The property market is in focus today as we speak to a leading real estate technology company that operates real estate portals across South East Asia. Launched in 2014 as 99.co, our guest 99 Group was conceived during the 2008 US mortgage subprime crisis, an event which the firm believed was “born out of desire and misinformation”. The founding team at 99 Group hence made it a point to make the company into a simple and trusted platform to un-complicated the property journey. This can be seen in the firm’s positioning strategy, where it aims to differentiate itself from other property search websites through its user-friendly designs, with features including price analysis data, finance planners, smart filters, as well as the ability to search by map or commute time. Fast forward to today, 99 Group is said to be one of the fastest growing property portal firms in the region, with a presence in both Singapore and Indonesia. The group is said to specialise in digital property advertising and has a portfolio of three brands: namely its flagship 99.co property portal and SRX.com.sg right here in Singapore, as well as 99.co/id and Rumah 123 in Indonesia. So far, 99 Group said it has achieved what it described as solid growth, with revenues of US$17 million recorded for 2023, a CAGR of 47% since 2019. But what are the key trends the firm is capitalising on to take it forward and which are the markets with the biggest potential in the region? And what are the challenges for proptech firms even as Southeast Asia rises as a hotbed for property technology or proptech innovation? Meanwhile, the ongoing narrative about interest rates in the region continues to weigh on home buyers’ and investors' minds. So how far has this influenced the types of listings that appear on 99 Group’s platforms and how is the firm attracting and showing the right listings to its consumers to increase retention and action? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Darius Mahtani Cheung, Founder and CEO, 99 Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relationship imploded this week like a star going supernova as the two took to social media to take jabs at each other. At stake are the future of Musk’s companies, including electric car company Tesla and rocket manufacturer SpaceX, both of which receive government subsidies or contracts. President Trump took to his social media website, Truth Social, yesterday to threaten subsidies to Musk’s companies. Musk then threatened to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which the country’s space agency, NASA, has come to depend on heavily to ferry cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station on a regular basis. Musk later walked back this threat. NASA is said to have few viable alternatives to the Musk-owned company, as many of SpaceX’s competitors are still catching their technology up with the company. Joining Larry to discuss how and why NASA relies so heavily on private contractors is Kenneth Chang, science reporter for The New York Times. With files from the Associated Press.

As the legal industry reckons with the growing influence of generative AI and automation, law firms are facing far more than just new tools—they're confronting a fundamental shift in how talent is managed, work is structured, and value is delivered. In this episode, I'm joined by Keith Maziarek, a Big Law expert in strategic pricing and legal project management, to talk about how AI is reshaping the legal talent model and how firms will measure and track value—from flattening the traditional associate pyramid to forcing firms to rethink hiring, development, and retention strategies. Keith and I dive into what this means for lawyers and business professionals alike, and why this is likely to mean that law firms will need fewer—but more specialized—junior lawyers, how non-legal professionals like data scientists will be essential to client service, and the ways in which the future of legal work will demand both new skillsets and new incentives. If you're a senior lawyer navigating firm leadership, or thinking about how to future-proof your career, this episode is essential listening.

One nation has stealthily adopted a leading position in remodeling digital casino interactions while the digital gambling realm speeds ahead in innovation - that nation is Ireland. Ireland has recently evolved into an emerging innovative technology center that uses mobile platforms to disrupt the gaming industry. Developing a new app or creating bonus-heavy games does not represent the main objective of this initiative. The advancement focuses on transforming mobile casino user engagements by starting from the smartphone screen interface. A New Standard for Design in Mobile Casino Experience Scroll, tap, swipe. Ireland has gained mastery in this current mobile gaming metabolic rate along with other select development groups worldwide. Mobile casino interfaces no longer replicate small sized desktop screens so users now can find updated interfaces. Modern technology development starts from a mobile perspective while organizations in Ireland create exceptional designs through their fusion of advanced technology and exceptional user understanding. The movement controls alongside one-hand operating methods come from Dublin-based development teams at the forefront. The user experience includes dynamic animated interfaces which automatically respond to users' actions in real time instead of using standard menu drop-downs and game lobbies. The slot machine system operates flawlessly through vertical orientation. The gambling feed in live video uses chat functionality alongside betting tools which operate without obscuring the screen display. The system evaluates each detail by running through repeated tests incorporating player comments together with A/B testing protocols. Direct UX focus serves both as strategic approach and as an aesthetic enhancement. Several Irish startups understand that users are devoting less time to each session leading to rising competition so anything that causes friction will make users leave. Mobile casinos developed by Irish startups remove small interface errors while crafting user-friendly platforms that both maintain user retention and generate user satisfaction. Intuitive Meets Intelligent: The Role of Adaptive Design Adaptive interfaces represent the leading technological innovation in mobile gambling across Ireland since they modify user interfaces instantaneously according to player habits and device types and timeframes. When users start their preferred casino application at night the interface directs them towards games within relaxing sound and minimal visual intensity settings. The interface welcomes back users by displaying new feature highlights that avoid cluttering the user interface screen. AI analytics drive adaptive interface development at Irish companies who view gaming as much more than game access but as a key element of state of mind and situations. Even small touches matter. The implementation of predictive asset streaming technology leads to faster loading times. Game recommendations today integrate both historical gameplay data and user-determined time-period preferences and held-device orientation settings. Gamification and Loyalty in a New Light Irish businesses lead the global advancement of gamification through genuine casual game design techniques which establish player connection. Modern platforms enable interactive loyalty experiences which duplicate gaming mechanics through avatar collection and perk leveling and the attainment of social awards for both game playing and feature exploration as well as safety practice. The shift demonstrates a general industry trend which marries emotional resonance with non-financial options. Users take part in digital realms through gameplay instead of limited gambling activity. Through their playful approach Irish developers manage to develop digital universes that display genuine human sensibility. A company based in Cork released an update which enabled players to give virtual cheers to their fellow casino players while streaming t...

Blake and David break down the "Big Beautiful Bill" and reveal who really benefits—spoiler alert: it's not the middle class or the national debt. They explore QuickBooks' aggressive new AI agents rollout with price hikes up to 17%, examine why Tesla's CPA CFO earned $139 million in one year, and uncover how tariff-stressed businesses are weaponizing invoice rejections to manage cash flow. You'll discover why the time-based billing model is fundamentally broken in accounting, learn about the emerging "Next 12" tier of accounting firms, and understand why partners work the most hours while achieving only 6.9/10 job satisfaction.Sponsors Relay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/relayTeamUp - http://accountingpodcast.promo/teamup REFRAME 2025 - http://accountingpodcast.promo/reframe2025 Payhawk - http://accountingpodcast.promo/payhawkChapters(00:44) - The Big Beautiful Bill Act Overview (03:13) - Public Perception and Survey Insights (04:51) - Tax Implications and Specific Provisions (19:24) - National Debt Concerns (29:35) - QuickBooks AI Agents and Price Increases (32:52) - AI and Automation in Accounting (33:52) - Intuit's Earnings and Stock Performance (34:53) - Price Increases for QuickBooks Products (36:53) - AI Agents and QuickBooks Plans (38:01) - Impact of AI on Accounting Apps (38:56) - Intuit Enterprise and Accountants' Role (39:28) - Reframe 2025 Conference (42:40) - Big Four Transparency and Work Hours (48:18) - Tariffs and Invoice Rejections (54:52) - Big Four vs. Next 12 Accounting Firms (01:00:48) - Conclusion and CPE Information  Show NotesDo Americans Support Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' Budget Package?

Unpacking the latest annual report from Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs. We're talking with Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and Global VP Threat Intelligence, Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs, to get a snapshot of the active threat landscape and trends from 2024, including a comprehensive analysis across all tactics used in cyberattacks, as outlined in the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

In this interview, Gunter Ollmann, Chief Technology Officer at Cobalt, unpacks the findings from the State of Pentesting Report 2025, spotlighting both measurable security progress and the rising challenges introduced by generative AI (genAI). While the report shows that organizations are resolving vulnerabilities faster than ever, genAI systems stand out as a growing security blind spot: only 21% of serious genAI vulnerabilities identified during penetration testing are fixed, compared to over 75% for API flaws and 68% for cloud vulnerabilities. Nearly 32% of genAI-related findings were classified as high risk — more than double the average across other systems. And although 98% of organizations are adopting genAI-powered features, only 66% are running regular security assessments on those systems.
