In this episode of Unscripted with Raygan, Kyei Mensah takes us behind the scenes of his journey as a musician and into the business of music.

We talk about how his journey started, growing up around music, his experiences with awards and recognition, and the lessons he has learned along the way.

Kyei also shares his perspective on Ghana’s gospel music industry, why artists need to build communities instead of only chasing big numbers, the importance of consistency, and why musicians need to understand the business behind their art.

We break down how money moves through music - streaming and distribution, publishing, royalties, production, promotion, and concerts - and discuss the costs that can come with releasing and promoting a song.

It’s a conversation about music, business, creativity, community, recognition, and building a career that lasts.

You don't need to be rich to start investing. But you do need to understand what you're putting your money into.

In this conversation, Seyram Aku Ofori-Atta Ndinya and Mimi Anane-Appiah from Investment Friends break down investing in simple terms and answer some of the questions many Ghanaians have about building wealth.

We discuss:

• Why chasing high returns without understanding risk can be dangerous

• The difference between investing and trading

• How your risk tolerance should influence your investment decisions

• Whether you really need a lot of money to start investing

• How mutual funds work

• What ETFs are and how they can help you diversify

• The investment options available to Ghanaians

• How to think about investing based on your goals and timeline

• Why you should verify an investment company before giving them your money

One of the biggest takeaways? Higher potential returns usually come with higher risk. So before asking, “How much can I make?”, you also need to ask, “How much can I afford to lose?”

Watch the full conversation and rethink how you approach your money.

Dr. Vanessa Atikpui never planned to become a medical doctor.

Growing up, her dream was to become a fashion designer. But as the only daughter of a father who was already a medical professional, she found herself being nurtured into medicine. She eventually studied medicine in China, navigated the challenges of being a foreign student, faced failures and retakes, and graduated as the youngest doctor at the time.

In this episode of Unscripted with Raygan, Dr. Vanessa opens up about the pressure of becoming a young female doctor, what it was like being the daughter of a prominent medical professional, and why she chose to redefine what being a doctor could look like for her.

We also get into the things she has learned from practising medicine, some important conversations about sleep, everyday addictions, heart health and women's health, why 8 hours of sleep is ideal but isn't always feasible

And for Ghanaian women, Dr. Vanessa has a simple reminder: your body is uniquely yours. Don't compare it to anyone else's, and make sure the health information you follow is verified.

This is a conversation about becoming, adapting, taking care of yourself, and finding meaning in the circumstances life gives you.

Your salary isn't the only thing that determines your financial future.

In this conversation, we sit down with financial expert Desmond Bredu to talk about the money skills most of us were never taught and how to actually start building wealth with what you have.

From earning and budgeting to saving, investing, debt, and multiple sources of income, we break down the practical decisions that can change how you manage money.

We talk about:

• Why relying on one source of income can leave you vulnerable

• Why the average millionaire has multiple sources of income

• The 4 key money questions: how much you make, spend, save, and how you can improve

• Why saving and investing are not the same thing

• How someone earning GH₵1,000 can think about saving and investing

• How you can start investing with as little as GH₵50

• The different types of mutual funds available in Ghana

• When debt can be used to build wealth and when it doesn't make sense

• How inflation quietly erodes the value of your money

• Why building wealth isn't only about making more money

• Why money is a skill that needs to be deliberately learned

• Why due diligence matters before you invest

The goal isn't simply to make more money. It's to learn how to make money, keep money and ultimately build wealth.

Watch the full conversation and let us know: what money skill do you wish you had learned earlier?
