In this episode, I speak to Shaq and Niaz, co-founders of Millennial money. Most millennials find managing money quite difficult. Millennial Money UK creates and curates content relating to personal finance targeted at young people. Financial empowerment often comes from better understanding and education. But not enough of us seek help in financial planning, despite the advantages it can give.Weâve all grown up with the notion that money makes the world go round, yet so few of us really feel comfortable, or qualified, to engage in the money conversation. Theyâve created a community sharing so much educational content to help people become more financially savvy. To meet your financial goals, we need to be able to better track and budget our spending, and alter our daily spending. And whilst many of us have been working from home and thus saving money on commuting, eating out and general shopping, maybe itâs time to divert most of that âsavedâ money towards investing to be able to make more money. Our finances also affect our mindset directly. Thereâs peace of mind in knowing that our finances are in good shape â and the feeling of stress when theyâre not, or when weâre not sure - so if youâre feeling like youâre in that space, this episode is perfect for you. We talk about how you can become more financially savvy with your own money, saving, investing, why you should pay yourself first and much more.

In 2020, we saw a fundamental shift in how people think about the world. This is due to the growing pressure of issues threatening human existence: climate change, income inequality, food and water shortages, fires, mental health issues and more. This is why you'll see many influencers focusing on the bigger picture as advocates.
Yumika has been in the entertainment space here in Singapore for the past 4 years and has worked with some incredible brands, including SkII, Dyson, Superdry, Clarins and much more. Sheâs also presented for various networks including the likes of MTV Asia, the Premier League and, ESPN.
She is a true eco-warrior voicing for what she stands for, including the growing issue with plastics. Motivated by her passion to do her part for sustainability and conservation, she launched her own business called Peco Bag in 2019. Peco Bags are reusable, foldable bags created from regenerated textiles.
If youâre building a career in the entertainment and modelling industry, or are interested in building a personal brand for advocacy, or just want to learn more about the sustainability industry and living a more conscious lifestyle - then this episode is for you. *Please note that my mic was faulty, so my voice may not be as clear as Yumika's in this episode.

For many of you starting or running a business, you'll also know that working a 9-5 and accepting a paycheque each month isn't going to create real assets.
Imagine playing Monopoly and never buying any assets or investments that generate income. Imagine you just went around collecting $200, giving your money to the rich, and trying to stay out of jail. That is how most people live their lives.
To gain real wealth, it's all about investing in stocks and shares, assets and real estate. Planning to buy your first real estate property can be really complicated which is why we invited Chris Bello, real estate expert on the Podcast.
We cover factors to think about when buying your first property, overcoming the down payment hurdle, building a cash flow machine and much more.
Chris also has his own podcast called the 'Entrepreneur Motivation' Podcast with over 40,000 downloads a month.
