Outcome Podcast

Hello ladies and gents and welcome back to the Outcome Podcast. If you're joining me for the first time, my name is Matt Schiff, your gracious host, and I am so privileged to be having you here with me today. We're giving a couple of new episodes a go through slightly different formats. If you are a return guest, you might have noticed these conversations tend to take place between 60 to 8...

Not all things in life are black and white. It's the slogan of this show and it certainly was the case during my conversation with Episode 16's guest - Scott Parker ( @scottparker1987 ). The very first released recording for 2021 is introduced to you by a man, who at first glance, is arguably best known for his delicate palette, chef whites, and magazine cover appearances. Let me be the first to t...

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the Outcome Podcast!"  I am your host, Matt Schiff. If you are joining me for the first time, then I welcome you to this platform. If you have been here before, welcome back. Man, did I miss you!?  The mics have been dusted off, the cogs have been greased, and some bloody great conversations have been patched up and ready to be delivered...

Jenna Selley ( @jennaselley ) and I talk all things intuition, health, dietetics, and outreach during episode 15.  You know, over the last few months I've put a lot of energy into understanding thought impulses and what effect that energy manifests itself into throughout my life. Clichés that come to mind when bringing up this topic include some dreary quotes like " Either you run the day, or...

One of my longest and deepest relationships through friendship is put on a beautiful display through Episode 14's conversation with Didi Mathibe ( @didi_mathibe ).  The days leading up to our conversation were weird. There's no other way to put it. Protests around the globe had broken out around "Justice for George Floyd". The Black Lives Matter movement had been amplified, debated, and vivis...

Brett Sparg ( @spargy15 ) - A good friend, mentor, and Greek-God-like human being introduces you to Episode 13! Admittedly, Spargs had been on my radar for some time before I had invited him to be apart of the show. We all have people in life whom we're watching (as creepy as that sounds!). These same people, should you connect with their personal philosophy, are the influencers we're learning and...

Ross Symons ( @white_onrice ), a Cape Tonian Origami artist, and I bring you Episode 12 on the Outcome. Podcast You know, more often I find myself asking the question "what is something I could do today which I haven't done before?", fascinated (or obsessed) by the idea of starting something new and seeing it through. There's a sense of ownership which my routine monkey-mind loves and a self-impos...

Tatiana Sharpe ( @tatianasharpe ) - Zimbabwe's youngest author, Co-Founder and CEO, Business owner, team member of Global Council for the NGO World Merit, United Nations (UN) Speaker and an incredible philanthropist through numerous volunteer programmes, this episode recording promises to have you enthralled from start to finish.  Whilst Tatiana is all of these things mentioned above, this co...

Trent Pike ( @trentcpike ) - An exceptionally humble business man, travel enthusiast, and fellow inner-peace seeker joins me online for Episode 10.  With an exceptional story highlighting some of Trent's more recent life challenges and successes, Trent and I took a trip down memory lane to unpack much of where his current mental framework around past and present entrepreneurial successes has...

Episode 9 on the @outcomepodcast features the Founder and CEO of BoxChamp , Co-Founder of Flexi (Pty) Ltd - Mark Fawzy .  As so aptly described in a write up of Mark in 2017, it is very difficult to picture the man doing anything mundane or sub-ordinary once you get a sneak peak into the mind behind the name. I've known Mark for quite a few years now and when the opportunity presented it...

Chinedu Chuka (C.C) Achukwu is a force to be reckoned with. From his outward appearance to his inward demeanour, C.C is an embodiment of practicing what you preach. It was quite difficult to hide how impressed I was when recording this episode as not only was I severely underdressed for the occasion, but I was entranced by the man's perspective on mental frameworks and experiences in life and lead...

Where to start...  Alex Procter ( @alexandriaproctor_ ) as a human being, is a single vibration of positive energy that is shooting through the universe at a million miles an hour! With her contagious energy sweeping the room, I got the privilege of being whipped up into it whilst spending an afternoon getting to know Alex and her journey through life so far.  What makes this introductio...

Launched in 2018, JOBJACK was created as a platform for job seekers and employers to connect. The co-founders, Christiaan and Heine, realised after organising waitering jobs for friends and family, that there was a need for a singular platform where job seekers could find available positions. JOBJACK is a marketplace for entry-level positions, focusing on posting jobs that require no tertiary educ...

My last European recorded episode was one recorded with a great friend of mine, David Clancy , a French-American freelance filmmaker specialising in the adventure travel industry. This recording was quite a challenge to get right between a sketchy WiFi line somewhere between an eco-farm, deep in the outskirts of Limassol, Cyprus and a local, Colombian juice bar / coffee roastery! We had to rerecor...

"Movero ( @movero_bamboo ) was born out of a passion for movement. Running, dancing, lifting, climbing and all the other ways that get our hearts beating. From the start, we wanted to create activewear that would intensify this experience. That’s how our love affair began with bamboo." - Simone and Simon  Episode 3 on the Outcome Podcast not only digs into our new found "love affair with bamb...

Glen Finkel ( @glen.finkel ), a South African entrepreneur with a long personal journey through health, fitness, nutrition and business joins me for episode 2 on the podcast.  Not going to university at 19 and with a passion in health and fitness, Glen and I spend time going through his experiences from jumping straight into life at work and quickly becoming the top sales representative after...

"It is in Dark places that we learn who we are. Our journeys to athletic greatness take us on different paths. These paths are hard. These paths are painful. These paths are lonely. These paths require decisions." - Alan Foulis Alan Foulis ( @alanf7 ), is the co-founder of a proudly South African garment company called Dark Performance Apparel and top level competitive CrossFit athlete that knows...

Whilst listening, you will hear a bit more information about me and how Outcome came into being. As well as a sneak peak into the themes and categories which I plan to discuss along the way.  It it without a doubt going through growing pains, so please bear with me whilst I iron o...
