We are joined by Naairah Motala, CA(SA), Chief Operating Officer and Director at Ascension Capital Partners, a majority Black owned private equity fund manager headquartered in Pretoria.

We chat about how you can avoid burnout and approach your CA journey for a sustainable finish at the end of it all.

We also chat about:

  • The value that investors bring other than money;
  • Proprietary deal flow and networking in private equity;
  • Value creation vs value capture;
  • The scale of sacrifice and meaning;
  • Sleep's importance for your productivity and learning, and more.

Enjoy!

About the Podcast

The Road to CA Podcast
Many of us hope and believe that "it will end in CA(SA)". However, we forget that the destination is only the tip of the iceberg; and that the journey is an integral part of the dream.

This journey is what differentiates us, it is what defines us, and it is what binds us.

It is what transforms us into CAs(SA).

But what lies on the trail to the summit of CA(SA)? Undoubtedly, inspiring stories, heartfelt passion, and trailblazing perspectives. There is still so much more to showcase and uncover...

Hence, this is an exploration of the mountainous and arduous path towards CA(SA).

This is The Road to CA.
