In Episode 17 of the Do More Podcast, we’re joined by Tshepo Mantjé to explore the strength and impact of vulnerability, inspired by Brené Brown's influential work, Daring Greatly. Host Warren Farrer and Tshepo discuss how the courage to be open has redefined Tshepo’s life, from his personal journey to his leadership approach in early childhood development (ECD) and law reform.

Tshepo candidly shares how his encounter with the concept of vulnerability as a strength – not a weakness – has shaped his perspective on connection, authenticity, and leadership. In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Breaking away from traditional views on masculinity to lead with compassion and openness
• Advice for those in ECD and similar fields on embracing one’s full emotional self
• How vulnerability creates deeper connections, resilience, and a lasting impact on communities

Whether familiar with Brené Brown’s insights or new to this topic, join us for an inspiring conversation on how daring greatly can lead to powerful change – both personally and for others.
