Now imagine stepping into a colossal corporate world with its unique challenges and complex dynamics. As intimidating as it might sound, Rohan embraced this new world and managed to navigate through it like a pro. Listen closely as he spills the beans on his journey to one of the Big Four firms, the lessons learned from varied engagements, and the vital role of relationships in carving out a successful career.
If you think its all about professional life, wait till Rohan takes you through his personal life, shedding light on the intricate dance of work-life balance, maintaining connections, and finding happiness in simplicity.
Every story has its twists and turns. For Rohan, leaving the corporate world to embark on an entrepreneurial journey was a daring move. But guess what? He took the leap, confronted the fear, and dove into the world of startups and venture capital.

Perhaps the biggest game changer in my leadership has been triumphantly facing a journey with breast cancer. The moment brought me to my knees and challenged my very existence.

Michelle is a Senior Investment Officer and Head of Public and Private partnerships advisory for the Caribbean at the World Bank. The World Bank is the world's largest multilateral development bank, owned by 190 member countries, which promotes long-term economic development and poverty reduction.

I had to make intentional choices about how I want to live. And I have brought that intentionality to how I lead and the impact I want to make

She is now leading a team working on a transformational program with the Government of Jamaica to significantly advance Jamaica's development agenda through strategic partnerships and deeper

engagements with the World Bank through a $1.5 billion private sector infrastructure investment to bring to market possibly, highway, broadband, healthcare, water, sanitation, and other infrastructure

projects.

In this conversation, Michelle discusses topics such as:

• Being an infrastructure nerd
• Creating great relationships with your managers

Are you ready to turn the key to a life brimming with financial freedom, the kind of freedom that could have you retiring early, basking in the kind of lifestyle you've always envisaged for your family?

Your dreams are ripe for the taking. Just take a leaf from Ken and Mary Okoroafor's book, the ingenious minds behind The Humble Penny. Their journey from being resource-strapped, working-class immigrants to becoming the epitome of Financial Independence in their mid-30s is nothing short of inspiring. They broke free from the shackles of mortgage and charted a course towards a life filled with financial security and heartwarming moments, all thanks to a blend of relentless hard work, judicious saving, and astute investing.

The Humble Penny didnt just sprout overnight. It was nurtured from a modest 99p blog, blossoming into a beacon of financial wisdom, guiding over 5 million souls worldwide towards a healthier money mindset via their YouTube channel and Academy. The ripple effect of their endeavour is encapsulated in their transformative book, Financial Joy: Banish Debt, Grow Your Money and Unlock Financial Freedom in 10 Weeks, a testament to the power of transforming financial dreams into tangible freedom.

This is a live recording with Ken and Mary Okoroaforas as they discuss the book for the first time.
