James Akinyemi is a Bright Network member and recent graduate from the University of Roehampton. Following university he went onto secure a role at St. James's Place Wealth Management, and in this podcast he gives us everything from how he knew finance was right for him (spoiler: he started at a young age), how he navigated the graduate application process, alongside his top advice and recommended reading!

James is a really engaging speaker and I hope you'll agree that this episode is as motivational as it is informative.
