  • Cutting through the BS

    I’ve seen some folks comment on how this program’s interviewers can be pretty nasty, negative, etc…and that is exactly why I love this program. Tough questions help us learn what someone really thinks.

    As a corporate internal auditor I have so much to learn from their style.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wawasan vs Bersatu: Divided We Stand?
Q: Is this going to be a permanent feature of our democratic politics, or is it a passing phase?
The guests suggest that splinters and leadership contests are recurring in Malaysian politics, but the emphasis is on how parties adapt, reform, and maintain national governance objectives rather than allowing divisions to permanently derail coalition work.
Skechers Malaysia: Growth Beyond Comfort
Q: How has Skechers handled geopolitics and boycott calls in Southeast Asia?
The company chose to listen to consumers, engage with communities, verify facts, and avoid public statements that could inflame tensions, focusing on maintaining trust and consistent local messaging rather than broad corporate replies.
Skechers Malaysia: Growth Beyond Comfort
Q: How do you balance e-commerce with offline retail in Skechers Malaysia and the region?
Lee explains that e-commerce and offline channels coexist and reinforce each other; offline remains essential for a physical category like footwear, while online channels capture a younger demographic and provide another sales avenue.
Skechers Malaysia: Growth Beyond Comfort
Q: Where do you see the biggest opportunities for growth across Southeast Asia?
Zann Lee highlights Thailand and Vietnam as primary near-to-mid-term opportunities, with Vietnam showing especially strong growth potential through new store openings and tourist-related retail; Thailand presents expansion opportunities in upcountry markets beyond Bangkok.
Can Dassault Systèmes Power Asia’s Industrial AI Shift?
Q: Okay. I want to talk about Dassault Systèmes and the revenue target. Do you think 3-5% growth is moderate in the current environment?
The growth target reflects a mix of external macro headwinds and internal shifts, notably the transition to a subscription model that aligns with customers' project-based buying, while expecting better acceleration as the subscription transition matures.
