Financial journalist turned creator Kalilah Enriquez Reynolds joins John to unpack how she became Jamaica’s “money lady” and built Money Media to educate the English-speaking Caribbean on personal finance, mindset, and financial freedom. Born in Belize and based in Jamaica, Kalilah traces her path from newsroom to niche creator, why she launched Taking Stock on YouTube after TV passed, and how early IMF-era reforms and a surging Jamaica Stock Exchange opened doors for everyday investors. We dig into her wealth definition—comfort plus the capacity to help family and community—and the practical sequence behind her new Money Mission Workbook: budget → debt do-over → invest. Expect a refreshing take on comparison traps, ownership, and building wealth where you are.
