Carmen Murray chats with one of South Africa's renowned comedians, Barry Hilton.

They unpack everything from why he chose comedy as a vessel to express himself to all the lessons learned along the way. One of the interesting discussions is all about the realization that every performance might not be a great one, but you grow to greatness by learning from each experience and to pick yourself up and have the courage to stand tall and show up. So many of us face this in our lives, and it is comforting to learn from the best of the best in our country that this happens to us all.

It is no secret that Johnny Noble and Barry Hilton had a special relationship and he saw potential in Barry and mentored him in his career. He created opportunities to propel Barry's career forward.

In this episode we talk about paying it forward, mentoring and creating opportunities for the next generation. Surrounding yourself with the right mentors that uplift you. We also touch on the role of a mentee when opportunities present itself.
