10/09/25 - Mind Your Business: Eradicating poverty through entrepreneurshipSoutheast Asia is known for its booming startups and billion-dollar unicorns. But behind the growth story lies a quieter truth. Millions across the region still face poverty, and even in Singapore, one in four live in relative poverty, cut off from opportunities many take for granted. Traditional aid and microloans have tried to bridge the gap, but too often they fail to deliver lasting change.
Join the Breakfast Show as they sit down with Raymond Gabriel, Co-founder and Executive Director of People Systems Consultancy (PSC), a social enterprise that has helped over 100,000 people raise their incomes, and in some cases by up to 400%, without a single loan, grant, or handout.
