Michelle Martin speaks with Arnaud Frade about the rise of “sentient startups” and whether billion-dollar one-person companies could soon emerge - even from Singapore.

They explore how entrepreneurs are already using AI beyond productivity.

Arnaud also shares lessons from building Athena, his autonomous AI panelist, and explains why blind dependence on AI could become a dangerous trap for founders.

As AI takes over more analysis and execution, the conversation asks a deeper wellness question: what uniquely human qualities will matter most for leaders at work?

LIVE WELL WITH MICHELLE: Your Next Co-Founder May Not Be Human

What if the next competitive advantage in business isn’t ruthless optimisation - but learning how to thrive?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode features Stephen Lew, Founder of The School of Positive Psychology, who shares why high achievement and deep fulfilment are often not the same thing.

We explore how Positive Psychology and the science of resilience, meaning, creativity and human flourishing are increasingly relevant in a world of burnout, uncertainty and relentless performance pressure.

Plus Stephen takes a question from a listener who believes his wife would benefit from therapy.

Singapore’s capital markets could be entering a new phase.

Hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, this episode examines the planned SGX-Nasdaq dual-listing bridge expected to launch by mid-2026, allowing eligible companies to access both Singapore and US investors through a streamlined listing process.

We explore whether the initiative can help revive SGX liquidity, attract regional tech unicorns and strengthen Singapore’s position in global capital markets.

The discussion also looks at the role of the Equity Market Development Programme and whether Singapore is taking a more active approach to supporting IPO activity and market depth.

Plus: can SGX avoid becoming merely a secondary trading venue if valuation premiums and liquidity remain concentrated on Nasdaq - and what would success actually look like for Singapore’s market ecosystem?
