In this episode of Capable, Thato Rampedi sits down with George Mnguni, better known as Okay Wasabi, for a conversation about building a career before there was a blueprint for the South African creator economy. George reflects on growing up in Vosloorus, discovering storytelling through his mother, leaving university to pursue a path of his own, and navigating an industry that was still finding its feet. He opens up about the business behind being a creator, learning when to say no, working with brands, and the lessons that came from turning creativity into a career. The conversation also explores his evolution from creator and comedian to entertainer and broadcaster, his love for sneakers, the pressure of constantly evolving, and the question of what comes next when you’ve already achieved some of the things you once dreamed about. Beyond Okay Wasabi the brand, George talks about ambition, adversity, relationships, success, identity and becoming more intentional with age. A conversation about taking risks before you have proof, building a life on your own terms, and figuring out what is actually worth chasing. This is Capable with Thato Rampedi.
