Welcome back to another podcast with myself, Rio Penn- Grice, Yadhira Dominguez and this week’s special guest Maya Raichoora.

As we approached the topic, it became clear that this is not a one time conversation, but that will we will keep open as long as it is an issue in our generation.

EP 47 | Find the Balance Between Being Healthy and Living: Ex.in (Joe Langley)
Welcome back to another podcast with myself, Rio Penn-Grice and this weeks special guest Joe (Ex.in). Ex.in combines talented lyricism with hard work and dedication, which has won him Prospect 100's 2020 Global Music Competition. Ex.in approaches his music with authenticity, placing great significance on self-expression, using his music to portray who he is and what his morals are, rather than having his music become an identity that he has to follow. We love his music here at the Gen Z, and we are ecstatic to watch him grow as an entrepreneur and a musician.

EP 46 | Financial Literacy Chinwag: Advantages of Business Credit
Welcome to another podcast with myself, Rio Penn-Grice, Aaron Pena and Joseph Rodrigues. This episode marks an end on this financial literacy series, where did the last three weeks go?! In our chinwag, we discuss the topic of Business Credit, developing an understanding of how it can be beneficial in the growth of the company if managed correctly. We also realize that business credit is very much like personal credit lines but on a significantly larger scale, meaning it comes with greater weight and responsibility. Next week, we will bring the concept of personal and business interlinking again through the personal development series, but you will have to wait for that. Cheers for now!
