    I Raised $1M.Then Couldn't Afford KES 500 | Kevin Mutiso

    What does it take to rebuild financially, professionally and personally after a business you have invested everything in collapses?Kevin Mutiso's relationship with money and business started quite early. While still in Form Two, he was buying shares in Kenya Airways. By 19, he was managing investment portfolios for some of Kenya's top CEOs. He went on to build Alternative Circle, a fintech venture that secured US$1 million in investment, only to face technology challenges, fraud, mounting costs and the disruption of COVID-19.The consequences extended far beyond the business. Kevin had to sell his home, cars and personal belongings, confront significant debt and rebuild his life with the support of his family and wife. In this conversation, he opens up about the decisions, assumptions and business practices that contributed to the collapse, including the lessons he has carried into his next venture.Today, he is building Oye, a financial services platform designed around the needs of boda boda riders. What began with personal accident cover has expanded into fuel credit and merchant services, with a bigger ambition to help riders build financial resilience and eventually participate in the ownership of the business.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Financially Incorrect Live Early Bird Tickets Still Available Get Yours Here: https://mookh.com/financiallyincorrectlive/Access all our links in one place: https://lnk.bio/Financially_Inc💹 Ready to start trading?🧑‍🏫 Learn how to trade: https://lnk.bio/fxpesa📲 Open a demo trading account: https://bit.ly/DemoAccountYT 📈 Start live trading: https://bit.ly/LiveAccountYT---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Episode Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Community Update00:00:26 – Expanding Audience Across Africa and Beyond00:00:44 – Upcoming Financially Incorrect Live Event Details00:01:39 – Early Life: Family Support and Dad’s Offer00:02:09 – Kevin Mutiso’s Background & Role in African Fintech00:02:32 – Early Entrepreneurship: Selling Secondhand Phones00:02:50 – Journey in Microfinance and Lending Insights00:03:15 – Challenges Building Alternative Circle00:04:01 – Supporting Family through Difficult Times00:04:52 – Kevin’s Podcast: Let the Cake Bake00:06:33 – Kevin’s Fintech Vision and Industry Impact00:08:21 – Creation and Evolution of Oye for Boda Riders00:54:42 – Securing Initial Investment for Alternative Circle01:02:39 – $1 Million Funding Deal and Its Significance01:57:58 – Scaling Oye: Business Growth and Future Plans

    From Making Kitenge Earrings to A Self-Funded RWF 15M Art Center |Jemima Kakizi |Rwanda Edition

    Jemima Kakizi was already earning from her art before she graduated from university. But when the momentum slowed after graduation, she had to rethink what building a career in the creative industry actually required. In 2017, she took an entry level internship despite feeling that she should have been further along. The experience exposed her to grant applications, open calls, partnerships and professional communication. Skills that extended beyond creating art would become relevant as she developed her work as an artist, curator and founder of Impundu Art Center, a creative space in Kigali that has required an estimated RWF 10 million to RWF 15 million investment.In this episode of Financially Incorrect Rwanda Edition, Jemima reflects on the financial realities of a creative career, from paying her university fees through commissioned artwork to navigating inconsistent income, experimenting with hand painted T shirts during COVID, and learning to charge for curation. She also explains why generating opportunities does not always translate into profit, how negotiation changed the way she approached creative work, and how her income is distributed across artistic work, curation and speaking. What does it take to move from being good at your craft to building a sustainable business around it?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Get Financially Incorrect Live Early Bird Tickets Here: https://mookh.com/financiallyincorrectlive/Access all our links in one place: https://lnk.bio/Financially_Inc💹 Ready to start trading?🧑‍🏫 Learn how to trade: https://lnk.bio/fxpesa📲 Open a demo trading account: https://bit.ly/DemoAccountYT 📈 Start live trading: https://bit.ly/LiveAccountYT---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Episode Chapters00:00 Jemima Kakizi and the Business of Art29:52 The Financial Reality After Graduation36:15 Why She Took an Entry Level Internship39:47 The Skills She Learnt Beyond Art42:37 Art, Curation and Advocacy48:26 Why She Started Curating for Free51:52 The Hidden Costs of Curating58:25 Creating Value Does Not Guarantee Profit01:05:44 Learning to Negotiate Her Value

    25 Years, Multiple Awards, One Admission: Architecture Would’ve Paid More | Nameless

    A hit song can make you famous. But does it make you wealthy?For Kenyan music legend Nameless, the answer depends on what happens after the song takes off. A major hit can transform an artist’s earning power, open up new markets and bring opportunities that once seemed out of reach. But a good song does not guarantee commercial success, and even a successful career can leave an artist vulnerable when demand slows down.In this episode of Financially Incorrect, Nameless breaks down the economics behind a career in music. He explains the difference between a good song, a hit and a mega hit, and why songs such as Ninanoki and Sinzia had a lasting impact on his career. He also reflects on the unpredictability of music income, the cost of producing music, and why the attention around a song can disappear much faster than it once did.Beyond the music, this is a conversation about building financial security in an industry where income is rarely guaranteed. Nameless shares the thinking behind his approach to investments, how he and Wahu prepare for quieter seasons, and what a period of declining demand taught him about the value of his work. He also opens up about the economics of putting on a concert, the possibility of selling his music catalogue, and why he believes he might have made more money as an architect.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Get Financially Incorrect Live Early Bird Tickets Here: https://mookh.com/financiallyincorrectlive/Access all our links in one place: https://lnk.bio/Financially_Inc💹 Ready to start trading?🧑‍🏫 Learn how to trade: https://lnk.bio/fxpesa📲 Open a demo trading account: https://bit.ly/DemoAccountYT 📈 Start live trading: https://bit.ly/LiveAccountYT---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Episode Chapters00:00 Introduction: Nameless and the business of music02:30 Growing up learning to live within your means07:00 From a KSh 4,700 salary to music12:00 The first car and early money decisions17:00 How Ninanoki changed his career23:00 The difference between a hit and a mega hit29:00 How Sinzia opened up new markets35:00 Why a hit song does not guarantee wealth41:00 Making money beyond music47:00 Building investments for the quiet seasons53:00 The real economics of putting on a concert59:00 Why ticket prices can make or break an event01:05:00 When the music industry stopped calling01:10:00 The health scare that changed his priorities01:15:00 How brand partnerships became another income stream01:20:00 Could architecture have made him more money?01:25:00 The problem with music royalties in Kenya01:30:00 Would he sell his music catalogue for KSh 300 million?01:35:00 How AI could change the value of music01:40:00 Why live performance may matter more01:44:00 Reinvention, legacy and the next chapter

    How Kevin Kamau Built a Successful Agribusiness in Africa | Business Edition

    How do you build an agribusiness managing nearly 5,000 acres across Africa without owning the land? When Kevin Kamau returned to Kenya in 2015 after a decade in the US, he struggled to find employment and turned to farming with no personal capital. What began with one acre of family land grew into Tukalime Ventures, an agribusiness operating across Kenya, Rwanda, Mozambique and Nigeria. But growth came with expensive lessons. Failed harvests, rising production costs and delayed payments from large buyers exposed the financial risks of commercial farming. At one point, Kevin turned down a senior role offering up to KSh 1 million a month to continue building his business, eventually securing a proposed $100,000 investment that opened the door to expansion.In this Financially Incorrect Business Edition, Kevin breaks down the economics of commercial farming, why leasing land makes more sense for his business than owning it, how commodity trading helps manage risk, and the partnerships that enabled Tukalime to scale.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Access all our links in one place: https://lnk.bio/Financially_Inc💹 Ready to start trading?🧑‍🏫 Learn how to trade: https://lnk.bio/fxpesa📲 Open a demo trading account: https://bit.ly/DemoAccountYT 📈 Start live trading: https://bit.ly/LiveAccountYT---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Episode Chapters00:00 Introduction02:29 Welcome to Financially Incorrect05:28 The Risks of Agribusiness09:06 Family, Inheritance & Generational Wealth16:08 Life in America21:08 Returning to Kenya25:41 Starting Farming With Zero Capital32:33 How Tukalime Ventures Started37:24 Farming Failures & Financial Lessons43:25 Finding Customers & Growing the Business46:35 The Cash Flow Problem55:30 The KSh 1 Million Job Offer59:00 Securing a $100,000 Investment1:03:15 Choosing Business Over Employment1:05:40 Building a Scalable Agribusiness
