This episode examines a challenge at the heart of development finance. Much energy is focused on mobilising more capital in low-income countries and emerging economies, but funding alone isn't enough. A deeper issue persists: there simply aren't enough bankable projects – ventures that are ready to absorb investments at scale.Traditionally, development finance has been demand-led – waiting for the right opportunities to emerge. But this model is evolving. Some development institutions (DFIs) are now looking to actively help create the very markets we want to invest in.Our recent report explores this shift, highlighting how institutions like British International Investment (BII) and Norfund are stepping in to initiate entirely new commercial ventures in challenging markets. These aim to generate critical investments in sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture and healthcare.So what does it take to build truly investable opportunities from the ground up? Experts discuss how to create sustainable, locally owned ventures that can deliver lasting development impact.GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalPaddy Carter, Director of Development Economics, British International InvestmentFrederique Dahan, Director, Development and Public Finance team, ODI GlobalShaun Githuku, Director, Gridworks Development Partners LLPNoah Law, Labour MP for St Austell and Newquay & Member of the International Development Committee, UK ParliamentRelated resourcesDFI sponsorship of new platforms and ventures: why and how?

Plus, we track their jump from globe-trotting vet work to running their own breeding farm in Newmarket.Key topics we discussed:How Kate talked Tim onto a flight to Mongolia and what shocked them most on arrival.The unfiltered day-to-day of a Derby vet: twelve-hour shifts, storm chasing, and handing out time penalties with a smile.Food culture on the step, including the infamous offal bowl and why Skittles sometimes save lives.Life after the Derby: setting up a thoroughbred breeding business, balancing farm chores with late-night foal checks, and Tim's first polo lesson.Racing pigeons explained by a guy who owns fifty of them and still finds time to check heart rates on horses.Follow along Tim and Kate's journey:Facebook:@burden_lee_equine_ltd@burden_lee_equine_ltdLike what you heard?

Paul shares the number one factor that leads to an underperforming retirement account: investor behavior. Listen along as Paul shares how the industry hides their market timing and stock picking through “diversified” investments like ETFs and indexing, and terms like “turnover ratio” and “tactical asset allocation.” Paul wants investors to watch out for these practices and shares where companies are required to disclose if they are gambling with your money.    For more information about what we do or how we can help you, schedule a 15-minute call with us here: paulwinkler.com/call.

Many punters have noted the absence of Luke Currie from the Melbourne riding ranks in recent weeks. The popular jockey has simply taken advantage of the off-season period to attend to a nagging knee issue he's been dealing with for quite some time.  He's making great progress and hopes to return to the saddle in just a few weeks. Luke Currie has had a presence among Victoria's top bracket of riders for close to three decades posting more than 1500 winners with 13 Gr 1's prominent on his CV. He's been on our podcast shortlist for a long time and we've been able to make it happen during his current layoff. Luke begins by tendering a full report on his troublesome knee. He says the timing of his hiatus wasn't ideal. He'd been riding winners everywhere. The jockey looks back on his Tasmanian upbringing and an early apprenticeship to his father Ricky. He looks back on a couple of winners in his home state. The system was such that any Tasmanian wins would have had an effect on his Victorian claim. He had to relocate as soon as possible.  Luke looks back on his time with trainer and former champion jockey Pat Hyland. He talks of a transfer to Robbie Griffiths in the latter stages of his apprenticeship, and the golden opportunity he was given by his new boss. The high profile jockey looks back on a six race association with champion mare Makybe Diva. Luke remembers his first Gr 1 success on hardy gelding Roman Arch in the famous Toorak Hcp. He pays tribute to mentor, confidant and friend the late Deane Lester. He reminisces about two C.F Orr victories on Suavito and Manuel. The jockey pays a heartfelt tribute to brilliant mare Sunlight  who provided him with ten wins including two Gr 1's. He recalls her fighting effort to beat some star colts in the Coolmore Stud Stakes.  Luke marvels at the mind boggling money generated by Sunlight and her relatives in the sale ring. Currie will always have a soft spot for Hey Doc. He rode the sprinter-miler 27 times for 8 wins including 4 Gr 1's. He reviews his two memorable Blue Diamond wins on Lyre and Artorius. Luke says he was thrilled to win the 2021 Newmarket for old friend Matthew Ellerton. He agrees his McKinnon Stakes win on Arcadia Queen was perhaps the easiest elite level win he's ever been involved with. Luke looks back on his Hong Kong experience at the height of the covid pandemic. He won at his first race ride, but everything went “belly up” from there. He says there was one memorable development during his time in Hong Kong when invited to fly home to ride Mr. Brightside in the All Star Mile at Moonee Valley. The story had a happy ending. Luke pays tribute to his girls- wife Sophia and daughters Mia and Miley.  This is a laid back chat with a Melbourne jockey whose reputation for hard work and reliability precedes him wherever he goes.

An elderly person has been hospitalised with serious injuries following an attack by a German Shepherd in Newmarket on Fergus. The Clare County Dog Warden has confirmed the person suffered multiple bites causing extensive damage which may require surgery. In a separate incident in Newmarket, a young girl was injured when also bitten by a German Shepherd, while a woman walking on the grounds of the University of Limerick suffered bites from a brown Bull Terrier. Frankie Coote says the Bull Terrier in question is still not contained and is advising people to exercise caution on the Clare side of the campus and contact him with information on any sightings.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America. SUBMITTED BY: Tim Hixson_____________________________________________________________ Hi Vic and Ken,Thank you for doing this. This is a short story about my great grandfather, Matthew Hixson, who fought in the American Revolution. God bless.Sincerely,Tim Hixson Name/Rank: Matthew Hixson, Private & Colonel, enlisted at Ringo’s Tavern, New Market, NJ Colony summer of 1775Branch/Battalion: New Jersey Colonial Militia, later Continental Army, during the American RevolutionDate of Service: Served: summer 1775 until fall of 1778Awards/Medals: None known. Matthew Hixson was my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. He was born in 1757 in the town of New Market, Colony of New Jersey. He was one of three brothers who served during the American Revolution. During his 3 years of service he was stationed in and around various townships around New Jersey and New York primarily, serving as a private first in the NJ Militia and later the Continental Army. However, during his last posting in 1778 he held the rank of Colonel for 10 days before his final discharge, no idea why! He married my great (times 8!) grandmother Catherine Hogg in 1779 and eventually moved to Ohio and bought a farm north east of Cincinnati. While we don’t know what if any combat he might have seen as he apparently never talked about it during his life, we know from his own words how in 1832 he finally received notification of the promised veterans pension him and his fellow soldiers were originally promised by the Continental Congress during the War and later the US government. He was 75 years at the time, and he still had to wait another year for it to arrive. In 1833 $100 from the US government was sent to a solicitor (lawyer) in his son’s name for 2 and a half years pension. When Matthew died in 1838 and his debts were paid and remaining estate split among his children, it was realized that he never actually saw a cent of any of that pension the few years he received it. So, for those veterans alive today still dealing with all the troubles in the VA, take heart…the guys who fought in our first war as a nation had to go through similar crap in their day. Vic and Ken, love your show. Thanks to my grandfather, I’ve discovered I’ve got a little bit of New Jersey in me too!

Back in the summer of 2014, Market Basket owners Arthur T. Demoulas and his three sisters were in a battle with their cousin for control of the company, in which customer boycotts and employee walkouts ensued. Now, this week CEO Arthur T Demoulas, two of his children and three other Market Basket executives were suspended and put on paid leave. The Market Basket board of directors said Arthur is being investigated by an independent law firm "for planning a work stoppage in retaliation for requests from the board for basic collaboration and oversight." Arthur and his allies claim, the investigation is "a farcical cover for a hostile takeover."
