Hi there,

Sometimes things just work out. Often when it isn't planned that way. That happened yesterday when one guest arrived really early; just as I was about to start talking to another one. The excessively prompt interviewee was John Mauldin, Texas-based investment guru, superstar of the new media age. His influential emailed weekly newsletter has almost a million active subscribers.

Among Mauldin's fans is Andy Andrews, former Dean of the Wits and Henley Business Schools, who was as thrilled to meet John as I was to see them arrive simultaneously. John and Andy agreed to be interviewed together – and to focus on how to unleash human potential. The magical interview is on the Biznews stream on Soundcloud.com – the transcript and context will be published on the site over the weekend. Unmissable.

Although Marika Sboros's "Oscar the Narcissist" article has dominated the site's stats in the past week (by last night over 400 000 people had read it – talk about viral power) there's plenty of more traditional Biznews fare to get your teeth into over the weekend. Including an interview with Michael Jordaan; David Shapiro's concern that the R21bn Woolworths bid will be kiboshed by Aussie antagonism; and an excellent Thought Leader piece on Dan Ariely. Enjoy.

Best

Alec
