Monday kicks off with a bang this week as Vic recounts her wild night at KOKO, an exclusive members-only club that left her in dire need of aspirin. Meanwhile, Megan, a former Curve Classroom student, spills the tea (or kombucha vodka for that matter) on how the Money Reset course revolutionised her finances. Diving into the world of opulence, we look at the lavish wedding of India’s wealthiest family—celebrity appearances, a 134-day celebration, and a budget that could fund a small country. Things then take a serious turn with a debate on whether government officials should be trading stocks—conflicts of interest, anyone? Finally, we're wrapping up with a look into the impending $83 trillion wealth transfer that's poised to shake up the finance world. Happy Monday everyone! Watch this episode on YouTube.
