Firm believer of transparency, accountability & getting people qualified in their field sharing their insights ESPECIALLY when it comes to money. It's a non-negotiable.
Given where we are as an economy & in terms of financial education - having nameless, faceless folks recklessly dishing out terrible advice is incredibly damaging.
Anonymity often means a lack of accountability.
somehow we missed Clyde - I'm never going to hear the end of this - @C_Renzo29
Clyde is the go-to guy for everything data related. A FPL maverick. He's also incredibly good at faceswapping people.
Special shout-out to @_Bayes_Theorem for always being a solid mentor. Been immense in helping me work through the BankerX vision, blind spots in negotiations, sharpening my trading & just life in general.

Part I: Understanding why corporates are inherently structured to keep you underpaid ++ how stock based compensation, relentless buybacks & stimulus packages keep the widening the gap. bankerx.co.za/p/47-2020-09-3…
Part II: Figuring out just how much you're underpaid by. Salary benchmarking, how moving jobs boosts your earnings & the "bump" effect of getting promoted. bankerx.co.za/p/48-2020-10-0…
There's a strong chance your future self will thank you for learning about DeFi & investing early in its applications
Traditional financial intermediaries have introduced so much friction, red tape & inefficiency - many existing processes are lethargic & just waiting for disruption
One criminal aspect about banks - the spread between borrowing & lending rates. Effectively using our money to make more money.
"Hey, please deposit your money at 5%, we're lending it out at 12%"
P2P lending adopting dynamically adjusted interest rates is the future.
The suffocating hierarchy of corporates enabled by endless "promotions" & hollow titles has given many people a false sense of authority & control which mean absolutely nothing outside the office
"Director of young talent management" is fancy for "I read CVs"
... yet it's easy to get drunk with that tiny piece of power & have it replace your entire existence.
Your personality revolves around a title with little power outside of this small sphere.
We all know that person at the braai who INSISTS on telling you about their corporate grade, how many deals they worked on* & the execs they run shoulders with (the name-dropper)
Corporate brainwashing at it's finest
*Worked on = sat on a conference call & took notes
