Hi, I’m Mario Ogle

a Cultural Architect with visions of a connected and regenerated Africa. Entrepreneurship is my vehicle of change. Currently based in Cape Town. 🇿🇦

Work

Together with my wife 🥰, Eden Myrrh, I help businesses with their strategy at MSIZI.

I’m the creative director at TWOBOP. 💰🕹 A stalwart lifestyle brand using blockchain technology to empower and change our community at large.

HAPPY STUDIOS 😎 is where I design things.

In my spare 😅 time, you can find me crate diggin’ for Very Good Plus. 💽

Interests

I love hiking. 🥾⛰ There’s nothing quite like the outdoors to silence the everyday hustle.

Sometimes I put my inner ramblings on paper and write on Medium. ✍🏾💆🏾‍♂️

If I’m not being an entrepreneur, I’m serving at church. Jesus is KING. 🥇🙏🏾

Twitter 🐦 is where you will likely find my somewhat unsolicited opinion and or life updates.

In my previous life, I was a recording artist — I wrote, produced and performed my music all the across the country and sometimes abroad. I was nominated for a SAMA 🏆 and my debut album sold Gold. I’m indebted to my music career — without it, my current network (read net worth) and how I understand people (think consumer behaviour) would not be in tune. You can listen to my discography on music streaming platforms. 🎧🎤

Instagram 📸 has become my least favourite social media to maintain, but every now and then, for your visual pleasure, I post a work.

Dreams

I think about the future 🚀 (4IR, Blockchain, Web 3.0 etc.) ALOT, I guess you can call me a budding futurist?! How will it affect my seed and the generations to come? — Here I imagine myself speaking at conferences or webinars. That would be cool!

I’ve you’re a dreamer 🌌 like me, send me a mail 📧 — I’d love to explore how we can build our community, together.
