It is time for another episode. I am Heneka Watkis-Porter, the host and creator of The Entrepreneurial You podcast if you are new here. If you missed the show last week, you would have missed the brand story of StarApple, Jamaica’s 1st Data Science & AI firm. Adrian Dunkley shared the journey of its genesis and his successes, including the Recent investment from the RJRGLEANER Group. StarApple is on its way to an Initial Public Offering, IPO, and we are here for it. I invite you to check out that episode after you have listened to this one.

This week, you will hear from someone who has built a legacy from his 1st job packing sheets and towels for two years. He worked hard, believed in his ability, and is now a Businessman, Entrepreneur. It promises to be another gem of an episode. Before I tell you who that is, I have to thank those who continue to support The Entrepreneurial You.henekawatkisporter.com, The National Peoples Co-operative Bank of Jamaica Limited, Committed to the growth and development of our members; Profit Jumpstarter, and The Jamaica Stock Exchange, whose podcast, The Jamaica Stock Exchange & You, is hosted and produced by me. Do give it a listen as well.

Opening business Tip courtesy of the National PC Bank of Jamaica:

Invest – Investing is important for every business. Investing in your business may include: investing in yourself (gaining the knowledge and skills to run your business); investing in your products and services, tools, and marketing to maintain and grow your business and investing in stocks or other securities as a way to generate extra revenue to grow your business financially.

My guest on episode 273 of The Entrepreneurial You is Hugh Graham, C.E.O of Paramount Trading, a company he started in 1991. Paramount has been committed to delivering the best in the raw chemicals industry. Today, they are a leading manufacturer and distributor of chemical raw materials to Jamaica’s market leaders— the food & beverage industry, construction, hospitality, the bauxite and mining industries among others.

Today’s Money Tip, brought to you by Profit Jumpstarter: Invest For The Long Term:

Investing is for the long term. Buy good, solid investments that will pay off over the long run and be sure to ignore short-term fluctuations. Patience is key when investing, don’t think about short-term or quick gain.

Thank you for tuning in to this episode with Hugh Graham. My most standout moment from today’s episode is when Hugh did that interview; the interviewee asked why he wanted to work for the company instead of starting his own business. He went away to think about it. The support he received from his friends at the time was phenomenal. This experience shows the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded people.

It is time for another episode. I am Heneka Watkis-Porter, the host and creator of The Entrepreneurial You podcast if you are new here. So last week I had the pleasure of speaking with one of Jamaica’s most famed business leaders, a guest who we can all say, needs no introduction. It was refreshing to hear from someone who has come from a famous business family but was also brave enough to venture out on his own to establish himself in his own right. Gary Matalon left several gems with us. If you missed it, I invite you to go check out that episode, you’d be glad you did. This week, it is my pleasure to speak with a fast-rising entrepreneur whose visionary scope is to make Jamaica the Global Hub of data and A.I. innovation to drive job creation and economic growth. I am already excited about what is about to go down.

Opening business Tip courtesy of the National PC Bank of Jamaica: Focus on Building your Customer’s Experience. Your customer’s experience can make or break your business. Therefore, much effort should be placed on developing and executing a quality experience for every customer/client that engages with your business.

My guest on episode 272 of The Entrepreneurial You is Adrian Dunkley, a Technologist and Decision Scientist, with over 12 years of experience in Data/Decision Science & A.I. across the finance, travel, retail, marketing, risk, research and Customer Experience domains. He is also the President of the Jamaica Technology and Digital Alliance, CEO of StarApple AI and VP of Data & Decision Sciences for Cornerstone Bank/Barita Investments.

Today’s Money Tip, brought to you by Profit Jumpstarter: Max Out Your High-Interest Savings Account

With higher interest rates these days it is important to max out your high-interest savings account and benefit from the higher interest rates on these accounts. Unlike traditional savings accounts, high-yield savings accounts reward you with a higher interest rate and your money will grow even faster due to compound interest. A good use for this account is for your emergency fund, travel fund or any other short-term goal you may have. Knowledge is nothing without execution so be sure to implement this money tip!

It is time for another episode. I am Heneka Watkis-Porter, the host and creator of The Entrepreneurial You podcast if you are new here.

Did you catch last week’s episode with the man behind Spur Tree Spices, Mohan Jagnarine? It was an inspiring episode, to say the least! Mohan shared his journey, marked by humble beginnings with us. The experience of walking bare-footed on Guyana’s dirt track to get to school, having only got his first pair of shoes at 10. Oh, the lessons his life taught him! This week, I am speaking with a celebrity business owner, to learn about his path to entrepreneurial success. It is going to be another great one.

David Letterman has a show, “My Guest Needs No Introduction.” I feel that way about my guest on episode 271 of The Entrepreneurial You. He is Gary Matalon, Director of the KLE Group, Nuestone Limited, Construction Systems International, and more. Gary is a business mogul and an adventurous individual who, from what I can see, has a zest for life and living.

PODCAST REVIEW: So much value here: Heneka is an exceptional host, and she has put a lot of care into her show. You won’t find any angles here, just real stories from real entrepreneurs all over the world. Highly recommend this to anyone! RWListens USA

Today’s Money Tip, brought to you by Profit Jumpstarter: Start Investing Early…

The sooner you start investing the better. By investing early, you allow your investments more time to grow. Money has a time value. Money earns and grows with time. Money grows with the power of compounding. Don’t waste your time and start investing today. Remember, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time to plant a tree is today!

Thank you for tuning in to this episode with Gary Matalon. A stand-out moment from today’s episode is learning about one of Gary’s gut-wrenching experiences as an entrepreneur which cost him hundreds of thousands of US dollars when a former Jamaican government reneged on duty-waiver for expensive kitchen equipment import during the set-up phase of Usain Bolt Tracks & Records. In the nick of time, insight from a friend caused him to reach out to the Finance Ministry to ask about a payment plan which saved the day. What’s yours?
