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.
