Loading player...
As global tensions in the Middle East continue to impact economies worldwide, concerns are growing about job security — especially for young people entering the workforce. With potential job losses looming, the need for financial literacy and alternative income strategies has never been more urgent.

Joining us is Ashirus Monhla, popularly known as Leadership Monhla — a renowned mentor and financial educator who has impacted over 50,000 people directly and reached nearly 2 million followers across social media. Now partnering with Trade245, he is embarking on a nationwide school and university tour to equip young people with the knowledge of trading, financial markets, and wealth-building tools.

In this conversation, we unpack why financial education should start early, how trading can be used as a pathway to financial independence, the importance of mentorship, and what young people need to watch out for when navigating financial trends.

This is more than just a conversation — it’s a guide to surviving and thriving in uncertain economic times.
