  • Love it!

    Since moving to Dubai, this is my regular fix of no nonsense information to keep in touch with SA. Always look forward to a new episode and it I’ve learnt quite a bit too! Sometimes a little cynical, but overall great!

  • Copy & paste generic bland podcaster

    Bunch of guys sharing their standard misogyny and right leaning ideology. Standard gym bro talk littered with intentional offensive comments for bait. Yawn.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#GCSLIVE |MONEY TALKS, INTEL WALKS/ MUNYA, COLONEL CHRIS WYATT & BEN Part 2
Q: What investment approach do you recommend for long-term growth?
His guidance centers on low-cost, diversified index funds (like S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, MSCI All Country World) and maintaining a long time horizon to compound wealth, rather than chasing quick wins.
#GCSLIVE |MONEY TALKS, INTEL WALKS/ MUNYA, COLONEL CHRIS WYATT & BEN Part 2
Q: What is the state of play in South Africa's economy and the savings culture there?
He argues there is no real saving culture, but emphasizes that showing people concrete numbers and steps can spark action, and highlights the importance of starting small with consistent saving and investing.
#GCSLIVE |MONEY TALKS, INTEL WALKS/ MUNYA, COLONEL CHRIS WYATT & BEN Part 2
Q: Tell us about you and what inspired you to start making financial content.
Munya describes his background as a financial advisor, his Zimbabwean roots, studying in Manchester, and his mission to demystify finance for ordinary people who aren't being taught this in school.
#GCSLIVE | Boerewors, Aliens, Dead Or Alive | Ass for Womans Day & Roger Racks Part 2
Q: What's your opinion on aliens? Do you think they're real or could there be something else at play?
The guest expresses belief that life likely exists somewhere in the vast universe, but suggests that what people commonly call aliens could be manifestations of a greater, perhaps spiritual, phenomenon, with ongoing debates about evidence versus interpretation.
#GCSLIVE | Skibidi, Yeet & Everything In Between | Ben's Back & Stephen Gawking Part 2
Q: What role does art play in your life given your disability?
Art is a way to tell my stories, express humanity, and inspire others to persevere despite challenges.
