Our Future Voice Now: The young and the emotion of money

In this podcast produced by Jericho in association with Barclays LifeSkills, we interviewed three individuals from very different backgrounds. Ricardo Ennis who is 19 and a Lambeth Youth Councillor; Francesca Bilocca, a graduate from Durham University who is currently hunting for a job; and Iona Bain, one of the UK’s youngest experts on young people and finance. In the interviews, our guests speak about many topics: money and status, materialism, budgeting, the relationship between thrift and sustainability, Peak Stuff and student debt. Jericho Conversations is one of a number of initiatives that spontaneously emerged during the first COVID lockdown – part of a determination to use moments of crisis to pivot towards a better, fairer, more equitable and sustainable future for all. By popular demand, we have reignited the series to help find surprising and refreshing solutions and insights into a world in constant flux. Each conversation – led by an expert speaker – is designed to keep Jericho communities engaged and thinking about “what comes next?” for business and society.
