Financially Incorrect

Agori Korbandy, founder & CEO of Nit Studio, takes us through her raw, unfiltered money and business journey, from launching her first creative studio at 21 with millionaire dreams, to losing an entire year of growth to a toxic relationship that drained her finances, focus, and self-esteem. She opens up about burning through her earnings, funding a partner’s lifestyle, and pretending to “keep up” with friends, all while navigating early entrepreneurship in Kenya.

A robbery at her studio became the turning point. With her parents’ support, she rebuilt, hired staff, upgraded equipment, and transformed both her systems and mindset. Leaving the club scene, setting boundaries, embracing discipline, and finally giving herself space to think marked the start of her true glow-up.

Today, Nit Studio has grown into a multi-arm business with photography, videography, studio hire, a marketing agency, print shop, and academy operating in Kenya and Uganda. Agori shares her insights on financial maturity, building stability, and creating a business that works for you and not the other way around. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, clarity, and smart entrepreneurship.

In this episode, Ed Magema, co-founder of Universe and senior strategist at NCBA sits with Barrack to unpack his journey from a humble childhood of strong tea mornings and githeri lunches to developing elite study systems that took him to Harvard. He explains why he chose to leave the U.S. during the era of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, return home, and build his career in Kenya. Ed opens up about his first failed print-media startup, his rise as a strategy consultant at Dalberg, and how he became one of the early builders behind Cheaper Cash, helping scale it to a million users in under a year before walking away due to toxic culture. He shares the depression that followed, how writing How to Get Into Harvard became therapy and service, and how he reinvested his savings and Harvard network into building Universe, a homegrown media-tech platform for Africa’s creators. Ed breaks down his current money philosophy (10% emergency fund, 30% investments, the rest for life and family), his belief in building over hoarding, and his long-term mission to become a dollar billionaire by constructing an African-owned media + data ecosystem that can shape narratives and power the continent’s role in the AI era. An inspiring conversation about conviction, resilience, and the courage to build from where you are.

Kendi sits down with Barrack to share how growing up in a single-room mabati house, walking long distances to school, and constantly relying on other people shaped her earliest beliefs about money and possibility. She opens up about battling a deep scarcity mindset, earning a first-class degree in finance only to realize she hated the field, and taking an 8K-a-month internship instead of a secure banking path. She talks about discovering her creative side, helping a vendor sell at a flea market while in university, surviving 40-hour workdays during the COVID agency era, and eventually launching her own gifting business — the one that made her KSh 1 million profit and completely rewrote her money story. This episode is a raw, inspiring journey from survival to intention, proving that where you start doesn’t have to determine where you end up.
