đď¸ The Day After - Monday 13th October | âThe Price of Freedomâ
A heavy but uplifting start to the week as the team kicked off with laughs, weekend stories, and one of the most powerful guests to ever sit on the couch - financial advisor and wealth educator Emmanuel Asuquo.
After the usual weekend recap - pumpkin picking, chaotic Snapchat events, and light teasing - the conversation turned reflective. The hosts reacted to the story of James Gibson, a man wrongfully imprisoned for 30 years before receiving $15 million. It sparked an emotional debate about whether money could ever equal lost time, family, and dignity.
That led perfectly into the dayâs main conversation on generational wealth and ownership. Emmanuel Asuquo broke down his journey from a Tower Hamlets council estate to becoming Barclaysâ youngest financial advisor at 22, and later walking away from corporate comfort to educate the community. He spoke about the importance of collaboration over isolation (âwe love having 100% of nothingâ), exposure to new environments, and why owning our culture is essential to true freedom.
Elsewhere, Brent previewed THE PULSE - the newest show under THE NEW BLXCK Network, focusing on information and community dialogue, joining The Rotation and The Listenerâs Couch as the next pillar of the platform.
Headlines covered:
Trumpâs visit to Israel amid hostage releases
UK to host Gaza Recovery Summit
Green Party reaches 100K members
Cost-of-living pressures and British Gas winter prep
Ongoing debates around government responsibility and reform
A deeply insightful episode mixing humour, honesty, and hard truth - reminding the audience that wealth, legacy, and ownership are all part of the same fight for freedom.
