I was honoured to spend this episode chatting with Antiguan Megan Samuel-Fields, who is a woman on a mission to improve financial wellness for Caribbean people. As a certified public accountant (CPA), Attorney-at-Law, PhD candidate, life coach and the CEO of Samuel-Fields Consulting, her plate is full, and her passion for making every second and every cent count is unmistakable.

This episode continues exploring the essential question: how do we, as Caribbean women, maximize our contribution to regional economic development while protecting our wellbeing? We discuss the real barriers – the knowledge gaps, the tendency to follow only what our parents practiced – and the specialized strategy required to move beyond them.

In this conversation, Megan shares her insights on:
💲🌿The Power of Layering: How combining disciplines (like accounting, law, and finance) has created a powerful, integrated advantage for her as a Caribbean business leader navigating regional and global markets.

💲🌿Her scores on the Island Woman Ambition/Wellbeing Equation™: A candid discussion on balancing a 9/10 ambition with a sustainable 8/10 wellbeing, and the discipline required to maintain that equilibrium.

💲🌿The Founder’s Foundation: Practical steps and a “survival kit” for Caribbean entrepreneurs seeking growth and resilience in their ventures.

💲🌿Redefining Financial Health: Moving past traditional definitions to understand financial wellness as a holistic life practice tied to intentional living, not just the balance in your bank account.

This week, for our Sunlight Raise The Bar edition, we sat down with Tyson Sybateli; one of the sharpest pens and most compelling voices in the current SA hip hop landscape.

We unpacked the mindset behind his craft, the stories that shape his music, and the discipline it takes to keep growing while staying true to the art. Tyson opened up about evolution, intention, and the pressure (and privilege) of raising the bar with every drop.

Tap in and catch the gems.
