this conversation with Advocate Mark Oppenheimer.
