  • 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.

1 Billion Barrels Lost: Fitch Ratings on Stagflation Risks
Q: Given this trickling down into the consumer, how sticky could this inflationary effect be?
Sticky inflation will depend on domestic factors such as labor market conditions, fiscal space, and policy credibility; if wages and energy costs remain high and demand stays weak, inflation could persist longer, requiring careful monetary policy to avoid second-round effects.
1 Billion Barrels Lost: Fitch Ratings on Stagflation Risks
Q: So Brian, is this just a temporary shock or are we in for a prolonged energy crisis at this point?
The situation is less temporary than initially thought; the strait's ongoing closure plus a global energy demand context suggest a bigger, longer-lasting shock than feared, with inventories depleted and prices likely to stay elevated.
Why Aging is the New Frontier Market
Q: What concrete steps should companies take to capitalize on the silver economy?
Companies should develop an aging strategy as part of their core business planning—rethink products, distribution, and marketing to serve older adults, segment the market by functional ability rather than age, and align public policy with healthcare, pension, and education reforms to unlock long-term growth.
Why Aging is the New Frontier Market
Q: Michael, tell us more about the aging megatrend and why it matters economically and socially.
The megatrend is twofold: people are living longer (longevity) and birth rates are declining, which together shift the consumer base and the labor market. This creates a huge market opportunity—healthcare, vaccines, travel, financial services—if companies reframe strategies around aging as a marketplace rather than a demographic footnote.
Systech: Turnaround Under New Management?
Q: How is GPU as a service funded and who are the customers?
Funding comes from the end users themselves, including government contracts, with multi-tenant arrangements across the region, enabling scalable AI compute capacity for SMEs and government projects.
