The DragonFly Institute is a culmination of the work that I've been doing all along in my career as I journeyed in building my financial planning practice. It encompasses my passion and my purpose and my profession. I formalized this ( finally) and understood the impact I make, want to make and will make in the #FinancialLiteracy and #FinancialChangemaking arenas. In summary we hope to impact people's financial lives, starting with 1. Giving 1 million books which I authored to 1 million kids. The books are called: 1. Does Money Grow on Trees?! 2. How to Grow a Money Tree?! 3. So You've Grown a Money Tree?! My daughter, Chelsea and her Friend, Stevie co-wrote and my nephew, Alanzo is the illustrator. Changing their narratives too. Right! When we take these books to the Townships and Cape Flats, we will narrate the stories through an edutainment theater production and follow the impact of this intervention in their lives. What then follows is a financial literacy programme at adolescent stage ( post school and tertiary studies) as they enter the early income earning years of their lives, and on to making #SmartMoneyMoves in building their Financial plans and lastly.... wait there's more... 2. #FinancialDating which is an online couples programme owned and trademarked by The DragonFly Institute including a workbook and couples game- through this we hope to lower the financial challenges that lead to divorce and financial abuse, but mostly to help couples create wealth. Cause wealth is a mindset and well deserved. Now, I need your help: We've made it to the Regional finals of the #gsafrica2024 Please vote for us! Vote Vote vote. Help us win. Help.us make impact.

This just in 🚨 : Bulgarian Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva is taking over the portfolio of startups, research, and innovation in the new Commission. This change signifies that research now stands as a distinct area in this Commission, unlike the previous super portfolio structure. What are your thoughts on this shift? Do you believe this change is positive or not
