🌍MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Maureen Fan, CEO and co‑founder of Baobab Studios about how the 10X Emmy‑winning, Oscar‑nominated powerhouse is redefining storytelling at the intersection of animation, gaming, and AI.

Maureen shares how Baobab blends top Hollywood creative talent (who were responsible for all four Madagascar movies, ANTZ, Moana, and other major franchises) with cutting‑edge machine learning to build immersive worlds for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. These audiences expect interactivity, emotional depth, and constant evolution.

We explore Maureen's leadership journey from overseeing 40% of Zynga’s revenue and helping take the company public, to building Baobab into one of the most influential studios in next‑gen entertainment.

🌍On World Health Day, MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with  mental health advocate and author, Andrea McKenna Brankin with her practical, deeply local guide to improving your mental wellbeing in Singapore.

We explore six powerful, accessible practices: Meditating at the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple; slowing down through forest bathing on the Botanic Gardens’ certified Nature Immersion Trail; experiencing sound therapy or barefoot grounding in NParks’ Therapeutic Gardens; decompressing at Sembawang Hot Spring Park; taking device‑free coastal walks along East Coast, Pasir Ris or Changi; and engaging in horticultural therapy or mindful crafting to calm an overstimulated mind.

Andrea explains why these practices work from lowering cortisol to improving immune function and why Singapore’s unique blend of nature, culture, and community spaces makes it one of the best cities in the world for mental wellness, if we choose to use it.
