Joining me on today's episode is my husband, Henchard Mashigo, and we are sharing ALL of the lessons we've learnt from our first investment property. We've made some gains but there are things that we also overlooked (and burned our fingers) despite doing research on our investment.

Some of the topics we touch on include:

- The highs and lows of our investment journey

- The importance of choosing the right location

- Why choosing the right developer matters

- The importance of partnering with a trusted rental agent Connect with Lungile on LinkedIn

According to research, financial trauma is a reality for one-third of millennials today, but what is it? How do you identify that you have financial trauma, how does it impact your wealth creation journey and how can you get financial healing? In this episode, I am joined by author, financial coach, and university lecturer Thembisa Luthuli and we strip down financial trauma!

I personally gained so much perspective from this conversation and it gave me a lot to think about as I firm up my financial goals for the new year. Buy Thembisa's book here

Today, I have an interesting conversation with Andrew Katzwinkel, CEO and Founder of LayUp Technologies. We chat about the return of the lay-bye - what happened to this efficient way of buying goods without credit, and who is bringing it back?

We learn about the benefits of using lay-bye as a payment solution and Andrew shares some smart tips on how you can take advantage of specials (and even travel deals) while using lay-bye. After this conversation, I am firmly in the camp of making lay-bye cool again!

In this episode, I have a wholesome conversation with Palesa Hlabahlaba, CEO and Founder of RPH consulting (a business consulting firm). We wanted to talk about the importance of small businesses getting advisory services, but this conversation ended up being a lot more!

We chat about fulfilling your purpose, redefining success, and why “quitting” should be reframed, especially when a job doesn’t align with your dream. We even touch on how her company, RPH consulting helps people start, scale and make wise money choices in their businesses.

We answer the age-old question: "How do I finance my business as a SME?"

SMEs often don’t have the capital to make the most of instant opportunities that become available to them as traditional funding from banks may not always be a solution. In this episode, I am joined by a formidable team from Geddes Capital (CEO, Brent Geddes and CIO Warren Deats) who strive to raise the bar when it comes to helping entrepreneurs raise capital for their businesses.

In this conversation, we strip down some of the funding challenges faced by SMEs in South Africa, alternative funding solutions that are available, how to engage with alternative funders and we even touch on possible funding solutions for your side hustle. Yeap! That’s right. Tune in and listen.

Over the past few years, sports betting has emerged from the shadows and into the mainstream. A lot of people are starting to dabble in it. We have seen terrible stories of addiction and suicide linked to this but also triumphs and people getting to pay bills and pay off their school fees because of a bet.

So, with millions of sports fans looking to enter the betting market for the first time, I have brought someone who can help us understand it and then you can choose whether this is something that you want to do or not.

Today, I am joined by Mpumelelo Lembede, who has been in the online sports betting industry for over 10 years, and he will be helping us strip down sports betting!
