The TWENTY30's co-hosts Hanaa Almoaibed and Lucien Zeigler sit down with Saud Alturki, Saudi music producer, curator, and founder of Brij Entertainment ahead of the release of his third album, High Octane. A project two and a half years in the making, the track list reads like a love letter to hip hop royalty. Busta Rhymes. Swizz Beatz. West Side Boogie. Rhapsody, whom Saud calls his favorite female MC alive today. Working with his creative director Chindi, who turned every production conversation into something closer to a therapy session, Saud landed on a concept that's deeply rooted in where he's from, the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Saud takes us back to the beginning: a freshman at McGill in Montreal, freezing through his first Canadian winter and discovering that music wasn't just something he loved — it was something he could do. A move to LA, a chance encounter at a Verizon store with a gospel-tinged R&B singer named Bernard, and seven years of patience later, he finally put out his first single. That story alone sets the tone for everything that follows: Saud is someone who builds slowly, deliberately, and for keeps. But the conversation doesn't stop at the album. Saud talks about what it really takes to build a music industry in Saudi Arabia — not just a music scene. Venues, labels, studios, government support, festivals like Middle Beast that have built an entire ecosystem around artists. He's careful to say Saudi isn't quite an industry yet, but the infrastructure is finally arriving, and the talent — including his Brij Entertainment artist Hajaj, the first Saudi to perform at Grammy weekend in LA — is already outpacing it. There's also a sharp, honest take on the streaming era, why dropping albums in 2025 is "not the best move" (and why he's doing it anyway), the emerging Saudi genre Hoppe — a fusion of Sambri and hip hop that he wishes he'd invented — and what he tells young artists in Riyadh who have every resource he never had at 17. High Octane drops after Ramadan.

Florian Hoppe, Partner at Bain, joins Jeremy Au to unpack insights from the Bain Southeast Asia Digital Economy Report 2025 and explain why the region's digital economy keeps growing despite global uncertainty and negative headlines. They explore the long-term forces behind this resilience, including consumer adoption, payments and logistics infrastructure, and sustained middle-class demand. The conversation covers the expansion from ASEAN six to ASEAN ten, how regional scale really works for founders, and why competition from China and global players continues to fuel innovation. Florian also explains why AI and data centers should be seen as foundational utilities, how local AI solutions create real value in healthcare and education, and what investors, policymakers, and parents should focus on as Southeast Asia enters its next digital decade. 03:03 Adoption drives resilience: Smartphone penetration, payments, logistics, and trust infrastructure enabled durable digital behavior over time. 05:52 ASEAN expanded from six to ten countries: New markets added population and long-term upside, even with limited short-term GMV impact. 08:51 Regional strategy depends on product depth: High-end offerings cluster in major cities, while mass-market products still scale across ASEAN. 14:18 AI growth starts with infrastructure: Data centers and talent form the base layer before real business value emerges. 15:52 AI in Southeast Asia prioritizes quality and access: Lower labor costs shift focus from cost cutting to better healthcare and education outcomes. 22:17 Digital economy reached policy relevance: It now represents a meaningful share of GDP and employs tens of millions across the region. 29:50 Preparing the next generation for an AI economy: Florian argues parents should train curiosity, abstract thinking, and learning ability, rather than over-optimizing for specific technical skills too early.

This week, Bob walks through two related debates: Hoppe's criticism of Argentina's President Milei for not immediately closing Argentina's central bank, and the follow-up exchange between Guido Hülsmann and Philipp Bagus on Mises.org over dollarization and the peso. Along the way, he reviews Mises's distinctions among commodity, credit, and fiat money, the concepts of money substitutes and fiduciary media, and the interesting structure of Argentina's short-term central bank debtGuido Hülsmann and Philipp Bagus' Debate on Mises.org: Mises.org/HAP529aThe Human Action Podcast Episode with Nicolás Cachanosky: Mises.org/HAP529bBob's Study Guide to The Theory of Money and Credit: Mises.org/HAP529cThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.
