Money, Relationships and the Cost of 'We'

Money and Forex: The Scams, The Lies, The Truth

Forex trading is one of the most misunderstood industries in Kenya. Some people call it a scam, others have built careers and fortunes from it. So what's the truth? In this episode of the Just Money Podcast, Ivy sits down with Alex Muoki, an Exness Pro Trader, to separate fact from fiction and expose how financial scams actually work. Alex shares his six-year journey from curiosity-driven beginner to professional trader, while revealing the tricks, traps, and psychological tactics scammers use to exploit desperate investors.

Money and Trusts: Building Wealth Is Only Half The Job

Most people think trusts are only for the ultra-wealthy. They hear the words trust fund and imagine billionaires, inherited fortunes, and family dynasties. But what if a trust isn't really about wealth? What if it's about protecting the people you leave behind? In this episode, Just Ivy sits down with Advocate Eliot Ngugi and Entrepreneur Matu Kihato to unpack one of the most misunderstood financial tools in Kenya: TRUSTS.   Matu shares his personal experience as a beneficiary of one of Kenya's most prominent family trusts following the passing of his grandfather, Jenga Karume. He speaks candidly about what worked, what went wrong, and how trustees can either preserve a legacy or become the source of conflict.   Meanwhile, Eliot breaks down the legal side of trusts, succession planning, trusteeship, and why many families misunderstand the role these structures play.

Money and Startups: Don't Leave Your Job to Build a Business!

Everybody loves startup success stories. The funding announcements. The Forbes lists. The headlines. But very few people talk about what it actually takes to build a business in Africa. In this episode of the Just Money Podcast, Engineer, Entrepreneur, and Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 Honoree Ian Minjire breaks down the realities behind entrepreneurship, fundraising, governance, resilience, and survival in African markets.

Money, Music & Manipulation: Who Really Gets Paid?

Music looks glamorous on the outside, but the money story behind it is very different. Breaking into global markets as an African artist can cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, while local streams generate only a fraction of that value.   In this episode, Just Ivy Africa sits down with Moriasi Omambia, General Counsel and Head of Business Affairs at Sauti Sol Group, to unpack the real economics of the music industry, from discovery to global success.

Money, Relationships and the Cost of 'We'

We talk about love, compatibility, and communication in relationships, but we rarely talk about money with the same honesty. In this episode, we explore something most people only confront when it's too late: the real cost of "we." Who owns what? What counts as contribution? And what does the law actually recognize? Relationships are not just emotional, they're also financial and, in many cases, legal. This conversation is worth having early.
