Welcome to Episode 5 of the Faith & Finance Podcast by the Pentecostal Community Bank.

Hosted by Brenda Emmanus OBE, this episode features Debodun Osekita (Coach Debs) -investment coach, former Goldman Sachs trader, and founder of Stock Pickers Academy.

Debodun shares his journey from humble beginnings in Peckham to the world of investment banking, and why identity, mindset, and community are just as important as strategy when it comes to building wealth.

He unpacks powerful lessons on stewardship, generational wealth, investing with integrity, and why financial education is a responsibility - not a luxury. This is an honest, faith-rooted conversation about wealth building with purpose and intentionality.
