The Jamaica Stock Exchange and You is brought to you by CUMAX Wealth Management, "making more possible."

Now more than ever, leaders must act swiftly and decisively in taking actions that will give them a winning edge as they lead their teams and organizations. In these unprecedented times, leaders must look to one of the oldest success strategies often overlooked: collaboration.

Collaborating with others has proven time and time again to reap benefits that no one person can single-handedly attain. This podcast episode will discuss the newly minted Memorandum of Understanding between the Jamaica Stock Exchange and the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA).

To walk us through that is the President of the JMEA and the CEO of Jamaican Teas Limited, John Mahfood.

Some of what we looked at were:

• What is the purpose of the MOU between the JSE and the JMEA?
• How many companies registered with the JMEA?
• What is the size of companies and what stage of the business life cycle are they?
• What are some of the challenges these companies face?

And lots more.
