I'm so excited to finally have this part of my conversation with one of my best friends about money and friendships.
In this conversation, Kemi and I not only model money conversation, but we tackle insightful aspects of money and friendships. Our conversation covers:

• Her first financial aha moment
• Graduating from her MBA with student loans and how she started her path to paying them off
• How and why she decided to pay off debt and still invest at the same time
• What a money circle is and her first experience getting into a money circle
• Money circle vs forums
• Important traits for a successful money circle
• When to put a legal framework in place before investing with friends
• How she joined of her first formal investment club and the power of investing collectively (stronger purchase power, pooling capital, access to information, access to network)
• Importance of taking action and personal responsibility
• What makes her advance vs. retreat during money conversations?
• Our experience with investing together - how we did it, how it went awry, what we learnt from it, and how it impacted our friendship
• How the diaspora can find opportunities to invest at home/on the continent and beyond
