 Digital transformation isn't just for Silicon Valley companies or young startups. It's a way of life for any creative expecting to survive in the next decade. Jeff Bezos (the founder of Amazo) said, "in today's era of volatility, there is no other way but to re-invent. The only sustainable advantage you can have over others is agility, that's it. Because nothing else is sustainable, everything else you create, someone else will replicate". Many young people are always complaining about the complexity of life today, and because of this, most end up unmotivated to learn. This is the same mentality that drowns our black communities deeper into the poverty pit. On this session of W.O.R.D podcast, we want to tell you that anything is learnable. Do you still remember when you struggled to write your three-letter name in first grade? Look at you now. Programming is no different. Not only is a relevant skill to have, but it is a learnable skill too. Sbonelo Mkhize shares his inspiring journey as a self-taught programmer with the hope that it fuels you to chase your dreams, relentlessly. Because he is a generous 'tech-dude', he also suggested courses and tools to leverage as you continue on your quest to empower yourself and others. 1. Free Code Camp - Their to help people learn to code for free. We accomplish this by creating thousands of videos, articles, and interactive coding lessons - all freely available to the public. 2. Harvard cs50 Course - This is CS50x, Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming for majors and non-majors alike, with or without prior programming experience.

W.O.R.D Podcast

Progamming is a Learnable Skill

Gratitude is everything. One year ago, this podcast was born. We had nothing at that time. No equipment, no funding and absolutely no presenting experience. We took everything and put it in God's hands. I could say, we did what we needed to do. People spoke and we listened. This session goes to everyone who watched us grow and all the other people we met later. You all matter. Carry that with you. Let your friends know that as young people, we are great, capable and destined to make magic in this world. Together we have what it takes to fill each other's voids and be awesome. Listen to this lovely session  with young and driven individuals. Uviwe, Lemogang, Londekile, Tinyiko, Tshepi, Masentle The BA, Tay'though, Carloman. Host : Guy Luyanda Follow us on Instagram

It's Youth Month - W.O.R.D turns 1 | Lockdown Party

In this session, I share one of the few ways writers can make money from the comfort of their homes. It is no joke that the 4IR is upon us. Therefore, we must learn how to use our skills to reach the light at the end of this excruciatingly dark tunnel. Don't forget to comment, rate, share and subscribe to our podcast.

Don't Sleep on Yourself - Write for Money. #lockdown

I woke up this morning to crushing news updates. The Coronavirus cases recorded in South Africa rose to 709 by 25th March 2020. This shows the urgency at which this matter needs to be taken serious by citizens. Being uncertain about tomorrow is scary for everyone. We are not alone. The government, on the other hand, is trying to help and inform people as much as they can.  WORD urges you to take action and participate in doing everything the government asks of you.  This too shall pass! This session Is accompanied by another dope Deep House song composed by NiqDeep and SKJ Lacoste. I like to know what you think about the podcast, get in touch with me on Instagram. STAY SAFE!!!
