I am thrilled to bring you this inspiring conversation with the remarkable Dee Poku, a visionary leader who is spearheading the future of what success looks like for women. Dee is known within women's communities as someone building the future of community, powerful homes, powerful lives, and true independence. Before creating this incredible impact, she built a successful career in entertainment that took her from the UK to the United States. Today, we dive deep into Dee's fascinating journey from a sheltered childhood in the UK to experiencing wealth inequality firsthand in Ghana at age six, through her rebellious university years, her climb in the entertainment industry, and ultimately her transition to entrepreneurship and community building. You'll hear about Dee's early financial awakening through credit card debt, her strategic career moves including an international relocation, and the pivotal moment when she walked away from a prestigious corporate career to build something meaningful. Dee shares her insights on navigating identity crises during career transitions, learning to advocate for her worth, and the evolution from hosting informal gatherings to building a thriving business centered on connecting powerful women. This conversation is packed with wisdom on financial empowerment, community building, and creating a legacy that uplifts future generations of women. Key Topics: Growing up between the UK and Ghana and witnessing wealth inequality at age six Early financial awakening through university credit card debt and learning money management Choosing creativity over corporate finance and transitioning through fashion to entertainment Strategic career moves, salary negotiation, and making the bold leap from UK to US The pivotal moment of leaving prestigious corporate entertainment to pursue entrepreneurship Navigating identity crisis, self-worth challenges, and learning to charge for value Evolution from failed first business to building a thriving community-centered company Building a legacy focused on women's economic empowerment and equal representation Connect with Dee Poku online: https://www.deepoku.com/ https://www.instagram.com/deepoku https://www.linkedin.com/in/deepoku https://www.thewiesuite.com/ Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://syamabunten.com/ Download Syama's Guide to Getting Rich: www.syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

Mrs. Goddard graciously asked me to speak to the teenage girls this year at our annual Ladies Conference. I chose to speak about bitterness. This is a very personal topic for me since I suffered through it while I was in Ghana, West Africa. And if I'm honest with myself, I have had many roots of bitterness that I have had to weed out over the years and will continue to have to until I see my Saviour face to face. I sincerely hope this lesson will be a blessing to you and help you towards forgiveness.

Ghana's twentieth century was one of dramatic political, economic, and environmental change. Sparked initially by the impositions of colonial rule, these transformations had significant, if rarely uniform, repercussions for the determinants of good and bad nutrition. All across this new and uneven polity, food production, domestic reproduction, gender relations, and food cultures underwent radical and rapid change. This volatile national history was matched only by the scientific instability of nutritional medicine during these same years. Moving between the dry Northern savannah, the mineral-rich and food-secure Southern rainforest, and the youthful, ever-expanding cities, John Nott's Between Feast and Famine: Food, Health, and the History of Ghana's Long Twentieth-Century (UCL Press, 2025) is a comparative history of nutrition in Ghana since the end of the nineteenth century. At the heart of this story is an analysis of how an uneven capitalist transformation variously affected the lives of women and children. It traces the change from sporadic periods of hunger in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, through epidemics of childhood malnutrition during the twentieth century, and into emergent epidemics of diet-related non-communicable disease in the twenty-first century. Employing a novel, critical approach to historical epidemiology, Nott argues that detailing the co-production of science and its subjects in the past is essential for understanding and improving health in the present. John Nott is a Research Fellow in Science, Technology and Innovation Studies at the University of Edinburgh. His research interests sit primarily across the history of medicine and economic history, with a particular focus on colonial and postcolonial contexts. He also has complementary interests in medical anthropology and STS, and is currently a Research Fellow on Lukas Engelmann's ERC-funded project, "The Epidemiological Revolution: A History of Epidemiological Reasoning in the Twentieth Century." Amongst other things, he is working on a monograph detailing the economic and medical history of surveillance in Anglophone Africa. Dr. Nott is also the Principal Investigator of a collaborative British Academy-funded project, "Population Health in Practice: Towards a Comparative Historical Ethnography of the Demographic Health Survey," which explores the history and contemporary production of epidemiological and demographic data in Ghana, Tanzania, and Malawi. Dr. Nott was trained at the University of Leeds, where his PhD focused on the history of nutrition and nutritional medicine in Ghana since the end of the nineteenth century. Immediately before coming to Edinburgh, he was a fellow at the Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA) at the University of Ghana. Before this, Dr. Nott was based at Maastricht University as a Research Fellow on Anna Harris' ERC-funded project, “Making Clinical Sense: a Historical-Ethnographic Study of the Technologies Used in Medical Education. The edited collection, “Making Sense of Medicine: Material Culture and the Reproduction of Medical Knowledge,” recently won the Amsterdamska Award by the European Association for the Study of Science & Technology (EASST).

Trust isn't just a moral virtue—it's capital. When an entrepreneur needed to raise $400,000 from American investors for a school in Ghana, they secured the funding based solely on reputation, even from those who had never visited the country. "People give you money even though they have not been here?" government representatives asked in disbelief. The answer was simple: "It is trust, it is integrity."The secret to sustainable business growth lies in what this educational leader calls the "three H's"—humility, honesty, and hard work. Humility keeps you learning and adapting. Honesty builds the foundation of trust that attracts both customers and investors. Hard work, manifested not just in long hours but in strategic thinking and leading by example, inspires your entire team. "If you want quick gains like some young people are doing, you will get it, but it won't last," they caution. True success isn't about cutting corners; it's about building something that endures.After establishing the most respected educational institution in Kumasi, the entrepreneur made what they called "an audacious move" to expand to Accra following their participation in Stanford's SEED program. Despite financial concerns about the expensive East Legon location, they moved forward strategically, bringing their best teachers to ensure quality from day one. The gamble paid off spectacularly—the Accra campus quickly attracted students and now generates more revenue than the original location. But what's most revealing is how they approached this success. When enrollment boomed, instead of celebrating, they became more vigilant: "How about if we fail to meet people's expectations?" This mindset reveals perhaps the most profound lesson of all: genuine success requires remaining humble even when you're in highest demand.Ready to build a business foundation that truly lasts? Listen now to discover how integrity and calculated risk-taking can transform your enterprise—and how the right mindset can turn even your most audacious goals into reality.Support the showWatch the video episode of this on YouTube - https://linktr.ee/konnectedminds

Nos premiers invités #SessionLive sont Roseaux avec Ben l'Oncle Soul. Roseaux est un trio parisien composé Emile Omar, Alex Finkin et Clément Petit. Les trois mousquetaires du son cultivent leur savoir-faire désormais salué par la critique et un auditoire toujours plus nombreux depuis leur premier projet en 2012. Il leur a fallu du temps, pour prendre du recul et de la hauteur afin de nous offrir un retour tant réjouissant que retentissant. Roseaux prend racine au bord des rives de la soul, du folk, du jazz, et de la chanson de toutes les époques, une cascade de sonorités intarissables, où les trois compositeurs puisent leur inspiration et fusionnent leurs expériences. Les feuilles de Roseaux s'élancent au souffle de merveilleuses voix, choisies avec précision par les trois compères, comme celle, du chanteur américain Aloe Blacc, présent depuis le début de l'aventure, enchanteur incontournable des trois épisodes. Pensé comme une escapade onirique gorgée d'émotions, en marge de la production massive, instantanée et souvent désincarnée, Roseaux est un groupe totalement artisanal, sorte d'ovni dans le paysage musical hexagonal, qui opère à l'instinct et surtout à l'envie. Ainsi, Roseaux est devenu expert pour réunir, le temps d'un disque, les artistes qui forment spécifiquement l'ADN de leur hôte : des voix envoûtantes, une trame au piano et au violoncelle, mais aussi des rencontres et des retrouvailles, dans un univers poétique et volontairement nébuleux. Ce troisième album est l'œuvre de 3 passionnés de musique, capables d'intervertir leurs rôles : écriture, arrangements, production, d'où émergent cette fois, onze titres au mélodies ciselées dont trois instrumentaux colorés et insolites. Un périple entre mélancolie et euphorie, qui a conduit Roseaux aux confins de la planète, des Caraïbes à l'Europe en pasant par l'Afrique pour dénicher d'autres vibrations et des interprètes singuliers : la captivante chanteuse grenado-britannique Ala.ni, le petit prince afropop anglais originaire du Ghana, Ghetto Boy, et la troublante suédoise Isabel Sörling, signent ici une première collaboration flamboyante avec le groupe. Pendant que la talentueuse canado-haïtienne Mélissa Laveaux, l'hypnotique chanteur scandinave Olle Nyman, la pétillante franco-canadienne Anna Majidson et notre remarquable Ben national, déjà présents sur le deuxième volet, parviennent encore à créer la surprise en dévoilant de nouveaux aspects de leur tessiture. Les voix de Roseaux sont décidément impénétrables et sa magie se renouvelle aujourd'hui en faisant dialoguer la force de tous ces éléments scintillants, à découvrir dans un écrin de douceur et de volupté. La nature regorge de roseaux, celui-ci est unique.   Titres interprétés au grand studio - With Us Feat. Ben l'Oncle Soul Live RFI - Loving You Is All I Want To Do Feat.

Ever hear of the Tchamba?Did you know there is a group of ancestral souls who oversee and protect descendants of enslaved Africans in America?Did you know African Americans are direct descendants of these spirits with tribal connections making them not only a part of the African spiritual continuum, but central to it?“The Tchamba spirits are the ghosts of forgotten ancestors— torn from their homelands, stripped of their names, languages, gods, and rituals, yet whose spiritual presence still lingers. Because of the trauma, resilience, and spiritual depth of their journey and the lessons it has to teach, they are calling out to be remembered, honored, and restored in our hearts.This group of foundational black Americans, specifically derived from waves of African enslavement and exportation to the Americas —known as the New World— during the rise of patriarchy in pre-Greco-Roman Europe and Alkebulan now known as “Africa” —were direct descendants of the Middle Passage, and are not disconnected or lost, but carry in their veins Tchamba blood that remembers and deems them sacred.Three Important Points about the Tchamba:#1 - The Tchamba ancestors are crying out to be seen, not as property or history, but as powerful spirits worthy of the reverence and honor that facilitates AfAm reclamation of their stolen lineage. Veneration of Tchamba is not about dwelling on pain but transforming it into spiritual power and ancestral reconnection.#2 - This is being done in present day Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso and Ghana where Tchama spirits were enslaved and sold into slavery by African lineages often within the same ethnic groups. The Tchamba are venerated, acknowledged, and appeased for reconnection with and healing of unacknowledged ancestors who suffered in bondage.#3 - Restoring spiritual balance and generational healing begins by acknowledging the historical trauma of slavery that is embedded not just in the physical world, but in the spiritual realm. This breaks the spiritual taboos that caused AfAms to forget and deny the ancestors, the very support we need to empower true liberation.For details read Mama Zogbé's book Mami Wata: Africa's Ancient God/dess Unveiled, Vol I.

Life After the Leap – What Really Changes When You Become an Entrepreneur On this episode of Join Up Dots, we're diving deep into something a lot of people think about but rarely get honest answers to—what really happens to your life when you stop working for someone else and go all-in on your own business? Is it all freedom, money, and passive income... or are there unexpected challenges that no one tells you about? David Ralph, host of Join Up Dots, opens up in response to real listener questions from around the world—questions that get right to the heart of the entrepreneurial experience. These aren't sugar-coated, surface-level topics. These are the things you wonder when you're lying awake at night, debating whether it's finally time to hand in your notice and bet on yourself. Listeners from the UK to Australia, Ghana to Canada, and everywhere in between sent in curious, heartfelt, and sometimes funny questions about what life really looks like once you take control of your career and step into the world of entrepreneurship. And in true Join Up Dots style, David doesn't dodge any of them. You'll hear how his daily routine has transformed—not just the hours, but the mindset. Gone are the rigid Monday morning meetings and soul-draining commutes. In their place? Freedom. But that freedom comes with its own set of challenges that nobody warns you about—like being solely responsible for creating your own momentum when no one's watching over your shoulder. David shares how he balances the desire for flexibility with the discipline needed to keep his businesses thriving. One of the most fascinating parts of this episode is how David talks about time—not in terms of productivity hacks, but how his relationship with time has evolved since becoming his own boss. Weekends feel different. Mornings feel different. Life has a new rhythm now that he calls the shots. But it's not all sunshine. He's open about moments of burnout, of wondering whether it was all worth it, and of nearly throwing in the towel. Money also plays a huge role in the discussion. Listeners asked some tough questions about finances. Has David made more money since leaving his job? How does he deal with inconsistent income? Is it easier or harder to manage money when you don't have a salary landing on the same day each month? His answers are real, grounded, and sometimes surprising. Because let's face it—when your income depends on your own ideas, consistency becomes a skill you have to develop fast. Relationships also come up—because when you change your life, your connections with others often shift too. David reflects on how his friendships, family dynamics, and even his sense of identity have evolved since leaving traditional employment. It's not always smooth sailing. Not everyone cheers you on. But entrepreneurship often teaches you who's really in your corner—and who isn't. There's also a brilliant moment where David describes what he misses from the old days. Yes, there are things he actually misses. Having a team around. Casual banter. Someone else worrying about tech problems or tax codes. But then he counters that with the small, quiet wins of his new life—the coffee on a slow morning, walking the dog at midday, the simple joy of choosing how every hour is spent. If you've ever thought, “What would my life really look like if I didn't work for someone else anymore?”—this episode is for you. You'll get an honest look into the gains, the losses, the triumphs, and the trade-offs that come with the entrepreneurial path. And what's refreshing is that it's not a highlight reel. It's a human story of transformation, choice, and growth. By the end of the episode, you'll feel more equipped than ever to answer your own questions about whether entrepreneurship is right for you. It's not about convincing you either way—it's about giving you real insight, so you can make a decision that matches your own values and lifestyle goals. And remember—if this episode sparks a thought, makes you laugh, challenges your thinking, or pushes you one step closer to your next big leap, then share it. That's how we grow this amazing community of dreamers, doers, and action-takers around the world.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 11th of July, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We start in the Gospel of Matthew 12:30: “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” Then we go to the Gospel of Luke 11:23, and Jesus says exactly the same thing. He says: “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.” We cannot serve two masters. Either we are for the Lord or we are against the Lord. There is no middle ground. The Lord says in the Book of Revelation, “If you are lukewarm, a compromiser, I will spew you out of My mouth.” Strong words, and like never before in the world, we have got to be definite and intentional when it comes to our faith. I am thinking of children at school, particularly, under tremendous pressure to compromise and say, “Yes, all roads lead to Heaven.” According to our Bible they do not. Jesus says, “I am the way,…” John 14:6. We need to stand tall for the Lord like never before. So, by doing nothing, the Lord says we are actually against Him. When somebody asks you, “Are you a follower of Christ?”, you have to say “yes” or “no”. You can't say, “Well, you know, I believe in all gods.” We don't actually, and that is why we get persecuted so much. I think again of those incredible men, those migrant workers who were working in Libya when they were caught by ISIS, marched to the edge of the Mediterranean Sea and given an opportunity to deny Christ. If they had relented they would have lived, but they didn't, and one by one they were killed. But what really touched me was that one of them was a migrant worker from Ghana, from Africa, and they said, “Who are you serving?” And this is all on video, folks. He said, “I am with them.'Understand very clearly, if you want power and peace and joy in your heart, you need to stand for Christ. You need to be definite, and that will give you the peace, the ability and the power, to walk this road with Jesus. Have a blessed day as you stand tall for the King of Kings, the soon-coming Saviour of the world.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

A socio-economic political talk show that discusses the major political, social and economic issues in Ghana

"Poverty is a choice, my brother." These powerful words from Enyonam, widely known as The Ghanaian Farmer, cut through long-held misconceptions about agriculture in Ghana. While the average farmer in the country is 55 years old—approaching Ghana's life expectancy—farming remains one of our greatest untapped opportunities for wealth creation and poverty eradication.The silence around agricultural prosperity is deafening. "The OGs who have been in the space have made wealth but they refuse to talk about it," Enyonam reveals, explaining why young people continue to view farming through an outdated lens. This powerful conversation dismantles these stereotypes, revealing how coconut farming on just 20 acres could generate over 1.3 million cedis annually, with farmers harvesting approximately 100 fruits per tree twice yearly.But success requires more than just planting seeds. Market research before production is non-negotiable. "If you don't categorize your buyers, then you would sell to the market woman who comes to tell you this is how much I'm paying or I won't buy," Enyonam cautions. She details practical routes to market, from government institutions like Ghana Commodity Exchange to international buyers seeking export-quality produce, each requiring different approaches and certifications.Financial support for agricultural entrepreneurs is increasingly accessible through organizations like Mastercard Foundation, offering loans at 5% interest with generous repayment terms. Young graduates shouldn't wait for government employment but should package their agricultural expertise as consulting services—especially valuable in a country where one extension officer serves nearly 1,000 farmers. Modern farming has evolved beyond rainfall dependency and wasteful practices; today's successful farmers use irrigation systems and transform every byproduct into value, from cassava peels for animal feed to fish-water for vegetable growing.Whether you're considering agriculture as an investment or career path, this episode reveals the practical steps to success while avoiding common scams and pitfalls.

It's also where I met today's guest Sia Henry. Sia is deeply dedicated to liberation and racial justice, with extensive work in criminal legal system reform and abolition. She is a Senior Policy Associate at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and the founder of The Hood Exchange, which introduces formerly incarcerated Black communities to international travel. During the discussion, Sia shares her personal background and explores the intersection of psychedelics, restorative justice, and criminal justice reform. We talk about her early experiences with psychedelics and the fact that psychedelics are not fully integrated into the Black community. She also delves into the transformative potential of restorative justice practices for addressing systemic harm, the importance of racial equity in advocacy, and her vision for the future of criminal justice reform and how psychedelics could play a healing role. Sia also shares a beautiful story about her nonprofit, The Hood Exchange, and the impact of their first trip to Ghana and the significance of international travel for healing and community building in the Black community.   Learn More About Sia Henry MAPS.org Hoodexchange.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/sia-henry-39304230/ Sia @ MAPS.org  Sia @ hoodexchange.org  Connect with Carla If you're inspired by this episode and want to stay connected, follow Carla and Psychedelic Divas on social media or visit the website to get your Psychedelic Safety Guide Including What to Do When Things Go Wrong:  •    Website: PsychedelicDivas.com •    Carla's Coaching: CarlaDetchon.com •    Instagram: http://instagram.com/psychedelicdivas •    YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@carladetchon Subscribe & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review Psychedelic Divas.

Summary: Where are Aba aba found? Join Kiersten as she tells where you can find these amazing fish.   For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes: “Gymnarchus niloticus” Global Biodiversity Information Facility, https://www.gbif.org “Gymnarchus niloticus, Aba aba” Seriously Fish, https://www.seriouslyfish.com “Morphology of Aba Knife Fish (Gymnarchus niloticus) (Cuvier, 1829)”, by S.O. Ayoola and C. E. Abotti. World Journal of Fish and Marine Sciences 2 (5): 354-356, 2010. Music written and performed by Katherine Camp   Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… This is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. This is the second episode of Aba aba, or Gymnarchus niloticus, and the second thing I like about this little known fish is where they are found. Let's talk about where in the wild this fish is naturally found and what kind of habitat they tend to like best. This episode may be a bit shorter than most, but I promise to make up for it in future episode of this series. In episode one we found out that the Aba Aba is found in Africa. They can inhabit bodies of fresh water in the Nile, Turkana, Chad, Niger, Volta, Senegal, and Gambia basins. It is wide spread throughout West African countries of Egypt, Benin, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda, and Gambia. It has been reported in Cameroon, where it is an introduced species, but identification here still needs further confirmation. By widespread I mean that they can be found in various bodies of freshwater such as lakes and rivers in these areas but they are sparsely spread.  These fish need fairly large territories, remember that can get up to five feet in length and weigh 42 pounds, and spend most of their lives as solitary individuals, so therefore, they are sparsely spread throughout their natural habitat. Now that we know where in the world to find these amazing fish, what kind of habitat are we looking for? We know they like freshwater and can be found in lakes and rivers. They will most often be found in areas with dense aquatic vegetation. They use this to hide from larger predators and to help camouflage themselves from prey items.  In rivers, they favor the edges of the water near the banks to keep out of the rushing currents toward the middle. Don't get me wrong, they can swim well, but the edges host the plants they need to rest in during the day. Aba aba are nocturnal, so they are most active at night and they spend their days resting in the vegetation. They can use the plants a bit like a hammock, supporting them while they sleep. Aba aba fish have very small eyes and are a bit sensitive to light so this is another reason to live in and around thick vegetation.  Their behavior is seasonally influenced by the rains of this continent, as are many species of animals that live on the African continent. When the rains come breeding season begins, but you'll have to wait for the next episode to find out the unique breeding behaviors of the Aba aba. That's it for the second episode of the Aba aba. Thank you for joining me to find out where this amazing fish lives because it is my second favorite thing about them.  If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next week for another exciting episode about the Aba aba.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

In this explosive continuation, Zak “RedPill78” Paine and special guest Nick Noe pick up where they left off, diving into tangled webs of corruption, espionage, and cover-ups at the highest levels of government. Nick recounts how his viral Quora post exposing the Clinton Foundation and deep-state players like Mueller, Comey, and Rosenstein sparked a firestorm that platforms rushed to censor. The episode unpacks how the Clinton email scandal, Uranium One, and covert money-laundering operations in Turkey and Ghana intersected with hidden intelligence networks. Nick shares firsthand details about sting operations involving counterfeit cash, the manipulation of evidence by Robert Mueller, and high-stakes deals linked to figures such as David Kendall and Jim Woolsey. The conversation then pivots to the Epstein case, with the hosts questioning whether Epstein's death and the disappearing evidence were part of an orchestrated clean-up, and what it means for those still expecting accountability. With unreleased recordings, insider documents, and years of research, this episode challenges the official narratives about everything from 9/11 to child trafficking, offering a raw and relentless examination of the corruption that many still refuse to see.

Does long-term regime change trigger more instability? Rashad explores lessons from history, the risks of forced changes, and what global players want for Iran's future.But it's not all global tension! The clip also covers how the markets respond to conflict, why “the market is literally rigged to stay up,” and tactical investment tips on stocks like Palantir and Meta, especially as they break new all-time highs.Crypto fans, this one's for you too—debate heats up over Bitcoin, Jack Dorsey versus Michael Saylor, and the ever-polarizing XRP.
