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.

An inconvenient truth about ESG May 31, 2022

Show notes

According to a recent survey by the CFA Institute, 85% of investment managers across countries are increasingly incorporating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria into investment decisions. While opportunities abound in this fast-growing sector, what gets measured and how it’s measured can quickly grow in complexity. And are we focusing too much on what investors care about, and missing the broader picture of the impact on our planet and its people? In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Alexandria Fisher, Sustainable Finance Manager of Global Risk Institute on social responsibility, ESG data, and regulations. While perfection may not exist, we need to start somewhere.

If you don’t stand for something, you will fall May 24, 2022

Show notes

How can we bring tech and finance together to create a better world, one that would be around for the next century and centuries thereafter? Our most vulnerable populations are increasingly facing impossible choices with rising inequalities and worsening impact of climate change. There is no time to waste: We must make sure that our actions can help to create opportunities for those who don’t have a seat at the table; and we must do so ethically, responsibly, and with haste.

Stand for something or you will fail. In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Chris Skinner about his latest book, Digital Good, and how values will become a key differentiator in banking.

In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Stephanie Foster chat with Mac Gardner, Founder & CEO of FinLit Tech, two-time author of The Four Money Bears and Motivate Your Money, on his quest to promote financial literacy and financial wellness.

Data plays a huge role in our daily activities. But does technology truly make our lives better? May 10, 2022

Show notes

It is often said, digital technologies are driving transformative change in our society. But at what cost? As consumers, do we truly understand how information is being collected and used, and the associated risks and implications? Can we truly trust companies enough to just ‘click and ignore’? In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Barb Maclean chat with Hessie Jones, Venture Partner at MATR Ventures on venture capital model, community building, and tech ethics. From data rights to privacy and security, there is still a lot of work to be done. Hessie’s advice: Ethics needs to become a standard. And remember, just because you can — doesn’t mean you should.

Yesterday once more and the La La Land of FinTech May 03, 2022

If you have seven minutes to showcase a fintech idea, what would you say?

Reimagining the Internet with Web3 Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

Remember the song by Pattie Page, “How much is that doggie in the window?” If the virtual worlds continue to proliferate, are we going to ask, “How much is that doggie in the metaverse?” In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Arun chat about the evolution from Web2 to Web3, the promise of decentralized tech in a creator-led world, and the challenges that we still need to overcome. In a world powered by cryptocurrency assets and NFTs, what roles do incumbent financial institutions and traditional brands play? Is the promise of decentralized power too good to be true?

Power of possibility: Investing in the future of work Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Much has been written about the Great Resignation where people have left their jobs in search of more meaningful work and personal fulfillment. We are at a critical juncture in history; how we work, where we work, and when we work, are all being redefined. What might work look like when the dust is settled and how can we help to reshape the culture? In this episode of One Vision, Theo, along with Danielle Guzman, chat with Diana Wu David, Future of Work strategist and author of Future Proof, on finding purpose and our place in the future. As Oprah Winfrey once said: “The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance — and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.” It’s time to seize the opportunity to reboot and commit to creating a better future, together.

Walking the talk and driving authentic inclusion Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

One step forward, two steps back. Despite increasing awareness and promises from corporations, metrics such as the gender pay gap and funding for female founders have barely budged. How then, can we truly move the needle for workplace gender equality in financial services and beyond? In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Nadia Edwards-Dashti, co-founder of the Harrington Starr Group, on her new book, FinTech Women Walk the Talk. As Nadia pointed out, FinTech, as an industry, has always been about driving changes. Together, we can ignite the passion of our allies, and build an ecosystem that is fully representative of the diversity of the society whom we serve.

Building trustworthy AI: What, why, and how Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

Artificial intelligence is embedded in almost every aspect of our lives, from financial services to healthcare, retail, and beyond, and will play an increasingly important role in everything we do and what we create. But we have merely scratched the surface of what the technology can deliver; ample opportunities exist for us to build solutions that can work together with humans and help us make better decisions, especially for high-stake use cases where human emotions play an important role. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Francesca Rossi, IBM fellow and IBM AI Ethics Global Leader, on the foundational properties for AI ethics and putting the principles into action. https://ibm.co/3DB8F4w

Betting on people: Bridging the gap between fintech and innovation Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

A significant amount of money has been invested in FinTech in the past decade; according to CFTE, the FinTech sector is now equivalent to 38% of the banking sector in terms of market capitalization. If FinTech was considered a city, it would rank 3rd as an employer in financial services, after New York and London. In a world where we are playing buzzword bingo on a seemingly daily basis, how do we stay on top of the real innovation trends in this fast developing world? And how can we facilitate pathways to these new opportunities and make sure that no one is left behind? As the saying goes, talent is equally distributed; opportunities are not. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Tram Anh Nguyen, co-founder of CFTE, whose mission is to leverage the power of education to create a more inclusive and welcoming new world of financial services. That’s certainly a purpose we can all get behind.
