East Coast Breakfast, in collaboration with business growth specialist Pavlo Phitidis, returns with Season 3 of Future 50, proudly powered by FNB Business and East Coast Radio. Tune in every Tuesday at 8:10am to hear Future 50 on air, or catch the podcast, as Pavlo shines a light on ambitious businesses shaping South Africa’s economic future. Entrepreneurs remain the backbone of progress. Their resilience, innovation and drive build stronger communities, create jobs and unlock opportunity across provinces and industries. Future 50 recognises those who are building with purpose and scaling with intent. In Season 3, East Coast Breakfast and Pavlo Phitidis continue to spotlight businesses that demonstrate forward thinking growth. Each week, one business takes centre stage, sharing its journey, its challenges and the practical steps it is taking to move forward. Whether the next milestone involves attracting new customers, securing funding, strengthening supply chains, hiring specialist talent or accessing critical business insight, Pavlo connects founders with the right networks, tools and expertise to accelerate growth. Future 50 is powered by FNB Business, the help behind over 1 million unstoppable businesses. FNB supports entrepreneurs across South Africa and has been recognised as the Best SME Bank in South Africa by the Global Finance Awards for three consecutive years, including 2022, 2023 and 2024.
