In this episode, we invited a friend from Malaysia, Chris Chin to talk about budgeting and how this important discipline can help us retire early. We talked about investing in emerging markets like Malaysia and what makes a company from good to great in Chris’s business management view as well as key learnings from pursuing happiness over money, which is one of life’s controversial investment questions that comes across our minds more often than we think. Chris was a chemical engineer turned management consultant focused on strategy development for digital businesses across Southeast Asia. He ended up pivoting and joining what would eventually become the first tech unicorn in Malaysia. Driven by formative experiences during the 2007 Global Financial Crisis and 2014 Global Oil Crisis where Chris witnessed first hand the insecurity of being a wage-earner, he sought to better understand economics, market cycles, its influence on businesses, and long-term investing behaviours.

BusinessObjects then sold its business to SAP and Frank moved to the Bay Area and joined a startup called Vlocity as employee number eleven. In 2017, Frank got into investing and studied the markets for over 8000 hours and all his investments are in tech space and majority are in SaaS companies.

Is there a crypto fad going on? Will we see a continued growth in the adoption of cryptocurrencies? What is a cryptocurrency and who invented it? We managed to invite someone who is knowledgeable in this field, Leo Mak (CPA), to answer these interesting questions.
That's not all. Leo also humbly shares his crypto investing mistakes and lessons with us.
Leo has been working in the Big 4 advisory firms for seven years with experience in providing risk management and regulatory compliance services to financial institutions. He studied international business and global management at the University of Hong Kong, and is a certified public accountant and energy risk professional. He is a cryptocurrency investor who developed his expertise by studying cryptocurrency over the last few years and understands how retail individuals and financial institutions can benefit from adopting digital currency.
After listening to this episode, maybe cryptocurrency or Bitcoin is not so cryptic after all...

Our first podcast episode in 2022 has just been released! Given there has been a volatile selloff with tech growth stocks recently, there is no better time to talk about tech companies that have a disruptive edge. The question is do we know how to study these companies from an investing standpoint? We’re very fortunate to invite Simon Erickson on the show, who many people focused on identifying disruptive innovation and developing trends. Guest Bio: Simon is the founder and CEO of 7investing. He has previously worked seven years at The Motley Fool, where he most recently served as the lead advisor of Motley Fool Explorer. He travels to industry conferences and talks to business, scientific, and academic leaders to learn first-hand about the cutting-edge technologies. He’s been plugged-in to immersive virtual reality, bought his first Bitcoin for just $247 dollars, and took a pharmacogenomic DNA test to explain how he would react to prescription drugs.
