  • 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.

Can ASEAN’s Digital Needs Push EdgePoint Past Key Pressures?
Q: With the high interest-rate environment, what strategies help protect margins and cash flow?
Focus on building for lower cost, accelerating cash generation, and leveraging capital facilities to improve liquidity, while tightening project selection to ensure long-term viability and reduce capex per site.
Can ASEAN’s Digital Needs Push EdgePoint Past Key Pressures?
Q: Give us a sense for what you can do with EdgePoint that you couldn't do with your former employer.
EdgePoint offers greater control and flexibility, with a faster, more agile decision-making process and a tighter alignment with investors' expectations, enabling more strategic site planning and higher efficiency in co-locations.
Caught in the Chip War: Perspectives from the Netherlands
Q: What are the priorities to mitigate the impact of disputes with the US or China on trade and investment?
Priorities include maintaining a rules-based trade system, diversifying markets and partners, pursuing new trade agreements, and strengthening cross-border collaboration in technology and supply chains to reduce reliance on any single country.
Caught in the Chip War: Perspectives from the Netherlands
Q: How exposed is the Dutch economy to the fallout of the Gulf crisis?
The Netherlands, being a small open economy, is highly dependent on international trade and energy markets, so energy price fluctuations from the Gulf crisis affect inflation and producer costs, though the impact has so far been manageable due to a diversified energy mix and investments in renewables.
Can MARA Liner Be Both Service and Business?
Q: What are MARA Liner's biggest cost pressures today?
The costs come from a mix of labor, maintenance, and fuel, with aging fleets driving higher maintenance and the need to replenish assets to stay competitive; government subsidies help but are not enough to cover all costs, so they are pursuing partnerships and fleet renewal to improve economics.
