In this episode of Born to Trade, we’re joined by Nicolette Mashile—financial educator, speaker, and media personality—for a grounded discussion on the real skills that drive long-term financial success. Together with Nima, she explores how managing emotions like fear, greed, and guilt is often more important than market knowledge.
They examine the rising popularity of trading in South Africa, the risk of flashy influencers selling false dreams, and why emotional intelligence, financial literacy, and a solid understanding of risk are key to surviving and thriving in volatile markets.
What you'll learn:
✅How emotional control impacts your trading and investing decisions.
✅The importance of knowing your risk appetite.
✅Red flags to avoid in the world of online trading.
✅The role of platform trust and fast withdrawals in trader confidence.
✅Why personal finance is not group work—it’s personal.
Nicolette also shares her views on why many people make poor financial decisions due to lack of education, status pressure, and misunderstanding of debt.
This episode is packed with takeaways for anyone interested in finance, from aspiring traders to seasoned investors.
