Q : Well Mr Sage you're a young with huge visions, what actually drives you and what distinguishes you from your peers?
A : For a Chess Player from a young age Mr Sage has always had questions and ideals when things were posed to him. From a young age I've always challenged people and asked critical or if you like potent questions just for the sake of clarity. Growing up with that mindset abruptly built perspective for me and a lot of human capacity understanding. I fell in love with helping people and sharing knowledge everywhere I am. When my peers would party and do drugs I would read books. Just to build perspective and find a way to help other with what I know.
Q : That's very interesting. So what are your biggest visions and goals for Sage Institute?
A : My Biggest objective for Sage Institute is to build the largest Stop Shop for Coaching from Life's Spectrum and Business Canvas for individuals, small and medium businesses in the country and the world.
Q : So please tell me what inspired you to go by the name of Mr Sage.
A : Sage institute a company on wisdom grounds was formed with the aim of sharing knowledge but specific to life and business. Sage means; "A man of gravity, a stoic Philosopher and wise gentleman; noble and one with a sound judgement- A friend of mine and myself found out that the founder and discoverer of marketing is Sir Peter Drucker who then resembles my character and persona. He was awarded the name Sage for his disposition which we saw fitting for me to use also.
Q : What have you accomplished so far that serves as an indication that you are moving closer towards that goal?
A : Interesting. I believe in "Life is what you make of it and one life can only shrink or expand in proportion to one's courage" . Therefore Sage has erupted a space where schools, businesses events coordinators invite us to share fundamental coaching concepts with them and I have managed to cliche different partnerships with small and well-known movers and shakers. I have hosted radio sessions and interviews in different radio stations around Vaal and in Johannesburg namely; Sedibeng FM, Karabo FM and Voices Of Wits (VOW). We have coordinated small and biggest events and Sage Institute has given birth to organizations and non-profit organizations.
Q : Awesome... Mr Sage, without any means to offend you- I think you're still too young and should be seeking guidance from your parents yet here you are changing lives and contributing in the positive change of the world and business. By so saying I think you are one of a kind and quite an unpredictable man. So please tell me, now that you seem to be so full of surprises, what else can we expect to learn about you in the near future-any projects that you're working on?
A : Sage institute is in partnership with records companies, empowerment-organizations and local brands. Therefore I'm looking to create a platform where young creative minds like me dine and network through Conversation with Sage on YouTube soon premiere. We are looking to open a segment of managing young artists and create a path way for them to the mainstream market. And we are also looking to take Sage institute to domestic provinces and countries around Africa. It is possible and we will get there.
Q : Very big plan that is hey... So what is that one statement - sort of a quote which you wish that everyone lived with every minute of every hour of every day?
A : "YOU MAY HAVE A DISADVANTAGED BACKROUND BUT NOT A DISADVANTAGED BRAIN! DEMAND MORE FROM YOURSELF AND DON'T ACCEPT MEDIOCRITY, YOU'RE WORTHY. IF OTHERS MANAGED TO GET IT, FIND YOUR WAY TOO. ” You take this advice remember; the Sage way is the safe way.
