Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 of the Faith & Finance Podcast by the Pentecostal Community Bank.

Hosted by Brenda Emmanus OBE, this episode features Mahari Hay award-winning finance sector director, community leader, and co-founder of the Community, Corporate & Culture Group.

“They didn’t open the door… so I held it open for others.”

In this powerful conversation, Mahari shares his journey from growing up in Jamaica to building a successful career in the UK financial sector. But beyond the titles, this episode explores identity, purpose, faith, and the responsibility that comes with influence.

He speaks openly about navigating corporate spaces without representation, the importance of opening doors for others, and why financial knowledge must be shared — not gatekept.

This is a deeply honest, faith-rooted conversation about legacy, community, access, and redefining success beyond individual achievement.
