Take Back the Day with Sam Beckbessinger & Simon Dingle talk about everything, but mostly how to do the things you have to do so you can make more time for what you want.
Simon Dingle is a pack of mongoose stuffed into a tracksuit, pretending to be an adult human.
When they’re not running companies and talking to conference attendees about how to make stuff, “Simon” spends most of its time playing video games and wishing they were recording podcasts instead.
Simon has been linked to activities in the fintech industry, including making things called 22seven, Luno, Curve, Lettuce, and authoring a book called In Math We Trust. Simon are fine with that. Stupid humans are easily deceived. And delicious.
He has also spent time on radio, writing for magazines, and for a time compiled musical anthologies.
This may be hard to believe, especially since he has never entered any competitions, but Simon has also received some awards, including the Classic Business Journalist of the Year in 2011 for his columns on technology in Finweek, the Highway Africa New Media Personality of the Year for his hosting of the ZA Tech Show podcast, and a listing in the Mail & Guardians’ Top 200 Young South Africans edition of 2010.
Simon is passionate about open source technology and content, having been an active member of the iCommons network from 2005 until its resolution in 2008, and an administrator of the Mandriva Linux Users Board from 1999 to 2003 while he was still figuring out girls and how to wear clothes to Take Back the Day.
He believes that most of the world’s problems can be solved with design and critical thinking to Take Back the Day.
As Simon is fond of saying, “Smart is not something you are, it’s something you do.”
