A moment of thanks to this random stranger for allowing me to explain why I named “Good Things Guy” what I did… and why that name eventually became me. Also, be nicer on the internet. Don’t let being kak become your legacy.

Are you in the market for more good news? Then @brentlindeque might be your guy! After turning a reckless social media challenge into a random act of kindness in 2015, Brent founded the Good Things Guy platform with the idea of sharing good news about South Africa. @edithkimani caught up with Brent at this year's Global Media Forum in Bonn. #gmf #gmf2024 #globalmediaforum #goodthingsguy #goodnews #goodthings #southafrica

I honestly can’t believe I’m writing this… but Good Things Guy turned 10 years old this year.
What started as a simple idea, just sharing good news, somehow grew into a movement that changed my life and, I hope, helped shift the narrative for so many others, too.
In this episode, I reflect on the moments that shaped the journey, the lessons I didn’t expect to learn, and why choosing to focus on the good changed everything for me.
It’s about showing up, even when it’s hard.
About purpose.
And about believing that good things are always worth sharing.
Thank you for being part of this story. 💛
Here’s to 10 years… and everything still to come.

The human spirit is a powerful thing, especially when it refuses to be defined by a single moment, no matter how devastating that moment may have been.
On this week’s ‘Good Things with Brent Lindeque’, we sit down with Kelvin van Baalen, an incredible South African who is a flipping inspirational human.
Kelvin survived a tragic paragliding accident that left him fighting for his life, spending 413 days in ICU, being resuscitated 9 times along the way, having 27 surgeries and facing a medical aid bill that climbed to a staggering R21 million. Against all odds, he didn’t just survive, he rebuilt his life, found joy again, and now shares his journey with humour, honesty and a deep appreciation for simply being here. He was just 21 years old.

Most people know the Owl Rescue Centre for saving owls… but their work goes far beyond that.
In this clip from the latest Good Things Guy podcast, Brendan Murray shares one of the many wildlife rescue stories, including helping a baboon in need.
From owls to baboons and other vulnerable wildlife, the team is dedicated to protecting animals that share our natural spaces.
It’s a powerful reminder that conservation is about every creature, big or small.
