The initiative aims to ease financial pressures so students can stay in school, while providing mentorship and financial literacy training to prepare them for work and independent living. Karen Ngui, Head of DBS Foundation & Group Head of Strategic Marketing and Communications joins the Breakfast Show to unpack how such collaborations between private and public institutions can make a lasting impact and what it will take to build a more inclusive model of growth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the entertaining and genuine Ben Fordham. Ben is one of Australia’s most well-known media personalities, hosting the incredibly popular Breakfast Show for 2GB. Ben started working in radio when he was just 15, and he’s built an incredibly successful career over the past 30 years, with no signs of that stopping. In 1997, Ben became the youngest reporter in history to win a Walkley-Award double in the same year, for his coverage of the Thredbo landslide disaster and excellence in journalism. Ben’s also known for his work on TV, including for Sky News, the Today Show, A Current Affair and Nine News. When he’s not working, Ben is a huge family man, married to his beautiful wife Jodie and proud father of their 3 kids, Freddy, Pearl and Goldie. In this episode Ben tells us so many great stories from his career and family life. We hear how Ben started in the industry as a work experience kid, and always found great mentors to help him in his career. This is one of the reasons why Ben loves doing the same for young people entering the industry - he talks about some of the amazing people who’ve started as work experience kids for him, including Nicola’s daughter, Gabriella, and the way he continues to mentor them and loves seeing them succeed. We find out about the time when Ben was the most nervous interviewing someone, and the bombshell that he dropped in that interview, not knowing how his guest was going to react. He also shares the behind-the-scenes details of one of the most difficult stories he’s ever had to cover. Ben opens up about his family life, the incredibly close relationships he has with his mum and siblings, and the fact that not once, but twice, his family members shared a back fence. And you’ll need to stay tuned to hear the advice Ben gave to his son Freddy about dealing with a school bully - it’s gold! We also hear all about Ben’s relationship with the late John Laws, some of the funny lunches they shared in recent years as well as Lawsie’s last words to Ben. As Nicola says in this episode, Ben is one of the greatest storytellers around, and this chat was so much fun - Ben kept us entertained and enthralled the entire time! We hope you love it as much as we did. This episode is proudly supported by Montgomery Investment Management, trusted experts helping you build and protect your financial future.
