This week's episode is a full circle moment for me.

One of the first financial YouTube channels I ever followed was The Humble Penny, founded by Ken and Mary Okoroafor.

Fast forward 4 years and I have had the privilege of interviewing them on my podcast about the many hats they wear - as parents, business partners, and co-authors of the Sunday Times best-selling book, Financial Joy.

They don't give interviews very often, so I hope you give this one a listen.

This week on the podcast we welcome Benedicta Egbeme, qualified accountant and founder of BeniRatio Finances.

As we all know, we are living through a cost of living crisis. And many of the remedies prescribed for this have been around cutting costs and spending less.

But you only cut your costs to zero. Increasing your income on the other hand is potentially infinite.

In this week's episode, Benedicta and I discuss practical ways everyday people can increase their income, and some of the tax and practical considerations of doing so.

I hope you learn something!

I had a fantastic time speaking to @rizq_comms on this episode about halal investing.

This is an area of finance I know very little about, so it was awesome to speak to Uneesa about the ins and outs of halal investing and how it differs to non-halal investing.

A big thank you to Uneesa also for making the time to speak with us during Ramadan when she has of course been fasting all day.
