Money and Me: Bitcoin Hits $100K, Solana’s Bullet Launch, and Zeta Markets' Role in DeFi

From a pop-up in London  to a 10-brand international group - how do you scale in F&B without losing soul?

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, Chef-Founder Dave Pynt of Burnt Ends Hospitality Group shares his journey from dishwashing to growing a culinary empire.

Hard work, an attention to customer needs and smart pivots figure large, in his 13-year journey.

We unpack the growth of the group from Michelin-starred Burnt Ends to Meatsmith and The Ledge in the Maldives and Bali.

Dave reveals how new concepts are born while staying true to the group’s wood-fire ethos.

We explore the operational realities of scaling talent, culture and consistency across borders.

Finally, we ask what’s next - partnerships, new markets, or experiences diners haven’t imagined yet.

What if the real AI opportunity in 2026 isn’t in the stocks everyone already owns?

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, we explore whether the crowded “AI Builder” trade is reaching diminishing returns and where capital could rotate next.

Guest Raisah Rasid, Vice President, Global Market Strategist, JP Morgan Asset Management, maps out under-owned sectors quietly integrating AI for margin expansion.

We examine how traditionally low-margin industries could see profitability leap as automation scales.

With Trump’s global tariff rate rising from 10% to 15%, we unpack what Asia’s calm reaction - including the STI’s resilience - is signaling.

We also look at how investors can diversify away from mega-cap concentration without losing AI exposure.

Finally, we ask what contrarian AI view could define the rest of 2026.
