While we usually expect entrepreneurship to be reserved for the young and ambitious, could it actually be a viable path for those who are older? Especially considering how tough the job market can be for elder individuals? What kinds of advantages would they have? And what kind of risks would they have to take? 

In this episode, Junus speaks with David Ward, Founder of The Greypreneur, to discuss more.

Is it Time for the Graypreneur? (w David Ward)

The world feels chaotic right now, and your portfolio might be feeling it too. In this episode, we sit down with macro analyst Laurent Lequen to cut through the noise and figure out where smart money should be going in 2026.

We talk about why gold and precious metals are having a moment, why real estate might not be the safe bet Singaporeans think it is, and how to think about energy producers vs. consumers in your stock picks. Laurent also breaks down a surprisingly simple framework using just two ratios to tell you exactly where we are in the business cycle, no Bloomberg terminal required.

"Investment is like having a roadmap. You know where you are, this is the business cycle. You know which asset you need to own."

Navigating 2026 as a Retail Investor, with Laurent Lequen (The Macro Butler)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/7740012e-e1bd-4f85-81c4-a7f50047134a/clips/c628b23d-cae9-48a8-ac40-b40a00f4a379/transcript

From a childhood marked by financial hardship to financial independence at 35, Jeremy Tan’s journey has been anything but typical. In 2025, he stepped into the political arena as an independent candidate and delivered the strongest showing by an independent in 53 years.

In this episode, we unpack comparison culture, lifestyle creep, and why real freedom is more about clarity than flexing. Jeremy shares how living with less sharpened his focus and helped him design a life on his own terms.

As he puts it, “Get comfortable with having lesser, so that you can free your mind to think of how to make more money.”

From Financial Scarcity as a Kid to FIRE by 35, with Jeremy Tan

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/7740012e-e1bd-4f85-81c4-a7f50047134a/clips/de519945-d098-4db5-ac96-b40301402669/transcript

Kicking off 2026 with a simple truth: health is wealth.

In this episode, we sit down with Beatrice Liu, CEO and co founder of Oriental Remedies, a modern TCM clinic group, to talk about what she’s seeing in clinics today. Think brain fog, poor sleep, chronic stress, and high performing professionals stuck in survival mode.

From sleep and stress to strength training and micro habits, the conversation focuses on what truly delivers long term returns. No extreme biohacks, just realistic changes that fit into busy lives.

As Beatrice puts it, “A lot of us are just surviving. But moving into thriving mode would be so much more meaningful and fulfilling for each of our lives.”
