What Should You Look Out For When Investing Abroad? (w Glass Wu)

What does it actually take to go from zero to winning against the big guys? Christina Tan, founder of Sales Symphony, is back with Junus to share the raw, real lessons she's picked up across decades in sales. She gets into why SME salespeople have a secret edge over their MNC counterparts, how doing everything yourself is actually the best training ground, and why cross-industry thinking might be your biggest untapped advantage.

She also unpacks Kaizen, the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement, and how dedicating just 10 minutes a day to asking "how can I do this better?" can completely change the way you work and grow.

"2000 brains, 20,000 brains is definitely more powerful than a group of management in the meeting room."

Lessons from a Chief Sales Orchestrator, with Christina Tan, (Sales-Symphony)

The world feels chaotic right now, and your portfolio might be feeling it too. In this episode, we sit down with macro analyst Laurent Lequeu 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 Lequeu (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.”
