The Go-To Guy Diary - Week 13

Time flies when you’re spending your days juggling stories, people, and a few cats! Here’s a look back at another jam-packed week with The Go-To Guy team – from inspiring interviews to hearts overflowing with love (yes Johané, we’re talking about you!).

StroomStories Highlights

March 25 – Dean from Dean’s DécorWe said goodbye to just furniture and hello to a powerful story of faith and new beginnings. Pieter sat down with Dean, the creative force behind Dean’s Décor, and it turned into a heartfelt conversation about taking brave steps and starting fresh. Dean’s Décor is more than just tables and couches – it’s full of soul.

March 27 – Spiritual Talk Ep. 25: “The Lost Self”Pieter and Bennie dug deep in this week’s Spiritual Talk episode, exploring the topic: The Lost Self – More than an Outward Image. A powerful reminder that who we are on the outside isn’t always the full story.

SportStroom – Sports with a Story

March 25 – Ep. 14: Dan “Popo” ViljoenIf you love rugby stories with a healthy dose of nostalgia, this one’s for you. Dan “Popo” Viljoen took us back to the glory days of Western Transvaal rugby – full of pride, passion, and incredible memories.

March 27 – Prof. Du Toit Loots (Part 2!)He’s back! Prof. Du Toit Loots returned with even more insights into sports supplements, nutrition, and the building blocks of a healthier lifestyle. If this doesn’t inspire you to hit the gym, nothing will!

Cat Therapy @ PAWS

We popped in at PAWS again this week – and what a joy! Their free-roaming cattery is a peaceful haven where cats roam freely while waiting for their forever homes. You can visit, cuddle some kitties, and maybe even meet your new furry best friend. Donations are always welcome to help give these animals the care they deserve.

We’re Hiring – Twice!

Live Stream & Content Producer - We’re looking for a confident, creative storyteller who’s comfortable on camera and excited about creating content. If this sounds like you – come join our fun, family-like team in Potchefstroom!

Sales Position - We’ve also opened up a new sales position for someone who loves chatting with people and helping clients find exactly what they need. Some things are just better in person – and that’s why this role exists!

Helping Hands at Harmonie & Immergroen

We visited our friends at the Harmonie & Immergroen Retirement Villages – only to discover that some of the elderly residents are without warm water due to broken geysers. But don’t worry – The Go-To Guy (and the community!) is already getting involved to help fix it. We’ve got your back, Ouma and Oupa.

Team Updates – From Babies to Bosses

Johane, our new mom, shared a touching update on the indescribable love she’s experiencing on her motherhood journey. If you weren’t already feeling mushy, you will now.

Katryn continues to challenge and inspire us as she learns and grows in her journey with deafness. Sign language is quickly becoming a second language in the Jansen van Rensburg house – and honestly, we’re all learning so much from her.

Oh, and one more thing – our boss Jan (a.k.a. Frans) is heading back to South Africa on the 7th of April! We can’t wait to have him back, although international travel never agrees with him – so we’re expecting the usual flu on arrival. Bring tissues, Jan!

That’s a wrap on Week 13 – stories, smiles, and so much heart. Until next week – stay kind, stay curious, and stay connected.
