If there were an award for the South African executive suite's most dedicated philanthropist, IQ Business Group's Adam Craker would surely be a strong contender. The overachieving businessman - he was the youngest Exco member during Dimension Data's glory days and had a key position in the Supergroup turnaround - plays an active role in numerous charities, serving on directorates of half a dozen of them.

Adam tackles another CEOSleepout this year and has issued a couple of challenges., He wants his old pals at DiData and the 900 South African alumni of Swiss business school IMD (whose group he chairs) to join him at Liliesleaf on the 11th of July. In this podcast he explains what the "sleepouters" can expect that night, answers critics who have told him it's a waste of time, and explains why, after his first experience, he has never looked at a homeless person the same way.
