• I Can Teach Your Kids, But I’m Punished for Raising My Own| Bread & Butter Podcast - Ep 70 Ft. Joy Mbakwe

  In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Tayo and Eman sit down with educator, content creator, and cultural commentator Joy Mbakwe for a rich, unapologetic conversation about purpose, parenting, womanhood, and legacy. From her beginnings as a voracious reader and writer to her current role as an assistant headteacher and mother, Joy shares how her love of books, strong family foundation, and church upbringing shaped her worldview and ambitions. She opens up about the joys and challenges of being raised in a high-achieving household, the pressures of identity, and the lessons she learned navigating Black British womanhood in education and beyond. The discussion takes a nuanced dive into the state of the UK education system, especially for Black children, addressing disparities, structural bias, and the dangers of outsourcing parenting to schools. Joy reflects on the power of representation in classrooms and the importance of creating safe, nurturing home environments that build resilience, discipline, and identity. We also explore how marriage and motherhood impacted her career trajectory, the realities of being an ambitious woman in a system not built to accommodate working mothers, and the importance of supportive, emotionally secure partners. This episode is a masterclass in wisdom, vulnerability, and truth, spanning faith, feminism, cultural capital, and the long-term value of investing in oneself. 🎧 Tap in now, and don’t forget to Like, Share & Subscribe!

• 100K a Year and Still Broke! | Bread & Butter Podcast - Ep 69

  In this episode, Tayo and Eman rare back on home soil after filming in Dubai to reflect deeply on the real cost of building a legacy, creating meaningful content, and navigating personal finance in a system that often feels rigged against everyday people. They open up about their journey behind the scenes, discussing the emotional highs of fan recognition and impact, contrasted with the very real frustrations of content creation, algorithm struggles, and financial sacrifices. Eman shares a powerful story about turning down a six-figure contract in order to remain independent and committed to his community, highlighting the tension between personal freedom and financial security. Throughout the episode, they dismantle the myth that earning a six-figure salary equates to wealth. With rising living costs, heavy taxation, and increasing social pressure, even high earners are feeling the pinch. Tayo and Eman explore how true wealth is less about income and more about freedom, creating income streams that don’t rely on your physical presence, investing early, and building something that can outlive you. The conversation also dives into the current state of property investment in the UK, the implications of recent legislation, and alternative strategies like HMOs and Airbnb. They remind us that while the system may feel limiting, there are ways to break free and create new paths, especially when we work together and share knowledge. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that building legacy is a long game. It requires sacrifice, conviction, and community.  Tayo and Eman aren’t just here for content, they’re here to change lives, bit by bit. If you’ve ever felt stuck, undervalued, or unsure about your next step, this episode is for you. 🎧 Tap in now, and don’t forget to Like, Share & Subscribe!

Discernment Is Everything Hayley reveals how she turns down stages, podcasts, and collabs if God doesn’t give her peace, including a prophetic moment where she was told not to post a powerful Instagram Live. A year later, that person was exposed. “It’s not just about what’s popular. It’s about what God is approving.” 4. The Dangers of Spiritual Gluttony We live in a culture of more, more, more, but Hayley challenges us to kill the craving for comparison, and trust that contentment is not complacency. 5.
