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.

Mental health is a privilege Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

Entrepreneurship is a stressful journey - and often, a lonely one; and oftentimes it might seem nearly impossible to balance the demands of the business and your own well-being. As an industry, we put a lot of emphasis on grit and celebrate sky high valuations and hockey stick growth, without pausing to think about the toll on the entrepreneurs. While the financial impact of startups in worldwide economies is widely reported, few focus on the impact on entrepreneurs’ mental health, an often taboo topic in our society and in boardrooms. In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Kent Vorland, CEO of SimplyPayMe, on payments, financial inclusion, the great divide between cultures, and the need to take care of the humans.

One size doesn’t fit all — even in the days of digital banking Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

When was the last time you actually spoke with a customer and asked how you could help them? No — we don't mean a survey or through a video chat, but actually meeting and talking to one of your customers. Even in the days of digital banking, there is always going to be a need for physical space and human interaction. We might still need a branch or two. Or even physical money. In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Jim Perry, Senior Strategist at Market Insights Inc., on why bankers need to get outside their bubble a bit more. Road trip anyone?

Innovation is value neutral; it’s our collective responsibility to build technology that works for all Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

As the saying goes, “I have not failed 1,000 times, I have successfully found 1,000 ways that will not make a light bulb.” This — or some version of it — is often credited to Thomas Edison, on his quest to come up with an efficient incandescent lamp.

As we look back at past innovations, and marvel at the ingenuity and perseverance of scientists and entrepreneurs, what inspires you? And how do our lived experiences influence the paths that we choose to follow and what values we hold dear?

In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Emeka Nwonu about his past, present, and future — from Nigeria, UK, and beyond

The future is agile: the time to take responsibility for our future is NOW. Jul 13, 2021

Show notes

Let’s talk about debt. Not financial debt. Not technical debt. But human debt — “the equivalent to Technical Debt but for people”, according to Duena Blomstrom, author of the latest book, “People Before Tech: The Importance of Psychological Safety and Teamwork in the Digital Age”. As the saying goes, people are your greatest asset. For any digital transformation projects to succeed, beyond the tech stack, merely having smart people on the team isn’t sufficient; we also need to take care of them. They need to feel motivated, valued, and respected. In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Duena about her latest book and the importance of doing the people work.

FinTech in Bermuda - RumCoin? Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

Apart from its dramatic coastline, hidden coves, turquoise waters, and beautiful beaches with pink sands, Bermuda is also a well-established offshore financial center, home to the second largest reinsurance market. The island nation has also created an infrastructure and ecosystem to foster innovation in blockchain technology, supported by a tiered regulatory approach that includes the Digital Asset Business Act and a regulatory sandbox.

In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Chris Garrod, Director, Insurance and Technology at Conyers Dill & Pearman, on the wild wild west of crypto and beyond. While there is no CBDC planned for Bermuda, Chris told us that we might be able to buy rum with digital Bermuda dollars soon. Do we need more reason for a fintech meetup on the beach

Serving the underserved community of immigrants — with Cheese Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

While banking should be a borderless experience, in reality, it is far from it. Immigrant communities for example, face a list of challenges from language barriers to lack of credit history and high cost of remittance. In 2018 alone, US immigrants spent over US$1 trillion, with international students contributing $42 billion to that sum. The market is ripe for change.

In this episode of #OneVision, Theo and Bradley chat with Ken Lian, Co-founder & CEO of Cheese Financial, the first banking solution designed for immigrants in the U.S. that does not require a social security number or credit history. Cheese also features a social component, with cash back that empowers consumers to support Asian owned businesses and restaurants.

In the age of deep social divide, we were inspired by Ken’s passion and drive to make a positive impact. And we hope you will too.

Data is the first line of defense Jun 22, 2021

Show notes

Years from now, when we look back at this pandemic, what data will have been the most critical? While we normally talk about data in the context of financial services, and the importance of data and technologies like artificial intelligence to assist our ability to deliver a more inclusive future, the data we will remember from this moment of time is health data related to Corona-19 and the lives impacted by each number this data represents.

In this episode of our #OneVision podcast, Theodora and Bradley talk to Susan Joseph, CEO and Co-Founder of HealthTrends.AI. With an experienced background across financial services and the law, with efforts focused around financial data, identity, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technologies, Susan helps us navigate through the past year from the story of the data behind this virus. You’ll learn why open source and public data were the real heroes in battling this disease, and what we should all look at as the lessons and opportunities for future health of humanity.

Creating a better world through the power of technology Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

According to a recent survey, nearly two-thirds of full-time employees indicated that their financial stress has increased since the start of the pandemic. To engage and retain productive employees, companies must help foster a culture of financial wellness and support to help their workforce better manage their finances and plan for the future. Providing access to financial wellness benefits can become a key differentiator when the labor market is tight; it can also positively impact the organization’s bottom line by relieving employee financial stress.

In this episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Rebecca Liebman, co-founder and CEO of LearnLux on her entrepreneurship journey, and creating a better world through the power of technology.
