Dr Robert Lyons - How Oxygen Reverses Reverses Aging and Cures Cancer

Addiction in Malaysia, what’s really going on? From substance abuse to social media addiction, the struggle is more complex than most people realize. In this episode, Dr. Prem Kumar unpacks the hidden layers of addiction, from its deep ties to mental health and ADHD to the way technology is shaping new forms of dependency. It’s not just about bad choices - socioeconomic struggles, brain chemistry, and even modern lifestyles play a role. But where do we go from here? Dr. Prem breaks down harm reduction strategies, early intervention, and the urgent need for better awareness in families. He also shares why mental health professionals themselves need support, plus what Malaysia can learn from global trends in addiction treatment. Whether you’re directly affected or just curious, this conversation shines a light on the realities most people don’t talk about.

Retirement isn’t what it used to be, so how do you actually prepare for it? In this episode, Robin Lee breaks down the reality of life after work - the money, the mindset, and everything in between. It’s not just about stacking cash; it’s about staying active, finding purpose, and making sure your golden years aren’t just… boring.  Robin shares what he’s learned from his own journey, from financial planning wins (and mistakes) to the emotional side of leaving the 9-to-5 grind.

Malaysia has so much potential - but what’s holding it back? Ex-Perdana Petroleum MD Shamsul Saad and Khoo Hsu Chuang get real about the Malay mindset, education, and the bigger forces shaping the country’s future. They talk about how culture and government policies play a role in success (or lack of it) and why critical thinking is a game-changer in today’s digital world. But it isn’t just about education. They get into leadership, economic growth, and why shaking things up is long overdue. Automation is changing jobs, governance feels stuck in mediocrity, and bold leadership is needed to push Malaysia forward. They even compare Malaysia’s struggles with the U.S., showing how deeply rooted interests can hold progress back. Looking back at Malaysia’s golden era in the 70s, they discuss how colonial history shaped the way people think and why the country needs a stronger sense of purpose. Inequality, talent, creativity—these things matter, and real change won’t happen without the right leadership. At the end of the day, it’s about breaking free from old mindsets and surrounding yourself with the right people to make real progress.

In this episode, Hann Liew (Founder & CEO of Halogen Capital ) sharse his thoughts on Malaysia’s place in the crypto world, the impact of regulations and taxes, and why big institutions are starting to take Bitcoin seriously. With governments tightening the rules, what does this mean for everyday investors? But it's not all smooth sailing.
