My Covid Journey by Nolan Pillay

Nolan Pillay is the brilliant and dynamic founder of the trademarked self-development programme: Be the BEST Version of YOURSELF running under the company StraightTalkWithNolan (Pty) Ltd in Africa. Rivalling the likes of similar international programs that have flooded the continent, Nolans life-altering system has more than just one homegrown advantage to offer.

A born South African, Nolan has an almost intuitive knowledge of the diverse range of pulses that make up the heartbeat of the African continent; and most importantly, he has been there. Much like many South Africans today, Nolans childhood was a humble one. He has seen poverty and hunger done homework by candlelight, worked multiple jobs to put food on the table and to get himself through school.

He has been down and out, unemployed, had sleepless nights worrying about keeping the roof over his familys heads. Most importantly, Nolan Pillay is the man who never gave up on his dreams and who is ready to share his personal success story with the world if only for the purpose of empowering others to achieve the same through his program.

It was at his very first job as a packer and sweeper that Nolan realised that he wanted to do more with the rest of his life. He took on extra hours at work in order to finance his studies, achieving not just one, but two diplomas and then moving on to achieve a SAP certification one of the highest qualifications in the IT world at the time.

Without having any real-life role models available to guide him, Nolan kept himself motivated by delving into whichever self-development programs he could invest in. Considering all the obstacles he went through, including Apartheid South Africa, and experiencing covid pneumonia in January 2021, spending 13 days in ICU with 58% oxygen levels and still coming out stronger than ever, Nolan believes there is more to do to make our world a better place.
