    Hosted by Kia Commodore, this discussion brings together Emmanuel Asuquo, Angel Arutura, Rotimi Merriman-Johnson and Elaine Babey for an honest conversation about money, identity and community.

    Together, they unpack where we really learned about money growing up, the unspoken financial rules that shaped us, and how a new generation is redefining Black British wealth.

    • How money lessons were passed down through generations
    • The influence of culture and community on financial habits
    • The unspoken rules of money within Black British households
    • Hustling culture, legacy and redefining success
    • How Gen Z and Millennials view wealth, stability and freedom

    We’ve all copied money advice we thought would make us rich — but what if it’s actually keeping you broke?

    In this episode, Kia is joined by Kennie Bukky, finance expert and money strategist, to separate the smart moves from the scams. From the worst financial advice that still goes viral, to the habits that quietly build wealth over time, Kennie is here to cut through the noise.

    💡 We get into:

    • The biggest money myths keeping Gen Z and Millennials broke
    • Why “looking rich” and being rich are two completely different things
    • The simple money changes that instantly improve your finances
    • How to filter financial advice when everyone online claims to be an expert
    • The 3 things you should prioritise with money in your 20s

    Plus, we play Rich or Ridiculous, debating everything from Buy Now Pay Later to quitting your job to become a content creator.

    This episode will make you rethink the money moves you copy, helping you finally start building wealth on your own terms.

    128. How to Earn, Learn & Build Wealth Without Going to Uni ft The Black Apprentice Network
    Aug 12 2025

    Send us a text

    Forget what you’ve heard — apprenticeships aren’t just for people who “couldn’t get into uni.”

    In this episode, Kia sits down with Elijah, founder of The Black Apprentice Network, to break down the truth about degree apprenticeships, why they deserve way more respect, and how they can set you up for success — without £30K of student debt.

    We get into:
    💡 The biggest myths about apprenticeships (and why they’re wrong)
    💡 The hidden benefits no one talks about — from networking to early career wins
    💡 Whether uni is oversold to young people in 2025
    💡 The real career progression after an apprenticeship
    💡 Why more schools need to talk about apprenticeships like they talk about UCAS

    Whether you’re picking your post-school path or thinking about a career switch, this conversation will make you look at apprenticeships in a whole new light.

    👇 Question for you:
    If you could go back, would you choose uni, an apprenticeship, or something else entirely?
