Why do some leaders leave you energised - while others quietly exhaust you?

Michelle Martin sits down with Columbia University's Adam Galinsky, author of INSPIRE (The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others), to unpack the psychology behind leadership that truly moves people.

Drawing on three decades of research, Galinsky explains why inspiration isn’t a personality trait - but a set of behaviours we can all learn.

From Visionary to Exemplar to Mentor, discover the three roles that define leaders who elevate others.
We explore how these ideas play out not just in boardrooms - but in families, and everyday life.

The Fed has raised rates, but markets are rallying as oil prices and bond yields ease. Could the rate hike also provide a much-needed boost to Singapore banks — and why might UOB emerge as a bigger beneficiary?

On Market View, Michelle Martin examines what the changing rate environment means for Singapore banking stocks and whether Wall Street's best day in six weeks has legs.

Then it's UP or DOWN: Jensen Huang says Nvidia could sell twice as many chips next year — can the stock keep delivering? Is Zscaler an overlooked cybersecurity opportunity? And could relaxed rules for conservation shophouses unlock new value at Boat Quay?

Plus, Pokémon turns 30. Michelle looks at how Pikachu and friends became a multibillion-dollar nostalgia machine — and why Pokémon cards are still attracting serious money three decades later.

Human beings can split the atom, engineer artificial intelligence and peer billions of years into the history of the cosmos. But has our wisdom kept pace with our capabilities?

In Eleven Seconds Before Midnight: Humanity, the Cosmos, and the Species We Must Become, Dr. Farshad Shishehchian argues that humanity needs to look beyond the divisions of nationality, culture and ideology and learn to cooperate as a species. The book places our brief existence against the vast scale of a 13.8-billion-year-old universe, while exploring threats ranging from AI and climate change to pandemics and nuclear weapons.

What can the cosmos teach us about being human? Why, despite extraordinary scientific progress, do tribal divisions remain so powerful? And can curiosity, open-mindedness and global cooperation help close the gap between what humanity can do and what it is wise enough to do?

Michelle Martin speaks with Dr. Farshad Shishehchian, CEO of Blue Aqua International and author of Eleven Seconds Before Midnight: Humanity, the Cosmos, and the Species We Must Become.

Recent investment controversies involving Singaporeans are a reminder that a real property or business can sit behind an investment and still leave investors nursing substantial losses. So what questions should you ask before transferring a single dollar?

Michelle Martin speaks with Daniel Sim, Founder of Golden Goose Properties, about why even sophisticated investors can get caught, the warning signs to watch for and the five questions he believes every investor should ask before committing their money.
