One Vision — Business
One Vision

One Vision podcast co-hosted by Theodora Lau, Arunkumar Krishnakumar, and Maxson J.Y. Tee, brings purposeful innovation to spotlight.

It is where impact meets innovation. One Vision is a convergence of minds that dream of a sustainable world for future generations galvanized by innovation.

We speak to startup founders, investors, industry players, thought leaders and policy makers in the innovation ecosystem and get their views. While there have been a lot discussed about innovation in the western world, we believe that impact at scale can be achieved in the emerging markets too. In recent times we have seen several leap frog moments across the emerging world. What Alibaba and Tencent have achieved in China, PayTM in India and MPesa in Africa are great examples of impactful stories. We talk to many emerging market players and highlight their efforts to create such leap frog moments.

We believe there are many innovation stories that have impact on people’s life across the world. We identify these stories and talk to them about their journeys, successes and challenges they have had to overcome. In providing a stage for these entrepreneurs, thought leaders and innovators, we hope to inspire a generation looking to effect positive change. One Vision, One Dream, One Voice for One sustainable future.

It started in the Fall Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of One Vision, Bradley and Theo recap this past week’s MTL Connecte event as part of Montreal Digital Week. Unconventional Ventures hosted an unconference within the conference: five panels, fifteen distinct voices, and our keynote combined thoughtful dialogue and guiding principles around diversity and inclusion: from digital inclusion to financial inclusion, AI, ethics and bias, an inclusive future of work, innovation for the longevity economy, and much inspiration of the East.

Now if only we could have done this in person and celebrated the week in the beautiful city of Montreal! There’s always next year. Come join us as we travel back in time once again in order to find a better tomorrow.

She has a name Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

Despite much focus and discussion over the last few years on the need to improve gender diversity within financial services, 2020 has proven to be disappointing. While we have made some gains in leadership, including the appointment of Jane Fraser and Stephanie Cohen to the top posts in otherwise male-dominated territories, funding for female founders has fallen to 2017 levels, while the aggregate VC world is still doing quite well.

How can we change the status quo? Or do old habits die hard? Tune in to this week’s One Vision episode, where Arun, Bradley, and Theo examine this disappointing year for gender equality and the need to do better. This episode is specially dedicated to all the women, whose names shall not be forgotten.

Economic equality is a human right Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

Economic equality is a civil right. It should be as simple as that. Food - shelter - water. We all need the most basic necessities to survive.

But if we have learned one thing from the past few months (and we surely hope you have learned more than that), while we are all riding out the economic storm together, we are hardly riding in the same boat; some are relaxing in the yachts; others are clinging to the wood planks, fighting for survival.

Winter is coming. Will we ever get out of the hole that we are in? How do we even begin to rebuild?

Buckle up for this week’s One Vision episode with Scott Astrada, as Theo and Bradley dive in for some much needed soul searching.

Happy 100 Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

As we celebrate the 100th episode of One Vision, we traveled back in time to share some of our favorite moments of what was once called Rhetoriq, and celebrate the convergence of minds. Our cultures and upbringings couldn’t have been more different; yet we are joined together by a shared vision of purpose, and a belief that we can do well while doing good. We hope that the stories that our guests have shared can bring you inspiration, hope and a renewed sense of purpose.

Join Arun, Bradley, and Theo, for this 100th episode special.

The future of finance is embedded Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

As the facets of financial services become increasingly cut apart, we must look for the biggest opportunities to serve more people. The promise of embedded banking is in the shifting focus of the financial services business model from the profitability of the banking provider to the long term financial wellness of the consumer and business provider.

Will the rise of the superapp model and more deeply embedded banking usher in new levels of democratized access to financial services and further our quest toward full financial inclusion? In this episode of One Vision, Bradley and Theo talk about the changing nature of banking, and our relationship with money — from dollars and cents to the data behind the ones and zeroes.

The only moment that matters is now Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

There is never a dull moment in the land of financial services. From Jane Fraser breaking the glass ceiling to become the first female CEO of a major Wall Street Bank, to Santander spinning out its corporate venture team and doubling the commitment to $400 million, the only constant in financial services is one of change. And change we must. At this past week’s FintechTalents North America conference, Scott Astrada from Affirm delivered an inspirational keynote on why the industry must change to reflect the changing face and the changing needs of America.

On the 50th anniversary of Milton Friedman’s controversial free market manifesto, with our world facing one of our most severe economic challenges of modern times, there isn’t a more urgent moment than now - to refocus our attention on the well-being of ALL stakeholders. Tune in for another episode of One Vision, where Theo and Bradley talk about the week that was.

Misfits of Wall Street Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

When did the revolution start? How did a tiny little pocket device known as the iPhone upend the world of finance as we know it today? And where would we go next?

In this episode of One Vision, Bradley and Theo sat down with Daniel P. Simon, the author of The Money Hackers: How a Group of Misfits Took on Wall Street and Changed Finance Forever to talk about his own personal journey, how he retold the stories of some of the major Fintech players for his book, and the next chapters of the story of Fintech.

Thinking beyond just today Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

It has been difficult to think beyond just today, but we must. What has been happening in the fintech space, within venture capital, and within the broader financial services ecosystem? Surely more mergers and acquisitions, more devaluations of once high-riding unicorns, and rumors of neobanks demise to discuss, but at the heart of the topics of the last few weeks is the importance of the humans behind the headlines, and the more important context beyond the business that we’re in. Please join us in this moving discussion about what is keeping us all up at night, and what we expect for tomorrow.

In this episode of One Vision, Arun, Theo and Bradley chat about the context of news during this ongoing pandemic and on the importance of humanity remaining at the heart of everything we do. The future may very well depend on it.

Our Connections: To each other and to everything else Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

While we all make personal connections during our lifetimes, the truth is that we are all connected in ways often unseen. Everything we see, everything we feel, everything that will be — it comes from something created before us. Our communities are like this too, connected by the individuals, families, and small businesses and business models that have built up our society, our economic systems, our values, and our beliefs.

Everything in life is a series of connected systems.

In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with our good friend, Paul Loberman, a veteran digital banking executive whose time at Abbey Bank, Santander, and HSBC has taught him much about connections. We talk with Paul about the evolution in serving the needs of small businesses, the banking industry post pandemic, and building back better.

For Love of Voice Aug 18, 2020

Show notes

How do you measure the wealth of a society? By physical and tangible assets or how we care for one another? How we ensure no one is left behind in the digital era speaks volumes about our values. Technology, when implemented thoughtfully — can unite rather than divide, can enable aspirations rather than trigger divides, and can deliver upon dreams rather than dash them. Purpose should not be an afterthought — it should, and must be — part of every community’s DNA.

In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Heidi Culbertson, CEO/Founder of Marvee, and a leader in Voice technology on the importance of inclusive design and how you can do well while doing good.
