Morgan Jacobs - Born to Race, From Karting to the Circuit
June 9, 2026
For Morgan Jacobs, motorsport was always part of who she was. Raised in a family where racing wasn't just a weekend pastime but a way of life, Morgan's journey began where many great drivers first discover their love for speed, behind the wheel of a kart. What started as a childhood passion quickly evolved into something much bigger, a relentless pursuit of excellence that would see her rise through the ranks of South African motorsport. Fast forward to 2025, and Morgan has become one of the country's most exciting young racing talents. Today, Morgan pilots the iconic BMW E46 330i, a machine revered by racing enthusiasts and petrolheads alike. But her path to championship success has been anything but ordinary. From wrestling a thunderous Backdraft Cobra around the circuit to taking on the challenge of racing a Mustang at Red Star Raceway earlier this year, Morgan has embraced every opportunity to sharpen her craft and push her limits. In this episode, Morgan Jacobs takes us back to where it all began. We explore her earliest memories in karting, the influence of growing up in a motorsport family, and the lessons learned from spending a lifetime around racetracks. She opens up about the mindset required to compete at the highest level, revealing how working with a sports psychologist is a big asset to racing, pressure, and performance when the lights go out on race day. We also dive into the fiercely competitive battle between three female racers that saw Morgan emerge victorious as the chosen rookie for the Pablo Clark Development Team. Beyond the trophies and podiums, Morgan reflects on the life lessons motorsport has taught her about resilience, confidence, preparation, and overcoming setbacks when the stakes are at their highest.

Leap of Faith -The Danielle Nolte Story
April 21, 2026
In this deeply moving and spirit-filled episode, I sit down with Danielle Nolte, fresh from her gold medal victory at the ASA Senior Track and Field Nationals and now a five-time national champion. But this conversation reaches far beyond medals and milestones. It’s an honest, powerful glimpse into a life anchored in faith, shaped by adversity, and guided by profound purpose. Danielle takes us inside the emotions and mindset of competing at nationals through the fierce Cape weather, as well as leaning not only on physical preparation, but on a deep, unwavering spiritual foundation. What emerges is a story not just of performance, but of surrender. Of feeling only joy and peace on the runway. One of the most special moments was the presence of her family and of her grandmother who was watching Danielle compete for the first time in five years. It becomes a full-circle moment of love, growth, and legacy, a reminder that behind every athlete is a story of people, connection, and unseen support. We look at the upcoming season, the Commonwealth Games, African Champs and a lot more action that will precede that. We talk about her training in Italy, the environment that is created by her coach there, a coaching style rooted in mindfulness and less is more. We talk about her goal of making the Commonwealth Games after competing at the world championships. A month before the Worlds, Danielle struggled with a terrible injury. But it was a spiritual shift and a clear direction for her calling and purpose. At the very core of her conviction, Danielle Nolte always uses her platform to be an ambassador for God. This is the first time she has got to share her faith story in an interview and to be in this space alongside her, is such a privilege.
