Suberia Capital's Ian Reynolds - If War Comes, Bitcoin Could Mean Freedom and Equality

4 days ago

#bitcoin #crypto #investing

What if playing it safe is your biggest risk? In this episode, Ian Reynolds pulls back the curtain on his leap from the safe world of traditional finance into the wild ride that is crypto.

We get into why Bitcoin matters way more than most people think. Not just some magic internet money, but a hedge against a shaky global economy. We talk market cycles, why gold still holds its place, and what’s coming with tokenized real-world assets.

And here’s a twist you probably didn’t expect: older generations are jumping onto Bitcoin faster than you’d guess. Ian also shares why now is not the time to sit on the sidelines if you care about where your money’s headed.

This one will challenge what you think you know about money, risk, and the future of investing.

Fave, KFit Founder Chen Chow - Fireside Advice For Founders on Exits, Scaling and More

Saturday May 31, 2025

Are we misreading what it means to build something that lasts?

In this episode, we sit down with the former founder of Fave & KFit, Chen Chow, who’s walked through fire: broke, lost, doubted—but never boring. From hustling with broken English to pitching investors with nothing but brutal honesty, their story punches right through the clichés.

We talk about knowing when to fight for your startup and when to bury it with dignity. About staying real when everyone’s faking it. About why sometimes, the best kind of help is the one that shows up quietly, without fanfare.

You’ll hear the unfiltered truth on fundraising, founders burning out, and why Malaysia’s startup scene still feels like it’s waiting to grow up. We also dive into AI, shifting work culture, and why Gen Z just isn’t built for 9-to-5 obedience.

Parti Socialis Malaysia’s Dr. Michael Jeyakumar - Why Politicians Become Corrupt

Tuesday May 13, 2025

We’ve all heard politicians talk about helping people, but what happens when someone actually means it?

Dr. Michael Jeyakumar isn’t your typical politician. He’s not slick, not hungry for power, and definitely not here to sell you a dream. In fact, he stepped away from the noise because he couldn’t stand how broken the system is.. and how comfortable we’ve all become living in it.

In this episode, we talk about the messiness of politics in Malaysia. The lies we tell ourselves about progress. The strange obsession our leaders have with looking rich while the country crumbles quietly in the background.

But it’s not all doom. We also talk about hope; real, gritty, imperfect hope. The kind that lives in ordinary people doing quiet things. This one’s not for people who love the status quo. It’s for the ones who know something’s off, and are ready to think about what comes next.

Professor James Chin - Give The East Malaysians What They Want Or Lose The Elections

Tuesday May 06, 2025

We dive into the wild, unpredictable jungle that is Malaysian politics, where East Malaysia (yep, Sabah and Sarawak) holds way more weight than most people realize. It's not just about policies anymore — it’s a chaotic mix of big egos, big money, and fragmented voices pulling in every direction. From the sway of the Malay vote to the structural mess nobody wants to fix, we unpack why political "stability" feels more like a myth.

Spoiler: real change might just come from the youth finally getting tired of the same old political drama.

Prof Geoffrey Williams - Universities Don’t Get You Good Jobs or High Salaries, So Why Bother?

Sunday Apr 20, 2025

Degrees don’t guarantee jobs anymore. So why are we still stuck with the same old education system? This episode takes a hard look at how universities are falling behind, why graduates are underpaid and underused, and what needs to change to fix it. It's not just about employability, it’s about whether our education system is preparing anyone for the world we’re actually living in.

Basic Income Earth Network's Sarath Davala - Why Everyone Needs Free Money

Monday Apr 14, 2025

What if money wasn’t something you had to fight for just to survive? In this episode, we chat with Sarath Davala, a global advocate for Universal Basic Income, or UBI.
