Within the past few months in Ghana, high cost of fuel, poor performance of the Ghana cedis, high cost of living and the low minimum wages have caused many Ghanaians to raise their voices in complaints or go on strike. However, that didn't deterred the government from introducing the E-levy (electronic transactions levy) and possible increase in electricity and water tariffs. In this episode, Tasha joins Judah and Martinson to discuss what the E-levy and the high tariffs are and their general opinion on how these affects the ordinary Ghanaian.

In one's pursuit of career or entrepreneurial dreams, one of the most challenging things most individuals face is balancing work and relationships. In this episode, we ask certain questions most people are probably not asking before or in relationship and we try to answer them using our some of our own life experiences and stories of others as well. We hope you enjoy this discussion and learn from it as well.
