5B NICK GOES INSIDE - THE COLD CALLING MACHINE

Most of us know the frustration of spam calls, robocalls, cold calls, and the anxiety of seeing an unknown number on our phones. In this edition of Nick Goes Inside, we explore the world of direct marketing with two industry insiders who have worked across call centres, software, data management, compliance, and sales. Before diving into the tactics and mechanics behind these calls, we start with the basics: where companies get your number, how the industry justifies its practices, and how much control you really have once your personal data enters the system.

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY (18 JUNE 26)

She could be mistaken for a stern academy principal, a daytime therapist with perfect lighting, or the woman most likely to ruin your self-esteem with one look. Instead, she built a kingdom where beauty became curriculum, panic became entertainment, and ambition had to pose through the pain. Who is this glamorous headmistress of televised pressure?

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY (17 JUNE 26)

He looks like a nursery-rhyme extra, sounds like a street-corner suspect, and survives like a war veteran in a children’s kingdom. Tiny, breakable-looking, and wildly uncooperative, he keeps ending up in royal messes far above his pay grade. Who is this miniature rebel whose main talent is refusing to crumble under pressure?

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY (16 JUNE 26)

She came from Chicago discipline, climbed through elite halls, then entered the world’s most photographed residence without ever shrinking. Part lawyer, part cultural compass, she made grace look muscular and public service look personal. Who is this memoir-making matriarch who turned poise into power?

5B MONEY MONDAYS - WHAT DON’T THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT MONEY_

Last week on Money Mondays, Xoli and Gerald started asking the dangerous question: What don’t they want you to know about money? This week, we take that question straight into the boardroom. Banks, insurance companies and big corporates love selling us convenience, security, rewards and peace of mind. But somewhere between the admin fees, policy clauses, loyalty points and “free” benefits, your money may be working harder for them than it is for you. So today, Money Mondays asks: What do banks, insurance companies and corporates not want YOU to know about money?   Xoli and Gerald are helping the Money Babies read the room, read the contract, and most importantly, read the fine print. Because sometimes the biggest money lesson is not how much you earn. It’s knowing who is earning from you.

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY (15 JUNE 26)

This man doesn’t start businesses, he collects boss levels. One minute he’s selling the future on wheels, the next he’s launching metal into orbit and tweeting like the group chat has nuclear codes. He behaves like a Bond villain who got addicted to memes.
