CPI Podcast Ep. 47 - Kwency Griffith: From Radio Announcer to Real Estate Developer

1 Aug 2026 · 1 h 16 min · S1 E47

"None!" That was Kwency Griffith's answer when I asked what opportunity he saw in the market before he emptied his savings and founded Vybe Radio. No gap. No safety net. Just the belief that if no space existed, he would create one. A decade later, Vybe Radio broadcasts island-wide across Saint Lucia, reaches over 160,000 followers across platforms, and is streamed world-wide. But this episode isn't about radio. It's about what Kwency built quietly, on the side a property portfolio that started with land that sat untouched for 15 years and ended with Petit Paradis Villas: 3 x one-bedroom units, 1 x two-bedroom unit, and a pool in Corinth. Growing up and he decided what he DID NOT want to be. From radio sales to on-air talent; how he got his first break at The Wave. The harsh criticism that almost broke him and why he later thanked the person who gave it. How Vybe Radio positioned itself around youth, technology, and edutainment, before anyone else in St. Lucia was doing it. Then the property lightbulb: why he decided real estate was the only path to retiring on his own terms. Find out when he confirmed that property was the one business that will keep paying, even after the bank that told him preferential rates only went to certain people in society. Navigating DCA approvals, parking requirements, and the approval process in St. Lucia. Choosing a contractor, what he looked for and why. The decision to bite the bullet and do all 4 units at once instead of building in phases. His rental strategy. And finally...what financial freedom means to him and the advice he would give to his 30-year-old self. #BankofSaintLucia #NagicoInsurances #CaribbeanMetals #MandC 🎙 Caribbean Property Investing Podcast Helping you build wealth through real estate across the Caribbean.
