People often think that university is supposed to be this time of enlightened clarity where you follow your passion. It isn't for many people. It wasn't for me nor was the journey thereafter to find my passion and then convince someone to give me a shot in a competitive industry. In this episode I look back at my volatile journey and provide some advice and, hopefully, some relatability to the journey that some of you might be facing.

This week's episode is a bit different! Our host Nish shares his musings after watching the movie "Dumb Money," which was about the GameStop saga.

In this episode our host, Nishlen Govender, will discuss the differences between the 3 most popular US equity markets. Why are there multiple indices, what are the differences, and why on Earth do we use indices in the first place? The reason for having indices, and the differences between them, are one of the those typical finance industry opaque issues so hopefully this lifts the veil and demystifies it for you! #us #equityeducation #equitymarket #s&p500 #nasdaq #dowjones #dowjonesindustrialaverage #financeexplained #investingsimplified #equitysectors #easyfinance #learnwithme #financemadesimple #financialliteracy #financialeducation #fyp #foryoupage

In this episode we breakdown what the 11 equity sectors are from IT, and consumer sectors, all the way to energy, materials, and health care. We discuss the largest stocks in each sector as well as the biggest themes to give you a sense of what is driving modern equity markets.

There has been a lot of headlines dedicated to the idea that we are in the midst of another IT bubble. The last IT bubble took place in 2001 and the meteoric rise of technology companies over the last few years, and in particular the last few months thanks to the AI theme, has caused concern as to whether the market is once again getting overly optimistic when it comes to technology companies. We've spent a lot of time discussing AI and technology stocks so we are uniquely placed to have an opinion on this. I'll dive into bubbles, what's different now, and what we should understand about typical valuation techniques like the P/E ratio.

Host: Itote Rubombora.As the name suggests we discuss two things that, no matter how hard you try, you can never get away from – money and technology. This time on the show we get some help from our very own Nishlen Govender – a career finance professional and fellow co-host here at Impact Co. Together we unpack the history and influence money and technology have had on a global level, but as always, zoom in to see where they fit into the African story.
