09/01/26 - Mind Your Business: What It Took to Make Bike-Sharing Work in SingaporeBike-sharing is back in Singapore — but this time, it’s smaller, more regulated, and far more operationally demanding. After a chaotic boom-and-bust cycle that saw bikes clutter pavements and operators disappear almost overnight, only a handful of players remain. One of them is Anywheel, now operating around 35,000 bikes across the island.
On this episode of Mind Your Business, the Breakfast Show speaks with Htay Aung, Founder and CEO of Anywheel, about how the company survived while rivals folded, what changed to make bike-sharing viable again, and the hard operational realities behind running a hardware-heavy, regulated business.

09/01/26 - Morning Shot: US Strikes Venezuela - What Comes Next?The United States has carried out its most direct intervention in Latin America in decades, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a January 3 strike ordered by Donald Trump. Washington says the operation was aimed at dismantling a “narco state” and restoring democracy. But critics warn the move revives memories of past US interventions and raises urgent questions about sovereignty, legality, and regional stability — especially as the US moves to take control of Venezuelan oil sales as leverage.
Dr. Lincoln Mitchell, Professor at School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, joins the Breakfast Show to unpack what this intervention really signals, how oil has become central to US strategy, and what the risks are for Venezuela, and US foreign policy more broadly.

08/01/26 - US Markets Wrap: Gunboat Diplomacy Meets Market ComplacencyU.S. markets slipped from fresh all-time highs this week, with financials and energy — two of 2026’s early winners — suddenly losing momentum. Beneath the day-to-day volatility, a bigger question is emerging: are markets being driven by fundamentals, or simply by liquidity? Alex Morris, CEO of F/m Investments, unpack why geopolitics barely registers for investors, whether markets are misreading the risks around inflation and a more political Federal Reserve, and why the much-debated AI “bubble” may still be in its early innings. We also dive into the less obvious inflationary pressures created by the AI build-out and what a “boring but smart” portfolio actually looks like as we head deeper into 2026.
