A team that never challenges the boss might be a bigger problem than you think.
@bharatthakrar deliberately hired people he considered smarter than himself.
He wanted people confident enough to disagree, qualified enough to offer better solutions and empowered enough to take responsibility without waiting for him to direct every move.

That financially incorrect episode with Kevin Mutiso is really mind boggling.🚀
He started with KES 11,000. Four decades later, Scanad had become a listed Pan African company valued at KES 9 billion at its height.
But the interesting part of this story is how @bharatthakrar built it. From creating separate agencies to navigate client exclusivity, to taking over McCann's Kenyan business in 24 hours and winning an Airtel mandate across 18 countries, Bharat Thakrar made some unconventional decisions along the way.
Then came another side of building a business at that scale: partnerships, ownership, governance and the question of who gets to shape the company's future. What would he negotiate differently today?

Why pay yourself a huge salary when you could structure your rewards around the growth of the business?
@KevinMutiso says he got lost in the startup salary culture while building his first company. At Oye, he's taken a different approach: a modest salary and additional equity when the business hits specific milestones.
Would you rather take home more money every month or own a bigger piece of a more valuable business?

You can have the technology. You can have the banking partner. You can even have the letter of offer. But until the money is drawn down, how secure is the deal?
For @KevinMutiso , March 2020 answered that question the hard way. COVID hit, Equity Bank rescinded its undrawn offer, and the funding pipeline Alternative Circle was counting on disappeared. The business was left exposed. So was Kevin.

If you had a few minutes with the people shaping African finance, what would you ask?
We're heading to Angola for the Africa Financial Summit- AFIS where over 1,200 thought leaders will be gathering.
We've got a few conversations we're looking forward to, but we'd rather not make this trip about just our questions.
So, let's make the access count.
Who would you like us to hear from, and what should we ask them? Drop your suggestions below. 👇

At 19, @KevinMutiso was managing investments for some of Kenya's top CEOs. He bought Kenya Airways shares while in Form 2. Later, he raised $1 million to build a fintech. But there was a point in his entrepreneurial journey when he couldn't afford KES 500 for transport to a meeting.
What happened between those two realities? A lending business challenged by fraud, a potential KES 200 million banking facility that fell through, personal assets sold and a complete rethink of what it means to build a business.
Today, he's building Oye around Kenya's boda boda economy, with a vision that could see riders become shareholders.

What would you ask Africa's top bankers and investors?
From access to finance to business growth, @JustIvyAfrica & @barrackbukusi are bringing fresh perspectives to #AFIS2026 in Luanda!
Follow them for interviews, insights and behind-the-scenes moments!
Be honest. When you budget for a night out, are you budgeting for the night you planned or the night that might happen?
We put this question to the One Night Only Brunch Edition crowd ahead of NE-YO's performance. Some came with firm spending limits, Some had their Wives as Financial advisors and Others had found ways to keep costs down. A few were happy to let the evening determine the damage.
Turns out, the plan for your money can be just as entertaining as the plan for your night.

Imagine being known for your art, having bought land and travelled abroad, then accepting an internship that makes you question your progress.
That was Jemima Kakizi. But two years later, she was curating exhibitions, using skills and experience that internship helped her develop. A career move can look like a step backwards before you understand what it is preparing you for.

Artistic talent can open doors. Understanding the business behind the work can open even more.
@jemimaArtist expanded her career beyond creating art, learning about partnerships, funding and the opportunities that help creative work grow. That journey now includes @impunduarts in Kigali, a creative venture requiring an estimated RWF 10 million to RWF 15 million investment.
From earning through her art to exploring curation commissions and building a space for other creatives, Jemima shares what it takes to develop a craft into a business.

You can sell out a show and still leave millions on the table.
@namelesskenya breaks down the difference between pricing tickets at KSh 2,000 and KSh 4,000, and why getting that decision wrong can dramatically change the bottom line.
When your venue has a fixed capacity, every pricing decision carries weight.

A wedding can cost you long after the guests have gone home. @namelesskenya looks back at his wedding and admits that, years later, the money spent on that one day feels different.
The goal was to celebrate without going overboard, so instead of relying entirely on grand gestures, they created a moment he still remembers: his wife arriving at church by boat.
The cost? About KSh 3,000 to 4,000. It raises a question worth asking before the wedding budget gets out of hand: are you paying for a memorable experience or an expensive performance?

You said YES. We heard you. 😉
We asked if you wanted Financially Incorrect Live. The replies came in, the questions followed, and some of you were already asking where to show up.
So, Nairobi, we hope you meant it. 🤭 🔥 We’re finally bringing the Financially Incorrect community together for a day of the conversations you love, the people behind them, and a celebration of how far we’ve come.
Getting to celebrate it with you? That’s another. And we may or may not have saved the best part for after the shows. 🥂 🥳
