Ruthie Rogers: From River Cafe to Podcast Queen
Q: I want to ask you about technology, which has completely changed how we experience restaurants, I would say for the worse.
Ruthie notes that technology has altered dining dynamics, pointing to phones at tables and the detachment from conversation, while acknowledging adaptability and a slower, more human-centric approach at the River Café.
From Prison to an ASX IPO: Oliver Curtis and the Bet on Australia's AI Future
Q: You're in Singapore, you mention a global roadshow and a heavy focus on your data-center strategy—how does Firmus' model differ from conventional operators and why should investors be excited?
The core difference is that we don't own land or dense facilities in the conventional sense; we provide the compute power and infrastructure to run token generation, focusing on efficiency and a verticalized, asset-light platform that can scale with demand.
Nick Molnar: Building and Selling Afterpay for $39 Billion, and joining Block
Q: What's it like in block board meetings when you look across the table at your old neighbor, Anthony Eisen, and then in the chair next to him is another block director, Jay Z?
It's surreal, as a lot of my life feels very surreal.
Gillon McLachlan: From leading the AFL to Tabcorp
Q: Why did your departure from the AFL drag on so long?
I was asked to stay an extra year due to key issues that needed resolution, and I felt it was my duty to do so.
