In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Msaidizi, an insightful investment banker from New York. Together, we demystify various financial concepts and engage in a candid discussion on how to strategically invest your money for sustainable wealth building. 📈

Our conversation covers a broad range of investment topics, including identifying optimal investment strategies, understanding Money Market Funds (MMFs), building a robust stock portfolio, and much more.

Welcome to our first episode of this season! 🚀

For our very first episode,  I teamed up with Alex Asiedu, a brilliant investment banker with 20+ years under his belt. We got down to the nitty-gritty of personal finance including topics such as making a budget that actually works, building that emergency fund to cover you on the wild seasons, and striking that sweet balance between saving for tomorrow and enjoying today. 🎉

Uncle Alex isn't just smart; he's hilarious and has tons of great advice. We had a great time recording this and we hope that this chat inspires you to start or accelerate your finance journey.💪

But wait, there's more! We're all about turning words into action. So, I've put together a free finance toolkit  just for you with awesome tools to get your finances in shape:

AIAA is bacckkk for Season 2!!!!!

This season we have one main mission, making you thrive. Adulting may be the ultimate ghetto but with some information here and there and some wisdom from people who are killing it at adulting, I am sure we can make it a bit more bearable. We are going to be talking about personal finance tips to make your money work, investments 101, getting that offer during your next interview, pursuing an unconventional career, startups and so much more. And we are not just doing talk, we are also offering you a bunch of free resources to help you maneuver all these spaces.

Here is a little sneak peek to show you all we have for you this season.

And just like that, the 2023 season has come to an end.

On our last episode of the season and the year, join Glo and me as we reflect on the year that was, the lessons learnt, the highs, and lows, our hopes for the new year and everything else in between. This episode is absolute vibes (we thoroughly enjoyed recording it and hope you love listening to it) and is a perfect way to end the year.

Different people lean on different things as they do this adulting thing, it can be ourselves, finances, family, faith or a combination of all. For me, faith is the biggest thing. It is what I hold onto when seasons get rough, it defines my values, how I treat people, show up in the world and my big why (Because why the heck are we here).

In this episode, join my friends, Kyle and Mwangaza, as they share their faith journey, how their faith defines and drives them, encourages them and supports them as they do this adulting thing.

I hope you enjoy this, learnt a thing or two or felt encouraged.

Wami, Kyle and Mwangaza.

I feel like parenting is the most adulting thing ever, the ultimate AIAA moment. There is a whole human being that you bring into the world and that is entirely your responsibility. 

On this episode, join Kay Sam and I as we unravel the emotions, challenges, and joys of becoming a parent from a male standpoint. How does fatherhood reshape one's identity? What steps are taken to prepare for this life-altering responsibility? And is it possible to foster a genuine friendship with your child?

Kay Sam not only talks about fatherhood, but we will explore other experiences such as co-parenting, losing a parent, community, masculinity and so much more. We hope you enjoy this episode, laugh, feel seen in the conversations and that you picked up some wisdom here and there. 

Share your thoughts, reflections, and insights from this compelling episode on Instagram.

We don't always believe we deserve good things, we ask ourselves, who am I to get this or be here? And once you add the complexity of growing up poor and struggling to survive, these feelings get even more complicated. We question ourselves, the rooms we are in and constantly limit how big the world is and what we can get from it.

In this episode, join Faith and me as we talk about our experiences with these concepts and our evolution to a place of believing we deserve good things.

Remember, you are worthy !

Wami & Faith

Have you realised that the world feels like its on fire or close to being on fire ? We are having wars, global economic recessions, extreme climate events, so much divisiveness and don't get me started on the state of most of our political systems. Maybe these things were always there and we just weren't conscious, but if we are being honest, it can feel like a lot.

On this episode, join Karl and I as we reflect on the state of the world as we enter adulting, how we try and stay positive and share some special lessons we are learning about change, the journey and why we can never stop hoping for it to be better.

I learnt so much during this conversation and I hope you do too as well.

XX,

Wamaitha & Karl

Ithaca Poem by C.P Cathafy

Follow us on Instagram

AIAA, we just graduated.

Graduation is a huge feat, and one that we should all be proud of when we achieve. However after spending almost 20 years of our lives in the educational system, the ending can feel a bit meeehhh and weird. It can also be lonely to now be thrown into this big, wide world and now be expected to know exactly what to do. It represents the changing nature of our relationship with our friends, lovers, parents and life how we know it. On this episode, join Gracie and I as we reflect on our AIAA moments around graduation, things we wish we did differently and lessons we are learning past graduation on life and everything else in between.

PS: Its cold in Nairobi, we both had colds so... 🤧.

As always, keep the conversation going on instagram at @aiaa_podcast

From helping an ex get back with the girl he cheated on me with to doing a man's laundry after he played rugby in the rain to show that I am "Wife Material", your girl has truly clowned on these streets. 🤦🏽‍♀️

On this week's episode, join me (Wamaitha) as I talk about the lessons I have learnt about love from my exes, healing, truly learning to see and believe in my worth and when healthy love comes, learning to sit in it and enjoy it (definitely a work in progress 😅)

This was such a fun episode to record as I reflected on how far I have come and how much I have grown. And honestly, it also made me want to hug my 17/18 year old self, cause waaahh, my love, we have come from far. ❤

Disclaimer: I am in no way, shape or form implying that I was perfect in the relationships. I had my own flaws and had my own growing up to do. I am simply talking about my own experiences and how as I have grown older, I can take a step back and see the multiple issues in these experiences. I am also not saying these people are inherently bad people. They were not the healthiest experience for me but they might also have changed and evolved from when I interacted with them (actually really hope they did). T for Tenks.
