Wow… this is really happening. 🥹. Yesterday, we had the privilege of speaking at Spotify Mid-Year Check-In event, and it felt beautiful.

We had a fireside chat about our new book, The Wealth Habit, our journey to financial independence, and what ordinary people can start doing today to build wealth without sacrificing their wellbeing.

Around 50 people gathered for what became such an intimate, warm and energising experience.

We had Spotify staff, our amazing Dream Makers from Financial Joy Academy and even some of our childhood friends.

That mix made it feel deeply special ❤️

The fireside chat was full of honest conversations about money, mindset, wealth building, habits, identity, and what it really takes to create more freedom in today’s world.

One of my favourite parts was the personalised Q&A and meeting lovely people afterwards while signing copies of The Wealth Habit.

There’s something humbling about hearing people say:

"I feel like I can do it because you've shown us it is possible"

Also… can we talk about the food for a second? 😅

Rice and peas, salt fish fritters, plantain, chickpea curry, and amazing drinks.

Spotify did not come to play 😂👏🏾

A huge thank you as well to the other incredible speakers featured alongside us:

Jenny Okolo, Selina Brown, and the amazing cousins who run GymBusy.

So much wisdom, honesty and inspiration shared in one room.

Moments like this remind me why Mary and I do what we do.

For us, this work has always been about community and impact.

Even if one person leaves a room believing a bigger future is possible for them, then it was worth it.

Thank you, Spotify 🙏🏾 and a special thanks to Patris Gordon for making this day possible and to Edward Odofin for connecting us ❤️

Some meetings feel bigger than the moment itself. On Saturday, Mary and I met the amazing Paul C Brunson ‪@WeNeedToTalk-Podcast‬ , and I genuinely believe this was no ordinary encounter.

We give God glory for everything that happens in our lives, and this felt like one of those moments when a seed was sown on good ground.

Here's some of what I learned and will apply to my life:

1. PRIORITISATION & ALIGNMENT

Paul shared a story about how he once had to get a helicopter from a busy filming schedule to make sure he attended his son's basketball game.

As a father of two boys, this spoke deeply to me.

There is no point making money, building status, or chasing success if you can’t be there for the people who matter most when it matters most to them.

2. "YOUR WIFE IS YOUR SUPERPOWER"

I already knew this one, but it was beautiful to see Paul share this fearlessly.

His life turned around when he met his beautiful wife, Jill Brunson.

3. HEARING vs LISTENING

Many of us hear through our ears but rarely listen with compassion, empathy and presence.

This is critical in relationships of all kinds.

4. KEEP MOVING

To many of us, Paul looks like he’s at the top of his career, but to him, he's near the bottom and climbing up.

This was fascinating to me because a lot of us just settle.

I loved hearing Paul say "I'm hungry", "I'm a shark", "I have to keep moving".

He has a 7-year plan, and that spoke to me. However, he also acknowledged the need to rest.

5. THE PREMIUM EFFECT

When he moved to the UK, he was not popular, but this is where he eventually experienced his premium effect.

He left NY, and he's flourishing here like a tree by the riverside.

Something about his gift, story, energy and message carries a particular premium here.

Ask yourself, can I outperform here or somewhere else?

6. MAKE ATTENTION INDIVIDUAL

One area he thought he could improve on was to give his sons more individual attention.

We raise children in the same homes, but each child is so unique and requires individual attention.

7. IMPACT OVER MONEY

When Paul shifted his focus from making money to having an impact, he made even more money.

8. HOMELAND

Paul's love for his homeland, Jamaica 🇯🇲, is unmatched.

He even had a Jamaican flag with him at the event and proudly flew it a few times.

Imagine if we were all this proud of our homelands 😊.

Finally, Paul is a fellow believer. He knows the source of his success 🙏🏽.

Thank you, Tope Icie Chiedozie, for making ‪@thesitdownuk‬ so special. May God bless the works of your hands abundantly.

Thanks, too, for honouring Mary and me at the event. We didn't see that one coming at all!! ❤️

If you've not read Paul's books, they're must-reads: FIND LOVE & KEEP LOVE.

And of course, his sensational podcast: WE NEED TO TALK



Happy Monday. Keep moving, but don’t forget what matters most.

BIG announcement. After the success of The Wealth Habit, we are proud to unveil our next breakthrough in personal finance: The Wealth Habit Ring™ 😀🙌🏽

A luxury wearable designed to help you build wealth in real time.

▪️ It detects impulse spending

▪️ Flags lifestyle creep

▪️ Activates Klarna Caution Mode

▪️ Nudges you to invest before you spend

We have also been testing a premium feature that vibrates when you say, “I deserve it”, five days before payday.

April Fools 😅

But the truth is, this is exactly why we wrote The Wealth Habit.

Most people do not need another gadget. They need better habits.

Wealth is rarely built in one dramatic moment. It is built in the quiet, repeated decisions that seem small at first but change everything over time.

Spend less than you earn.

Automate your investing.

Keep lifestyle creep in check.

Repeat.

No ring can do that for you.

But a habit can.

The Wealth Habit is a Sunday Times Bestseller and is out now: geni.us/TheWealthHabit

If this post made you smile, let it also remind you that building wealth does not have to be complicated. It just has to be consistent 😀.
