16/07/25 - Breakfast Bites: Here's an awkward question - Have you written your will?This may be a little 'morbid' to ask, but when’s the last time you thought about writing your will? Have you written one?
If you're in good health and in your 30s or 40s - it’s easy to put this off. Plus, talking about death can feel a little taboo. But if you have ageing parents, kids, or even just a growing pile of savings and investments —it’s never too early to think about who handles our money after we’re gone.
Audrey, Ryan and Emaad discuss whether they've thought about it, and basic steps on how to get started today.

16/07/25 - Morning Shot: Beyond Paychecks - How Appreciation Shapes the WorkplaceRandstad’s 2025 Singapore survey shows nearly 9 in 10 employees believe a sense of community helps them perform better, and lack of appreciation ranks among the top three reasons staff feel discouraged across all age groups. Yet many workplaces still struggle to build cultures where people feel recognised. This segment will explore why appreciation often falls through the cracks, how it ties into the pillars that drive belonging at work, and what leaders can do to personalise recognition to keep their teams engaged and loyal in a high-stress job market.
Jasmine Liew, CEO of Breakthrough Catalyst and the Premier Partner of Appreciation at Work, shares her thoughts on the Breakfast Show.

But will this move spice up shareholder value, or just further complicate an already sticky legacy?
Join Dan Koh and Ryan Huang as they connect the dots between changing consumer demand, investor pressure, and the growing realization that maybe not all mergers age like fine ketchup.
