Am 20 yrs old boy from Liberia, and listening and following you has transformed by life. Am about to study finance at a university, and am aslo taking classes in public speaking . Thank you for being a mentor for many young African men.
Hello 👋 how do you make such weekly amount?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God's.
Elizabeth Regina has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in the UK as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's with her crypto experience.
Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
I currently reside in the Township. When I pull these conversations regarding Donald trump, U.S economy, Treasury bills, money markets, derivatives and fed policy. Most of the elderly, and my peers they say I'm boring. Most just look at me like there's a glitch. S.A townships are done for.
Vusi, Vusi, Vusi, You never disappoint me. The real economy is truly disconnected from the financial economy. I think the financial economy is ideological while the real economy is practical touching real societal values.
I am a Malawian. This video has been very informative especially the last part of the discussion on economic, finances and investments. The more Africans get enlightened on these issues the better the decisions we will make on investments and ultimately growth of our continent ❤
I absolutely love your conversations. Thank you for using your gift well. May you and your team always live above your struggles and may the wealth that you seek, whatever it be, find you.
Ay Vusi, thank you for this conversation. I dont know if this is the plan of the talk but I feeel your conversation does not conclude a case. youre at one point on trump, JZ and wealth and what it is etc. but dont get to the part where answers/views on the matter conculded to the next. Great points for discussion, just conculde on matters and get other chairs, ingathi niUncomfortable. Introduce the guest also, you know him, we don't. kodwa ke iyabulela iLali. looking forward to the next segment. Saya nara.
Just know that some health plans contracts with health care providers are value based- while these arrangements can lead to better care and efficiencies, they also carry potential downsides that could prioritize profits over care if not carefully structured and monitored.Here in the US.
At the age of 27, I recently opened an ROTH IRA and made the full commitment possible for 2024. How long it took me to straighten out my life makes me feel terrible. How to invest the money to grow for retirement is the issue here
You're 27. It's ok. Time for compounding interest. I believe every Investor should start with ETFs for a solid foundation, then diversify across asset classes and maintain disciplined, regular investing to minimize risks and maximize growth
You do not need to locate the next NVDA to be successful in investing. Simply choose top tier ETFs and work with a financial counselor, as I did. I turned $90,000 into $53,000 in annual dividends, which is a huge accomplishment for me today
Impressive! I admit I'm scared about retirement as I turn 60 on my next birthday. I need to ensure I have enough money to survive on. How can I consult your advisor? My retirement account isn't performing well
I’ve tested out a handful over the years, but June Renae Matthysse has been my top pick for the last two years. Her performance is consistently impressive, and she’s a real name to know in the industry. Check her out
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her
I looked at the election in the USA 100 times and the big lesson I learned was. Harris focused on Channels of Marketing (TV, AFFILIATES, SURROGATES, EVENTS) and in the End Donald Trump Focused on MESSAGE. It was such a lesson that Marketing MESSAGE is more powerful than marketing channels. Its a brilliant lesson for small businesses because many people think they cannot compete with big companies because those companies will have a better marketing budget but money is not that much of a factor in MARKETING MESSAGING. The Harris campaign said the biggest advert that hit them was an ad that said HARRIS is for THEY/THEM and TRUMP IS FOR YOU and at the end he used RONALD REAGANS FAMOUS: Are you better off than you were 4 years ago. No matter what those messages really resonated and no amount of expenditure can overpower a superior message.
Additionally, the DNC completely misread the marketing landscape. TV and traditional media has been on the decline for a LONG time. Trump marketed. He marketed by sitting down with podcasters who have large audiences across both sides of the political aisle. He showed us who he was, talking for hours at a time. Marketing matters. Message matters. But it is pointless to market in a location the audience left a long time ago.
Thanks for sharing your insights! Bitcoin recently hit new highs, signaling strong upward momentum that could mean exciting opportunities for investors. This growth phase shows Bitcoin’s resilience and potential for further gains. Growing a portfolio from 72k to 269k amid these market dynamics is impressive. I'm especially grateful to Laura Grace Abels tactics and strategies…
Surprised to see Laura been mentioned here! She tailors trading courses to suit beginners’ needs and really knows her stuff. Her advice has been invaluable to my trading journey-definitely worth it!
Wealth building and financial freedom are attainable with the right knowledge and tools. Using proper financial strategies and products is essential to growing and sustaining long-term wealth.. glad to know you want others to succeed
It's truly refreshing to see a comment about Laura Grace Abels . I've also had the pleasure of working with her for several months after discovering more about her online. She has a knack for simplifying complex issues, whether it's a market surge or decline. Her approach consistently keeps you ahead of the curve. I'd call her a guru, for sure
Diversification is the secret to optimal performance. This is why I have my interests set on market sectors based on performance and projected growth, such as stock, EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health. Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE
Great Conversation To Gain Insights From, Changing My Perspective Already. As I Am Engaging With The Concepts Of The Financial Industry, What I Do Know For Sure is That It's Not A True Representation Of The Economy. Now I Can See Why Learning More About BlockChain Technology Is Valuable In This New Landscape Of Obtaining Our Wealth In The Present Moment For Our Future. I'm Ready For The Next Episode!!! 🤓 👾
Loved it, very interesting conversation, business & politics, I agree 100%its about values now, if simple people like us get it why cyril doesn't get it with all the education he has, maybe it's because values is something you can be gromed into & not learn at school, nice conversation, much love
I would credit Zuma as a tactician but in terms of strategy, I am not sure he has the enduring foresight. I see someone who can manoeuvre. Now Hellen Zille for me is the master strategist that people seem to be not giving her flowers!
19:31 The "disconnect" exists because markets value companies based on future potential, brand, and intangibles-not just what’s on the balance sheet. Microsoft’s market cap reflects its ability to dominate markets for years to come
The Power of Intangible Assets Companies like Microsoft thrive on intellectual capital, software, and AI dominance-all high-margin and scalable globally. A mineral-rich country like South Africa, by contrast, relies on finite resources, infrastructure costs, and fluctuating commodity prices.💔💔💔
I love this definitely gnna follow .I am a south African, black female and I think Trump is the best thing since slice cheese. Trump just taps into good old "common sense" I'm tired of political ideologies in Africa as they often attempt to reform economic issues, but it is apprent they're solutions are baseless.
Could we take a second and appreciate how quickly loadshedding was solved. How did it happen without any arrests? Did the problem that caused national loadshedding just disappear and stop existing?
Africa's economy is far greater than it's currently quoted. The continent's economy should be at least 50 times its current value if the same economic activities are measured equally in the continent as in the USA, whose currency - $USD, is used to measure GDP across the continent. For example, it would cost about $83 billion for 115 million men to get haircuts in a year in the USA. It will cost N1.8 trillion for 75 million men in Nigeria to get haircuts in a year. When converted to the $USD, the value becomes $1 billion which greatly understates the same level of economic activities that should be worth about $54 billion if carried out in the USA.
22:48 there is a conflation here of GDP and resource value. GDP is the total sum of goods and services produced by an economy in a given period (usually a year). This is not the same as all the assets and resources above and below the ground. So yes, NVIDIAs market cap can be equal to or even greater than Africas GDP. But it is not worth more than Africas resources and assets.
Value: A value refers to a principle or standard that individuals or societies hold as important, guiding their behaviors, decisions, and interactions. Values are deeply rooted in cultural, personal, or societal contexts and influence priorities and actions. Examples of Values: Honesty Freedom Equality Compassion Values are often personal and can differ widely between individuals or groups. For instance, some may prioritize family over career, while others might value independence or material success. Ideology: An ideology is a system of beliefs, ideas, or doctrines that provides a framework for understanding the world and shaping political, social, or cultural practices. Ideologies are often collective and shared within a group, influencing broader societal structures. Examples of Ideologies: Capitalism Socialism Feminism Environmentalism Ideologies encompass a set of interconnected values and principles. For instance, the ideology of environmentalism might prioritize values like sustainability, conservation, and harmony with nature. In summary, values are the building blocks of ideologies. For instance, the value of equality is a cornerstone of the ideology of socialism.
Sweet, short and very informative.. Please keep it to this 25 min per episode. Tired of listening to stupid podcasts going on for 2 hours about nonsons.. You guys are on to something.
I think we are getting it all wrong as far as value is concerned. The value of a product or anything generally is not a function of the effort and resources put in place to create t. It is how much people are ready to pay to obtain that product. Just like the saying, the beauty of a person depends on the eyes of the viewer. Now we have a set of institutions, whom have given an apparent value to a product, and which have all convinced us to accept. That's the reason why a share can be worth 100 dollars today and worth 10 tomorrow. The same way a car can be bought today at 10000 dollars by someone who is interested, and the next day bought at 2000. To make it simple, value is 50 percent emotions, 50 percent cost of production
Am 20 yrs old boy from Liberia, and listening and following you has transformed by life.
Am about to study finance at a university, and am aslo taking classes in public speaking .
Thank you for being a mentor for many young African men.
I'm glad you made this video it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, $34k monthly and a good daughter full of love..
Hello 👋 how do you make such weekly amount?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God's.
Yes,Thanks to Mrs Elizabeth Regina Nelson's time in my life,which had a profound impact on me.
Wow! I'm kind of in shock that you mentioned the expert, Elizabeth Regina Nelsen. What a coincidence!!
Elizabeth Regina has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in the UK as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's with her crypto experience.

Aaah Vusi, 24 minutes is not enough.
Great conversation👏👏👏
Exactly dear
Values over ideologies. That’s really profound. Wonderful analysis.
Donald Trump is a brilliant strategist. We should study him and learn from that.
Same with JZ
Didn't even wait to go through this conversation before I subscribed. Vusi is such an inspirational young man.
This what we need. Thank you again, Vusi for delivering as always.
In one sentence. When I view your content, I view a better self of me. Thank you for bringing value to a Africa.
Loving the content guys. I'm plugged in 🔌
Values Over Ideology, this is a solid point.?
I learned much from you when you came for Global Entrepreneurship Festival in Nigeria last week.
Great lessons to learn from this .. Thank you, gentlemen. I can not wait for more.
This is the best thing out. I am totally engaged.
loved the episode. I wish Mike spoke more, maybe we need an hour episode
I currently reside in the Township. When I pull these conversations regarding Donald trump, U.S economy, Treasury bills, money markets, derivatives and fed policy. Most of the elderly, and my peers they say I'm boring. Most just look at me like there's a glitch. S.A townships are done for.
Remove yourself from that environment asap.
They wanna talk about fruity loops and beer. The issue is the education system in south africa destroyed mzansi youth most of the youth wanna be djs
Vusi, Vusi, Vusi,
You never disappoint me.
The real economy is truly disconnected from the financial economy.
I think the financial economy is ideological while the real economy is practical touching real societal values.
JZ definitely one of the best
Felt like I was in class given a summary of the entire semester, looking forward to the next one. #Thank you V.T Nation.

Great conversation. I just wanted to ask. Would the BRICS currency help the problem of African currency losing value?
Awesome discussion Vusi. 👊🏽
What a great conversation ❤
This is all I've been waiting for.
The world is shifting from ideas base to value base that deep

Great episode
Registration check. 😊
Wow!
God bless you, dear Dr. Vusi Thembekwayo
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬❤️
"Tell me about JZ". That threw me off. I thought this convo was going somewhere else.
You were in my dream last night Vusi.
True wealth is self reliance and natural resources. People think wealth is about owning shares in the stock market.
Sir I need to meet you one day!
Am living serious!
13:00 I wanna see that video.
I think Davido did it for his uncle in Osun, Nigeria, to become governor
Vusi brought a guest and spoke more than him😅🤣😂
Yeeessss😂😂😂but we love him like that joor 😂😂😂
The topic is potential value vs cultivated value
No vusi this is not enough
Vusi I do not think that our colonizers would agree with Africa being a super power

Good podcast but work on the sound. It is criminal for such a bespoke brand to provide content with such poor sound.
This should be interesting 😅
The question wasn't answered on what is "wealth"?
Please get more comfortable chairs visit. Sofas will do. Good content
Nvidia will keep producing real value but Congo, sadly, can't seem to produce any.
