  • #019 - How To Invest: Essential Advice To Help You Start Investing And Grow Your Money

    There are plenty of reasons you should save your hard-earned money. For one, it’s usually your safest bet, and it’s the best way to avoid losing any cash along the way. It’s also easy to do, and you can access the funds quickly when you need them. Despite its perks, saving does have some drawbacks, including:

    • Returns are low, meaning you could earn more by investing (but there’s no guarantee you will.)
    • Because returns are low, you may lose purchasing power over time, as inflation eats away at your money.

      • In this episode, we are joined by Faith Kwamboka, a portfolio manager in one of the largest asset management companies in Kenya and Billy Ouko an Audit associate in one of the big four accounting firms in Kenya. Join us as they take you through the basics of investing and growing your money to help you build a sound financial foundation for yourself and your loved ones.

    • #018 - Finding Meaning

      “Don't aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue.”  psychiatrist Viktor Frankl


      This week's episode was a spillover from last week's episode, we explore If you really want to find meaning, do you embrace activities that connect you with something greater such as connecting yourself with the pursuit of knowledge by working toward a college degree, committing yourself to the care of others through volunteer work, dedicating yourself to the expression of love through raising a family, or any number of other endeavours or should meaning preceded you taking up said endeavours?

      • #016 - Toxic Relationships
        A healthy relationship involves mutual care, respect and compassion, an interest in our partner’s welfare and growth, and the ability to share control and decision-making, in short, a shared desire for each other’s happiness. A healthy relationship is a safe relationship, where we can be ourselves without fear, a place where we feel comfortable and secure. A toxic relationship, on the other hand, is an unsafe place. It is characterized by insecurity, self-centeredness, dominance and control. We risk our mental health and well being by staying in such a relationship. To say that a toxic relationship is dysfunctional is, to be honest, an understatement.
        In this weeks episode, we try to dissect the anatomy of a toxic relationship. Hope you enjoy it.

      • #015 - Is Uhuru really wrong?

        following the #IMFStopLoaningKenya #StopGivingKenyaLoans #IMFloan and other such trends on social media, it is clear to see that a lot of Kenyans are unhappy with the way government finances are being spent. Looking for a scapegoat, many Kenyans chose to air out their frustration on his excellency, Jayden himself, and accuse him of being a bad president.

        In this week's episode, we try to determine if Jayden is truly the evil mastermind Kenyans make him out to be or he's just a victim of circumstance and if the Kenyan economic apocalypse we keep fearing is real or vastly exaggerated.

              After WhatsApp announced the update of its policies to share with Facebook, millions of users migrated to other messaging apps. The two favourites have been Telegram and Signal, apparently for offering greater privacy. With some of the rumours going around, we wanted to have a discussion about some of the common questions we have received.
