It's The Jamaica Stock Exchange & You Podcast, and I am your host, Heneka Watkis-Porter. Some financial moves require huge down payments at a time. Investing isn't necessarily one of those.

| Enterprise Risk Management and its Importance to Businesses | 04 Apr 2022 | 00:17:28 | |
According to cgma.org, “Enterprise risk management (ERM) is the process of identifying and methodically addressing the potential events that represent risks to achieving strategic objectives or opportunities to gain competitive advantage. Risk management is an essential element of any organisation's strategic management and should be embedded in the ongoing activities of the business. The fundamental elements of ERM are the assessment of significant risks and the implementation of suitable responses. With that said, why is ERM important for the business? This week’s episode explores this with David Hall, Managing Director, DC Consultants and Associates. Some of what we looked at were:

| Credit Ratings Made Simple | 28 Mar 2022 | 00:21:27 | |
At some point in the life of an individual, organization or government, they will need to borrow money to fund their projects. Lending agencies will want to ensure that they are creditworthy, which their credit ratings can help determine. A credit rating can be assigned to any entity that seeks to borrow, whether it be an individual, a corporation, a state or a sovereign government. To simplify an otherwise complex issue of credit ratings is Wayne Dass, CEO of Caribbean Information & Credit Rating Services Ltd (CariCRIS). Some of what we looked at were:

| Jamaica & Ghana Unite: Possibilities for Investing in Africa | 14 Mar 2022 | 00:26:11 | |
The West has tried to alter our psyche, to make us believe that Africa is uncivilized and should not be desired. The truth has been discovered. For some of us, we have long known that this was far from being a fact. While for others still, the time has come for us to reclaim what has been robbed from us, that is our longing for identity and a sense of connection to the Motherland. What better way to establish such a connection than through wealth building. Let's contemplate how the capital markets in the Caribbean and the continent of Africa might work together to create wealth for its people. We've invited Ekow Alfedzie, Managing Director, Ghana Stock Exchange, to engage us about what is happening in the Ghanian Market and how we might work together to achieve even greater success.

| The Data Privacy Act | 07 Mar 2022 | 00:21:57 | |
The rental of safety deposit boxes at banks and locks on filing cabinets at the office are clear indications that much premium has always been placed on data privacy. And it is not just businesses that need to be concerned about it. Individuals too have much at stake to protect themselves from the risks that can arise when they are breaches. With the onset of the pandemic which has seen a migration of the world to the online space, it has become even more critical for us to be intentional when conducting business particularly in the online space. In 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), came into full effect after being adopted in 2016. But exactly what is it and what does it do? We will find out this and more in this episode where I have invited Chukwuemeka Cameron, Podcaster/Attorney-at-Law/Founder, Design Privacy to share with. Some of what we looked at were:

From Handsome Tree in Demerara, Guyana, to Spur Tree, Jamaica hails a tenacious Jamaican who has had to show his passport and driver's license to convince skeptics of his nationality. He's had several stints in the restaurant business which gave him the confidence and the experience he needed to excel as a business owner. But prior to the success, he's had to move from one relative's house to another while doing cooking demonstrations, staying in motels and reserving left-overs served at breakfast for lunch and dinner, amidst other challenges, none of which has deterred him even when the going got tough.

| Why Messages of Hope, Love and Peace are Important to the Development of Our Economy | 13 Dec 2021 | 00:20:12 | |
Up until recent decades when behavioral economics has led to renewed attention to emotion and subjectivity, subjective approaches such as hope, peace and love were not seen as good fits when having dialogue about the economy. Rather, there was much more focus on rationality, self-interests and other objective benchmarks. The effects of hope are positive, ranging from longevity and health to innovation and well-being. But false hopes, disappointment, or possible manipulation of societal hope must be guarded against. Nevertheless, in these atypical times, we need a spirit of hope, love and peace to help us navigate our economic restoration. To help me explore the topic of “Why messages of hope, love and peace are importing the development of our economy,” is Dr Donald Rhodd, Love Changes Life. Some of what we looked at were:

| The Role of Mental Health in Achieving Economic Wellness | 06 Dec 2021 | 00:15:15 | |
According to psychiatrictimes.com. "A new Lancet Commission report on mental health said that mental disorders are on the rise in every country in the world and will cost the global economy $16 trillion by 2030...“Mental health is often neglected and underfunded, even though nearly 2 billion people suffer from mental illness every year...As young people face the brunt of the global burden of mental illnesses, the report places great emphasis on experiences in childhood and adolescence, which shape life-long mental health." Clearly, there is a cost to society when its citizenry isn't whole in all areas of their lives. Dr Donovan Thomas, Founder, Choose Life International joins me today to talk about "The Role of Mental Health in Achieving Economic Wellness." Some of what we looked at were:

| Music as a Viable Means of Social Intervention | 29 Nov 2021 | 00:22:34 | |
In the words of Bob Marley, "One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain." We know that music has several benefits including improving mood, decreasing pain and anxiety, and facilitating opportunities for emotional expression. Over the years, countless research suggests that music is good for our physical and mental health in numerous ways. BUT does it also have the potential to be an effective and viable means of social intervention especially in areas of the inner-city? Well, to share insight is the Project Manager for the Agency for Inner-City Renewal (AIR), Dr Henley Morgan as we talk about Music as a viable means of social intervention.

| The Value of Private Sector Support for the Social Sector | 22 Nov 2021 | 00:18:35 | |
Countries, companies and constituents all aspire to achieve development. Oftentimes, this comes at the expense of putting our future generations at risk. The question is, does development really occur if what we do doesn't leave the world better than we found it? Is it worth it if our actions leave our planet in distress? Does the end justify the means? Over the years, markets and socialism have been looked at as being mutually exclusive concepts. In recent times, we have seen somewhat of a middle ground taking its place in the traditional market dichotomy. The result is a sweet spot that takes into account social business, impact investing and now even social stock exchanges. Why is it necessary for the private sector to support the social sector? We will find out in this episode. I have invited the Hon. Thalia Lyn, JSSE Brand Ambassador to talk about the Value of Private Sector Support for the Social Sector. Some of what we looked at were:
