Vincent Maneno and Molly Benjamin

Vincent and Molly had lapped us, probably a couple of times, on their beach run before we caught up with them at the south end.

What’s your Bondi story?
”Vinny’s been living in Bondi for 8 years and I moved here in 2023 from Edgecliff. I joined the Bondi Bathers Surf Club straight away, and joined the Salties, Penguins and a few other swim groups and have been loving my Bondi life!”

How do you spend the first hour of your day?
”We usually try to kick things off with a run on the beach and a swim (if the water’s not too cold), then grab a coffee at Pocket — our little morning ritual. After that, we’ll sit down and do the Wordle and Connections.”

Is there one thing you’d like people to know about you?
I’m super passionate about helping women get confident with their money (Ed: Molly is the founder of Ladies Finance Club).

Did you meet in Bondi? How did you meet?
Yes — we met at The Royal in Bondi last year! Vinny’s originally from Tanzania and I’m from the Gold Coast, so it was at The Royal where our two worlds collided.
