In this episode of Being a Legend, Not an Expert!, Jonny Bear dives into a busy week of updates! including the official merch drop and the latest progress on the TVET Workspace Africa app launch.

Jon reveals that the podcast’s first-ever guest is confirmed… and it’s one of the Bunga Boys, though he’s keeping which one a secret for now.

This episode also marks a special moment as Jon introduces the very first member of the Bear Brigade: Franny the First Aider, created in honour of his mum, his hero and the heart behind the Bear story.

Listeners also get a Mandinka phrase of the week, an insight into the behind-the-scenes work Jon and AI Bear have been doing (from launching the newsletter to designing merch), and a chat about hearing Joe Rogan speak on the end of the world! raising the question: If things ever went sideways, wouldn’t you want AI on your side too?

Jon also explains his Mandinka name, Sabalarlba, and the Gambian friend who gave it to him, before turning to a real conversation about immigration challenges in England and how TVET Workspace Africa tackles the root causes by building opportunity, skills, and futures in-country, giving young people a reason to stay and thrive.

A packed episode with heart, humour, culture, and purpose everything the Bear Brigade stands for.
