Consolee Nishimwe is a survivor of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and lived through the horrors of that genocide at the age of fourteen. Consolee suffered insurmountable physical and emotional torture for three months, hiding from place to place to evade capture and certain death. In the end, she miraculously survived with her mother and younger sister, but her father and three young brothers were savagely murdered.
Consolee’s miraculous and inspiring story of survival is a grim testament of hope and faith triumphing over tragedy and provides lessons that will help anyone who is grappling with difficulties in their life. She is a committed speaker on the genocide, a defender of global women’s rights, and an advocate for other genocide survivors.
This conversation contains very difficult topics, so be aware. I also want to make you aware of the darkness around us, as it can lead us to understand the light. This powerful conversation will move you and show you that even in the darkest times, hope can be a light to guide us.

This is a jaw-dropping conversation about the reality of the world today, from what’s happening in Russia, and what’s happening in the United States, to some chilling predictions. As you can hear in my questions, I was very intrigued and quite frankly shook by some of his answers.
Robert has just released his new book 'The Fourth Man: The Hunt for a KGB Spy at the Top of the CIA and the Rise of Putin's Russia' which is a fascinating read and I highly recommend it.

Saray Khumalo made history when she became the first black African woman to climb Mount Everest. In this conversation, you’ll learn how Saray tried not once, not twice, but three times to summit Everest before she was successful. It reminds me of that Winston Churchill quote “Never, never, never give up”.
If we could all build such resilience in our lives, we could truly do even more extraordinary things. One line for Saray I will never forget is that “It always seems impossible until it’s done”.
