Transform workplace culture with Brent Lindeque, speaker and South Africa's Good Things Guy. Brent works with organisations to inspire positive change and purpose-driven leadership, delivering impactful storytelling backed by GQ Man of the Year recognition and global viral kindness campaigns.
Brent Lindeque, South Africa's Good Things Guy, is a dynamic advocate for positive change and the founder of the country’s top good news platform.
A decade ago, Brent’s simple act of kindness (changing the Neknomination craze to RAKnomination) went viral around the world, sparking a journey that would lead to the creation of Good Things Guy, a space dedicated to stories of hope, resilience, and inspiration.
His platform celebrates the everyday heroes and powerful narratives that embody the best of humanity, making good news accessible and relatable to all. The reach across South Africa through the website, social media, and various electronic billboards is well over 30 million.
Beyond his media, radio, and television work, Brent is passionate about charity and has participated in numerous charitable efforts, including an inspiring climb up Mount Kilimanjaro. His dedication to uplifting others recently invited him to join an exclusive lunch with Oprah, alongside three other South African journalists, for an intimate discussion.
Named one of the Top 100 Most Influential Young South Africans by Mail & Guardian, a GQ Man of the Year (in 2019), and recognised on the World’s Top 100 Innovation Success Stories list, Brent continues to inspire South Africans with kindness.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker.
