How Pius Muchiri Built an Investment leader- Nabo Capital

There is a perception amongst many that financial freedom is about earning more money. Pius Muchiri believes it's about reaching a point where your investments can sustain your lifestyle even if your salary stops tomorrow.In this episode of Financially Incorrect Business Edition, Barrack sits down with Pius Muchiri, CFA and Managing Director of Nabo Capital, to unpack a career spanning accounting, investment management, private equity, public markets, and the building of one of Kenya's leading fund management firms.He reflects on the childhood experience that shaped his relationship with money after witnessing financial uncertainty at a young age. That experience would go on to influence his approach to investing, risk management, and his belief that financial independence should be the ultimate goal for every investor. The conversation traces his journey from accounting to investment management, his years at Centum Investments, where he helped execute some of East Africa's most notable investment transactions, and the lessons learned from building Nabo Capital from the ground up.We also explore the future of investing in Africa, why diversification beyond your home market matters, the role of money market funds in wealth preservation, and how technology is helping democratize access to investment opportunities.A major highlight of the conversation is the discussion around TRIFIC REIT, a real estate investment trust designed to give investors access to institutional-grade real estate through a more accessible structure. Pius breaks down how the vehicle works, the thinking behind creating it, the role of liquidity in real estate investing, and why dollar-denominated income opportunities are attracting growing interest from investors seeking diversification and long-term wealth creation..---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Access all our links in one place: ⁠https://lnk.bio/Financially_Inc💹 Ready to start trading?🔍 Who is FXPesa: ⁠https://shorturl.at/rWFqC🎓 Learn how to trade: ⁠https://shorturl.at/xR2Ye⁠📊 Try a demo account: ⁠https://shorturl.at/izDMc⁠💸 Open a live account: ⁠https://shorturl.at/Od2ux---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Episode Chapters00:00 Introduction02:14 Growing Up Around Money08:37 Watching His Family Face Financial Hardship14:26 The Promise He Made At 11 Years Old20:11 What Financial Independence Really Means26:48 Why He Started In Accounting33:19 The Limitation Of Support Functions38:52 Leaving Accounting For Investments45:31 Joining Centum Investments52:44 Why Accounting Creates Better Investors58:21 Building The Coca-Cola Investment Case01:06:08 Finding Undervalued Opportunities In Africa01:13:42 Investing Beyond Kenya01:20:15 Growing Centum From KSh 6B To KSh 30B01:27:56 Why Nabo Capital Was Created01:35:02 The Entrepreneurial Learning Curve01:41:58 Building Trust In Fund Management01:47:40 Money Market Funds Explained01:54:21 Are Money Market Funds Safer Than Banks?01:59:43 The Trific REIT Opportunity02:04:56 The Future Of Investing In Kenya02:07:48 What Financial Freedom Looks Like02:09:15 Final Thoughts

How to Tell If Fear Is Protecting You or Holding You Back with Extreme Athlete Nelly Attar

We tell ourselves the reason we never chase the big dream is that we're not ready, not brave enough, doomed to fail. Nelly Attar would tell you she felt all of that too… but she chased them anyway. Nelly is a psychologist turned extreme athlete and mountaineer. She built Saudi Arabia's first dance studio, MOVE, at a time when women couldn't train publicly by sneaking classes into a warehouse and office building after hours. She's the first Lebanese person to climb the five highest peaks in the world, like Everest. And she also became the first Arab to summit K2, the world’s second highest peak that’s so dangerous that one in four people who attempt it survive. But what makes Nelly remarkable aren’t the summits and heights she reaches. It's that she's found a way to turn individual acts of accomplishment into acts of service: for the women she shows what's possible and for the team that climbs beside her. In this episode you'll learn: ➡️ The difference between fear that protects you and fear that holds you back ➡️ How preparing and working hard can lighten the load for others ➡️ What small, daily kindness practices become the best investment you can make ➡️ Why there's no such thing as "self-made" and what actually de-risks courage ➡️ The art of “strategic retreat” + why quitting and retreating aren't the same thing ➡️ Why your title and achievements aren’t your identity (and what is) ➡️ How movement is medicine, and why the mind leads the body ➡️ What it really means to live a life of service to the people right in front of you In this conversation, Nelly shows that the size of what you accomplish matters far less than the spirit you bring to it. She faces her fear for herself, but she does the hard work for everyone else. This… is A Bit of Optimism. + + + Want to keep up with Nelly’s adventures?

The Skill That Stops You From Overcommitting

Send us Fan Mail Someone asks you to take something on, and before they've even finished, you've already said yes. You didn't check your calendar. You didn't ask if it was your job. And three weeks later, you're carrying work you never wanted and quietly resenting the person who handed it to you. That yes was automatic. And automatic isn't the same as generous. This episode is about catching that yes before it leaves your mouth, and saying no instead in a way that's warm, fast, and doesn't cost you the relationship. Learning to pause in that split second is how you stop overcommitting and start getting what you want.
