On part 2 of our conversation with Owen Rampha we touched on life lessons from the time he was out of work and his personal finance journey and lessons. We also touched on Yarona FM and how the future looks for it -under his leadership. The future of radio, his leadership style and managing GenZ is what we also discussed. We touched on how he has failed a leader before and his favourite failure that taught him the very best business lessons. An episode on humbling life lessons on how to get back up and face life with no holding back or caring what other people would say. Happy watching.

Welcome to 2024 and to our very first episode to start the year right to help you on how to pursue those dreams and goals you have set for yourself.   Today we had Owen Rampha in our studio. Owen is the current General Manager at Yarona Fm, a local radio station here in Botswana.   He is infact one of our legendary radio broadcasters in our country and absolute honor to have to interview him. We tapped into Owen's life and professional journey -an absolute refreshing one to listen to as he shared extensively on the importance of knowing your calling in life and doing everything to ensure your pursue it.   The importance of fighting for the life and career you desire, by writing it down, visualising it daily and most importantly acting on it, is one of our takeaways from Owen's journey. His life is a testament of this.   We were mostly blown away by how multi talented he is - his sales strategy skills, broadcaster of note, music manager, radio station manager, DJ, researcher, teacher, trainer, an avid reader just to name a few.   We spoke about his journey on radio and how it transitioned to him leaving radio all together to end up in consulting.   The consulting business that had him relocate to Zambia to rebrand a local radio station there and taking it to new heights. - Major career highlight. The effects of 2020 Covid -19 restrictions on his business that left him unemployed and ended up in farming and how he ended up back on radio managing Yarona FM again.   We also touched the current challenges he is facing at Yarona FM and how he is tackling them.   This is a story the ups and down of a professional career in entertainment - how to be creative to diversify your income.   I hope you get to learn from this powerhouse as much and we did- an absolute must watch if I should say so myself. Happy watching and happy 2024.

On this episode I had Bupelo Moalosi as a guest for us to discuss festive spending and not fall into the overpending trap. Bupelo is not new to Suero Podcasts, she is actually a certified financial planner with immense experience in the financial literacy industry. Bupelo and I spoke about how to have discipline during the festive season. We touched on various ways stores make consumers find the absolute need to spend especially now, hence we tend it more during festive season. Just because something is on sale doesn't mean you have to buy it, we elaborated on this. How to budget for gifts and christmas groceries. Year end bonuses, metshelo/stokvels and 13th cheques management. We also touched on the ones that their incomes have been affected by job losses or inflation - what to do. This season let's lead with empathy and support the ones that possibly have no income and christmas is different for them this year. Let's also have a wonderful festive season and have an even better Jan 2024 with managing our monies better. I hope you enjoy the episode - Merry Christmas from allof us here at Suero

How To Teach Children About Money On this episode Lame and I discussed how to teach children about money. What Money Blue print are you creating for your children? Do you think you are teaching them well about money? We touched on the importance of leading by example, children copy what you do, they do not do what you say. Lame and I shared how our parents did it and how are raising our kids on this. Super important discussion because I believe most of us want to leave a generational legacy for our children, but the legacy won’t last if they do not know how use and manage money.
