VM WealthWise Podcast

By now, Wealth Building is definitely the aim of the game for all of us, and we want to remind our Diaspora that they can get in on it! Over the last 3 Seasons, we have gone over many options for building wealth in Jamaica and other countries. 

But why should you? Well, please turn up your radio and listen in as our guests; Peta Gaye Russell Peart, Team Lead for Premium Wealth Sales @ VM Wealth Management and Michael Johnson, Deputy Business Development Manager & Senior Marketing Officer @ the Jamaica Stock Exchange.

Many of us are familiar with exchanging our foreign currencies over the counter at various VM Building Society locations. However, did you know that Businesses could benefit from this service?

In this episode of the VM Wealthwise Podcast, Megretta Hall,  who is the Manager for all things  F/X Trading @ the VM Group, teaches us all things about VM FX Trading!

On this episode of the VM WealthWise Podcast, we will discuss, How to get listed on the Jamaica Stock Exchange.

Why stop at being an entrepreneur with a successful business when you can expand your wealth by offering stocks in your company?

For this diverse topic, we’ve sought out the people who deal with this daily or monthly. They are Romario Sterling, Assistant Manager of Capital Markets @ VM Wealth Management, and Marc Ramsay, Attorney at Law @ Ramsay and Partners.

In this week's episode, we are looking at the topic "Dodge the waves OR Stay the course? - Jumping in and out of investments."

We are all looking for avenues to build wealth, but are we willing to do what it takes and make the necessary sacrifices? The truth is, one of the main avenues to achieve this wealth is to invest.

Tune in to our guests, Shanice Williams- Stock Market Investor & Trader, and David Rose - Young Investor!

To kickstart Season 3, we will be looking at the topic, "Adopting an Abundance Mindset: Invest Early, Invest Often!".

To have an abundance mindset equates to the analogy that there is always more. More to try, more to earn, and more to learn in finance. 

This week's episode will assist you in transforming your mindset into a positive one as you listen to our young guest Ajani Miller, 6th Former @ Kingston College, alongside his mother, Denise Marshall Miller - Senior Manager for Bond, Equity & Digital Asset Trading.

It is impossible to deny the role that fathers play in the stability of a child's life. More so, in teaching the important financial lessons that could aid in putting them ahead.

If you dig deeper into the stories of wealthy people, you’ll notice a pattern. Rarely will a wealthy person be able to boil down their success to a single miraculous moment. Instead, they’ll cite their mindset as the biggest reason for their prosperity. That very mindset will guide you to make the most of the money you have. In today's episode, you will delve into the mind of our Special Guest Mrs. Odetta Rockhead-Kerr, Founder & CEO of GOFFAH.
