Hedley Manicom on the Business of Entertainment

A Journey of Change, Creativity and Purpose — Thursday, 4 December at 9pm

This Thursday evening, Business of Entertainment welcomes Hedley Manicom, co-owner of Owl’s Rest Farm, for a compelling conversation about transformation, creativity, and the power of purpose-driven entrepreneurship.

Hedley and his wife, Patricia Manicom, purchased Owl’s Rest Farm in July 2016. 

What began as a “good little business” quickly evolved, under their leadership, into a destination brand known for handcrafted products, warm hospitality, and a distinctive creative signature.

During the interview, Hedley discusses a central question:

Why leave a major JSE-listed corporation for a small rural farm?

In the conversation, Hedley explores themes that drive the entertainment and entrepreneurial journey alike:

• Change & Refocus — the courage to rewrite your life’s narrative
• Creative Output — why creativity matters as much in farming as in entertainment
• Education — learning as the foundation of every success
• Music — its emotional and cultural significance
• Time — how understanding it shapes a meaningful life
• Books & Knowledge — the tools for continuous reinvention
• Power vs Influence — and which one truly builds a legacy
• Success — what it really means beyond numbers and titles

He also shares the slogan he lives by and the story behind the Owl’s Rest name
