Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S1E95: It’s not about greed: Behavioural scientist Serene Koh explains the psychology of falling for scams
Q: Why might people with higher financial literacy and education be more vulnerable to investment scams?
Koh describes research finding higher rates of falling for investment scams among people with greater financial literacy and education. Confidence in their own judgment may lead them to skip independent checks and outside advice.
S1E95: It’s not about greed: Behavioural scientist Serene Koh explains the psychology of falling for scams
Q: How was the Nanning Ponzi scheme different from other scams?
Koh says it developed over time through existing relationships and used real places and elements that seemed authentic, rather than relying on a brief urgent approach or wholly fabricated identities and settings.
S1E92: Singapore writer Gwee Li Sui talks Culture Pass credits and what it’ll take to get people to read
Q: Why do you think culture pass credits are underutilized and what should be done differently?
The guest argues against rushing culture and applying external KPIs, suggesting that culture develops at its own pace and that readers should be allowed to discover what they love, which will lead to deeper, longer-term engagement rather than quick, data-driven metrics.
S1E91: $1b venture capitalist Hian Goh on how Singapore can grow a firm like Apple
Q: How important is Silicon Valley as a model for Singapore's innovation agenda?
Silicon Valley works as a beacon of energy and risk tolerance, but Singapore can develop its own flavor of innovation by leveraging local strengths, attracting global talent, and creating a supportive translational research-to-market ecosystem that encourages bold bets while ensuring robust governance and investor protection.
S1E91: $1b venture capitalist Hian Goh on how Singapore can grow a firm like Apple
Q: What does it take for Singapore to generate a true Apple or Nvidia-scale company from within?
It requires embracing uncertainty, keeping private capital flows active to fund risky bets, building a team with complementary minds (visionaries and engineers), and ensuring a healthy pipeline of companies that can graduate from private VC funding to public markets, while not stifling experimentation with excessive regulation or risk aversion.
