28 January 2026, 10:00 pm - 46 minutes 24 secondsDo Loyalty Stamp Cards Still Work? We're Here To Find Out! [TBS 47 ft yuu Rewards Club]
What if the loyalty programs you think you understand… are actually built on completely different rules?
We sit with a man some in the industry call “the king of loyalty” - the CEO behind one of Singapore’s largest rewards ecosystems. With millions of members and over a million active users every month, he’s got a front-row seat to how consumers really spend, save, and stay loyal.
And let’s just say… a lot of what businesses believe about loyalty? Might be totally wrong.
Inside this episode, we unpack:
- Why “buy 10 get 1 free” works for cafés… but can quietly kill other businesses
- The concept of “borrowed loyalty” and how smaller brands can tap into bigger ecosystems to survive
- Why points, cashback, and miles aren’t equal (and which one is actually losing relevance)
- The hidden math behind loyalty programs that most SMEs never calculate
- What really makes customers stick: emotional loyalty vs transactional value (and which one actually comes first)
- How AI and data are quietly reshaping the future of rewards, personalisation, and customer retention
- The surprising reason having MORE points can make customers less likely to leave
Whether you run a small business, work in marketing, or just love squeezing maximum value out of every dollar you spend, this episode will completely change how you see loyalty programs.
Because loyalty isn’t just about rewards anymore…
It’s about data, psychology, and who controls the relationship with the customer.
🎧 Tune in to hear how the game really works behind the scenes.

21 January 2026, 10:00 pm - 41 minutes 32 secondsThe Startup Teaching Kids Robotics Using Chopsticks [TBS 46]
They didn’t start with a fancy lab, big funding, or a “Silicon Valley” playbook.
They started with scrappy prototypes, real classrooms, and a question that hits hard:
Why is quality STEM education still not accessible to every kid?
If you’ve ever been curious about startups, education, or what it takes to build something real (literally hardware), this one’s for you.
We sit with Adam and Kai from Stick’ Em - the startup that’s been making headlines for teaching kids to build robots using something you’d never expect: chopsticks.
But that’s only the start…
What you’ll hear
- How Stick’ Em turned a simple, low-cost idea into a real robotics ecosystem schools are paying for
- The behind-the-scenes truth about robotics competitions that most people only whisper about
- Why going hardware-first is way harder than it looks (and why they still did it anyway)
- The moment they realised: “Okay… this isn’t just a fun kit. This could scale.”
- How they grew through schools talking to schools before doing any serious marketing
- What winning a major global competition actually changed (and what it didn’t)
Tune in soon because the most interesting parts aren’t the headlines… it’s what happened before and after them.

"How would you spend the extra 20 years?"
It's not a hypothetical question anymore; it's a demographic certainty. We are all living longer, and the traditional three-stage life of study, work, retire is officially obsolete. But what does a 100-year life truly look like, and how do we prepare for a future that is fundamentally different from the one our parents knew?

- Brandon Lee, Assistant Chief Executive of Workforce Singapore, on redesigning careers and embracing portfolio living in a 100-year lifespan.
- Pui Wah Loh, a “vintage” professional who retired at 61 and is now reshaping what it means to live with purpose in your third act.
We dive into:
- Why living longer means taking more risks—especially when you’re younger.
- How to balance time, health, and wealth across different life stages.
- The power of experimentation, failure, and self-reflection in crafting a meaningful longer life.
Whether you’re in your 20s, navigating mid-life, or reimagining retirement, this conversation will challenge how you think about your future—and inspire you to design it with intention.
Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion.
Tune in now and start rethinking your extra 20 years.

18 January 2026, 10:00 pm - 33 minutes 46 secondsEx–Dollars & Sense Co-Founder Shares the Advice No One Wants [Chills 250 ft Dinesh Dayani]
We sit with Ex Co-Founder of Dollars and Sense, Dinesh Dayani, a long-time personal finance thinker and investor, to unpack how technology, experience, and hard-earned humility have completely reshaped the way he approaches money.
From the quiet impact of AI on how we consume financial advice, to early investing wins that felt like genius (but weren’t), this conversation challenges some of the most common assumptions people make about wealth, investing, and lifestyle choices.
In this episode, we touch on:
- Why traditional personal finance content is losing relevance and what’s taking its place
- The early investing mistake that changed how Dinesh views risk forever
- Why he gave up trying to outsmart the market (and what he does instead)
- A surprising lifestyle decision that goes against social norms - even as a parent
This isn’t a “get rich quick” conversation.
It’s an honest one about uncertainty, trade-offs, and redefining what financial success actually means.
🎧 Tune in to hear the full story and the thinking behind the choices.

13 January 2026, 10:00 pm - 36 minutes 26 secondsWorkplace Harassment in Singapore: What’s Illegal - And What Isn’t [W&S 152]
What if harassment at work no longer looks the way you expect?
It’s no longer just whispered comments in corridors or uncomfortable meetings behind closed doors. Today, it can show up in Slack messages, WhatsApp chats, LinkedIn posts — and sometimes in ways that are subtle enough to make you question your own instincts.
Dive into a topic many experience, but few openly talk about: workplace harassment and bullying in the digital age.
We explore:
- How workplace harassment has quietly shifted from physical spaces to online platforms
- The blurry line between “lawful but awful” behaviour and illegal harassment
- Why so many victims stay silent — even when policies exist
- What really happens when HR systems don’t feel safe or independent
- The emotional and reputational toll of speaking up (or choosing not to)
And most importantly — what options actually exist when walking away isn’t so simple.
🎧 Our Guest
Joining us is Simran Toor, Head of Regulatory & Investigations, Co-Head of Disputes, Tang Thomas, a legal expert and leading advocate in digital safety and workplace equity.
She is the former CEO of Singapore’s first online harms help centre and has led national efforts addressing harassment, gender equity, and access to justice. With years of experience supporting victims both legally and systemically, she brings a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on why harassment persists - and what truly needs to change.
This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply relevant for anyone navigating modern workplaces - whether you’re an employee, manager, or business owner.
👉 If you’ve ever wondered:
“Is this harassment… or am I overthinking it?”
This episode is for you.
🎙️ Tune in. Listen closely. And decide what you’d do differently next time.

11 January 2026, 10:00 pm - 40 minutes 45 secondsChildhood Shapes Our Money Habits, How To Do Better For Our Future? [Chills 249, Sponsored by OCBC]
What if the way you spend, save, or stress about money… was shaped long before you earned your first paycheck?
In this special live podcast episode, we unpack the invisible stories behind our money habits, the ones formed at the dinner table, in childhood homes, and during moments we didn’t even realise mattered.
This isn’t a “how to get rich” conversation.
It’s about why we think and feel the way we do about money, and how that quietly shows up in our lives and our children’s lives.
In this episode, we explore:
- How childhood experiences silently shape adult money habits
- Why growing up with “not enough” doesn’t always lead to saving
- The emotional side of money: guilt, fear, control, and security
- Digital money, kids, and why tapping a phone feels different from holding cash
- Whether parents need to “get it wrong” before they can teach it right
- How siblings raised in the same home can grow up with totally different money mindsets
Meet the guests joining the conversation:
- Dr Annabelle Chow - A clinical psychologist who breaks down money trauma, family dynamics, and emotional triggers around spending
- Elaine Teh, Head of Deposits - A senior banking leader sharing how kids today are learning money in a fully digital world, and what parents often miss
- Eddie @LazyCabbie - A content creator and everyday parent who opens up about growing up poor, hitting rock bottom, and rebuilding his relationship with money
- Plus, a candid host, Adrian Tan, who admits this episode felt part podcast… part personal therapy
This episode is raw, reflective, and deeply relatable especially if you’ve ever:
- Felt guilty spending on yourself
- Struggled to save despite earning more
- Wondered how to teach your kids about money without passing on your fears
👉 Tune in for a conversation that goes beyond dollars and cents — and into the habits, values, and emotional baggage we rarely talk about.
Sometimes, understanding money starts with understanding ourselves.
