enowned actor, businessman, philanthropist and politician Arnold
Schwarzenegger will featured on the popular Mentorship Challenge
with host Marc Wainer. The program is showcased on local television
channels, eNCA and e.tv.
The Mentorship Challenge, founded by Redefine Properties aims to inspire
and educate locals. Through the challenge, ordinary South Africans are able
to connect with leaders in a range of industries from architecture to fashion.
Mentee’s are able to engage with their mentor via an interactive online
platform. Mentors provide valuable insight and wisdom in the industry,
equiping entrepreneurs with key tools. Top business leaders in the country are
able to provide crucial aid to local business trailblazers.
Schwarzenegger arrived in South Africa for the annual Arnold Classic Africa,
which takes place in Johannesburg every May. The event is a large health and
fitness expo, featuring professional bodybuilding, strength, combat sports and
more.
Wainer comments on Schwarzenegger’s achievements. “Born to humble
beginnings, he became a champion body-builder winning Mr. Universe five
times and then reinvented himself to become an A-list movie star, moving then
into politics to be the Governor of one of the richest states in the US, California,
twice. The state’s economy rivals the United Kingdom’s and if it were a country,
it would be ranked 5th in the biggest economies,” he said.
He adds, “Arnold is a legend, he is an epitome of what one can achieve with
some help. It is a matter of simply asking for it.”
Schwarzenegger has been vocal about the aid that he received to get him
where he is today, in the foreward for Tim Ferris’ book Tools of Titan he wrote, “I
am not a self-made man. I got a lot of help.”
“Like everyone, to get to where I am, I stood on the shoulders of giants. My life
was built on a foundation of parents, coaches, and teachers; of kind souls who
lent couches or gym back rooms where I could sleep; of mentors who shared
wisdom and advice; of idols who motivated me from the pages of magazines
(and, as such, my life grew from personal interaction),” adds Schwarzenegger
Wainer built JSE listed and diversified real estate trust, Redefine Properties.
and is currently the Executive Director of the company.
The Mentorship Challenge is now in its second season and expects a high
volume of applications from both mentors and mentee’s.
