Most people are not broke because they’re lazy, they’re broke because they were taught wrong.

In this explosive episode of the Masterminds Podcast, Richie Mensah sits with Obeng Darko, a financial educator and author redefining how Africans understand money, value, and power. Together, they break down the myths that keep people trapped in survival mode, and reveal how mindset, systems, and history shape your financial reality.

This is more than a money conversation. It’s a mental reset.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The biggest lies we were taught about money and wealth
How African education systems condition poverty mindsets
Why “working hard” isn’t the same as “building wealth”
The real meaning of financial freedom
How to use knowledge, discipline, and structure to build lasting wealth
