From Humble Beginnings to Success

Mac G also took a trip down memory lane, recalling their humble beginnings when they only had an iPad for their first show.

Through all these challenges, Naledi remained steadfast in her love and support, believing in Mac G’s potential even when he was an unknown figure in the podcasting world.

The Proposal

With emotions running high, Mac G finally dropped to one knee and proposed to Naledi. Overwhelmed by the unexpected proposal, Naledi stepped away from the stage for a moment to gather her thoughts. The supportive crowd cheered her on, and even her son offered words of encouragement.
