The inaugural episode featured Zama McLaw, a prominent name within the entertainment space across Zululand, she is the driving force behind McLaw Promotions, McLaw Travel, events MC and eMpangeni Shopping Centres’ Marketing Manager. With her bubbly personality and narrative, Zama shared her remarkable journey as a young black female entrepreneur making her mark in a men’s world, highlighting the challenges she overcame and the lessons she learned along the way.
Recorded live with an engaged audience, the podcast provided a unique platform for Zama to share she journey, offer valuable advice to aspiring entrepreneurs, her peers and the public at large.

“I grew up as a happy child, too bubbly and forward then the rest of my peers, my life has always been the centre stage even in primary where everything started. When I was 8 years old I was diagnosed with ADD, which put an answer to why I was different and behaving the way I did. But growing up in a typical Zulu family my parents didn’t understand what that was, years later the bubbly personality started paying off when I finally found my niche” says Zama.
The “How We Got Here” podcast is set to become a staple in the eMpangeni and Richards Bay area, offering a refreshing perspective on entrepreneurship and leadership. By sharing the personal stories and experiences of successful founders, the podcast aims to motivate and empower listeners to pursue their own entrepreneurial dreams, learn from others and avoid making the same mistakes.
