  • 89 - The Former McDonald’s Worker Who Now Owns 3 Restaurants in the McDonald’s Franchise

    What does it really take to build a successful business?

    In this episode, Joey takes us through the journey that took him from working at McDonald’s and cleaning tables to building businesses, becoming a McDonald’s franchisee, and now running three restaurants.

    But this conversation goes far beyond his success story.

    Joey shares the realities of entrepreneurship, including why you shouldn’t rush to quit your 9–5, how to test a business as a side hustle, the importance of resilience and problem-solving, how to manage money in your business, and why systems are essential for scaling.

    He also breaks down what it actually takes to become a franchisee, the 11-month application process, the sacrifices he made along the way, and his ambition to create opportunities and generational impact.

    If you're thinking about starting a business, growing one, or simply trying to figure out your next move, this conversation is for you.

  • 88 - No One Is An Overnight Success | An Exclusive Interview With Eric Gugua

    What does it really take to build something meaningful?

    Eric Gugua is no longer simply trying to find his place in the world. After years of exploring photography, filmmaking, content creation, technology, business, and different creative pursuits, he has reached a point where his work is increasingly about one thing: contribution.

    Today, Eric uses his platform, experiences, and growing influence to help people think differently about life, purpose, growth, and the difficult seasons that come with the journey. From creating content that reaches millions to organizing conversations and events, mentoring younger people, and investing his time in communities, his work is rooted in the belief that one person can help construct a better reality for others.

    In this conversation, he opens up about learning how to struggle well, finding purpose, using what you already have, embracing different seasons of life, and understanding that even the experiences that feel like setbacks can eventually become part of your contribution.

    This is an episode about resilience, purpose, growth, and becoming the kind of person whose life can make someone else's journey a little easier

  • 87 - She Quit Her Job to Build a School, Then Almost Ran Out of Money | The Story of Penelope Brooke

    What if some of the skills Ghana needs most are the very ones young people are least interested in pursuing?

    In this conversation, Penelope, founder of the African Center for Technical Training (ACTT), talks about the perception problem surrounding technical and vocational careers in Ghana.

    Construction, agriculture, health, technology, and manufacturing have the potential to employ millions of young people. Yet many young people still gravitate toward careers they see as more “sexy”, while technical careers are often overlooked.

    Penelope shares why changing that perception matters, what she discovered while visiting technical training institutions, and why training someone to become a skilled artisan involves far more than simply learning how to use tools.

    She also opens up about her own journey, from struggling to find a job after university, to leaving her job with “no second plan,” using her savings to start ACT, struggling to survive before funding came through, and eventually building a team and institution around her vision.

    This conversation is about skills, jobs, entrepreneurship, perception, and what it really takes to build solutions to Ghana’s problems.

    Watch the full conversation and let us know: Are young people choosing careers based on what Ghana needs or what society considers successful?

  • 86 - Ghana Has a Narrow View of Gospel Music | Kyei Mensah

    In this episode of Unscripted with Raygan, Kyei Mensah takes us behind the scenes of his journey as a musician and into the business of music.

    We talk about how his journey started, growing up around music, his experiences with awards and recognition, and the lessons he has learned along the way.

    Kyei also shares his perspective on Ghana’s gospel music industry, why artists need to build communities instead of only chasing big numbers, the importance of consistency, and why musicians need to understand the business behind their art.

    We break down how money moves through music - streaming and distribution, publishing, royalties, production, promotion, and concerts - and discuss the costs that can come with releasing and promoting a song.

    It’s a conversation about music, business, creativity, community, recognition, and building a career that lasts.

  • 85 - The Biggest Money Mistakes Ghanaians Are Making Right Now

    You don't need to be rich to start investing. But you do need to understand what you're putting your money into.

    In this conversation, Seyram Aku Ofori-Atta Ndinya and Mimi Anane-Appiah from Investment Friends break down investing in simple terms and answer some of the questions many Ghanaians have about building wealth.

    We discuss:

    Why chasing high returns without understanding risk can be dangerous

    The difference between investing and trading

    How your risk tolerance should influence your investment decisions

    Whether you really need a lot of money to start investing

    How mutual funds work

    What ETFs are and how they can help you diversify

    The investment options available to Ghanaians

    How to think about investing based on your goals and timeline

    Why you should verify an investment company before giving them your money

    One of the biggest takeaways? Higher potential returns usually come with higher risk. So before asking, “How much can I make?”, you also need to ask, “How much can I afford to lose?”

    Watch the full conversation and rethink how you approach your money.
