Kah Kit Yip has spent his career turning bold ideas about the future of money into working infrastructure.After nearly two decades at Malaysia's central bank and leading breakthrough initiatives at the Bank for International Settlements, he helped pioneer new models for instant cross-border payments, programmable compliance, and faster, safer FX settlement. Now, as Head of Blockchain and Digital Assets at UOB, he's bringing those concepts out of policy sandboxes and into production across Southeast Asia.In this conversation, Ari and Kah Kit explore how interoperable payment rails, wholesale CBDCs, and tokenized assets can move value across borders in real time — while meeting the highest standards for compliance and risk management. They discuss why legal clarity and shared standards are essential for adoption, how institutions can match the speed of digital payments with equally fast safeguards, and what it takes for regulators and industry to build global financial infrastructure together.Along the way, Kah Kit reflects on marathon running, crime novels, and the grit required to solve complex, long-horizon challenges in finance and technology.

In the quest for sustainable energy solutions, fusion energy stands out as a beacon of hope for a cleaner, more efficient future. As the world grapples with the pressing challenges of climate change and dwindling fossil fuel resources, the promise of fusion energy - often described as the power of the stars harnessed on Earth - offers a revolutionary alternative. With its potential for limitless energy production and an inherently safe operational framework, fusion energy is poised to transform the global energy landscape. Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a leading private fusion energy company, exemplifies the progress being made in this field.The Promise of Limitless EnergyFusion energy operates on the principle of fusing atomic nuclei to release vast amounts of energy, a process that occurs naturally in stars, including our sun. This method of energy production is not only efficient but also has the potential to provide a nearly inexhaustible supply of power. The primary fuel for fusion - hydrogen isotopes - can be sourced from seawater and lithium, making it abundantly available. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental degradation, fusion energy promises a sustainable path forward.Commonwealth Fusion Systems is currently in the design and build phase of its fusion technology, aiming to create commercially viable fusion power plants. With the goal of producing more energy than is consumed in the process - a critical milestone known as achieving a "Q greater than one" - Commonwealth Fusion Systems is laying the groundwork for a future where clean energy can be seamlessly integrated into the power grid.Safety: A Key AdvantageOne of the most compelling aspects of fusion energy is its safety profile. Unlike nuclear fission, which involves splitting atoms and can lead to catastrophic failures, such as meltdowns and the release of harmful radioactive waste, fusion operates under fundamentally different principles. The fusion process inherently prevents runaway reactions; if conditions are not maintained, the reaction simply ceases. This characteristic positions fusion as a far safer alternative to traditional nuclear power.Moreover, regulatory frameworks reflect this safety advantage. Fusion energy is not subject to the same stringent regulations as fission, allowing companies like Commonwealth Fusion Systems to innovate and operate with greater agility. The U.S. government has recognized the potential of fusion energy, categorizing it alongside other low-risk technologies, such as MRI machines. This regulatory leniency fosters an environment conducive to rapid development and deployment of fusion technology, enabling companies to bring their innovations to market more swiftly.A Revolutionary Shift in Energy ProductionThe implications of successfully harnessing fusion energy extend beyond just its safety and limitless potential. The advent of fusion power could mark a revolutionary shift in how we produce and consume energy. By providing a clean, reliable source of electricity, fusion has the potential to displace fossil fuels, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.Commonwealth Fusion Systems' partnerships with major corporations, such as Google, underscore the confidence in fusion technology's future. These collaborations illustrate a growing recognition of the importance of clean energy solutions and the role that fusion can play in achieving sustainability goals. As Commonwealth Fusion Systems moves towards building its first commercially viable fusion plant in Virginia, the excitement surrounding the technology continues to grow.ConclusionFusion energy embodies the promise of a safe, limitless, and revolutionary energy future. As research and development in this field advance, the potential for fusion to provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels becomes increasingly tangible. With its unique safety profile and the capacity to generate vast amounts of clean energy, fusion has the power to transform our energy systems and address the urgent challenges posed by climate change. As we stand on the brink of a new era in energy production, the successful realization of Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) could very well be the key to a sustainable and prosperous future for generations to come.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

The violence of colonial wars between 1890 and 1914 is often thought to have been uniquely shaped by the nature of each of the European empires. The Colonial Way of War: Violence and Colonial Warfare in the British, German and Dutch Empires, c. 1890-1914 (Cambridge UP, 2025) argues instead that these wars' extreme violence was part of a shared 'Colonial Way of War'. Through detailed study of British, German and Dutch colonial wars, Tom Menger reveals the transimperial connectivity of fin-de-siècle colonial violence, including practices of scorched earth and extermination, such as the Herero Genocide (1904-1908). He explores how shared thought and practices arose from exchanges and transfers between actors of different empires, both Europeans and non-Europeans. These transfers can be traced in military manuals and other literature, but most notably in the transimperial mobility of military attachés, regular soldiers, settlers or 'adventurers'. Pioneering in its scope, Menger's work re-thinks the supposed exceptionality of standout cases of colonial violence, and more broadly challenges conceptions we have of imperial connectivity.

In this teaching, Pastor Shola Okodugha takes us deeper into the Pioneering Again series by unpacking the concept of power dynamics through the lens of colonization and kingdom influence.He begins by explaining colonization as a system where authority is established over a territory through power, culture, laws, and control. In the kingdom of God, influence also operates through power, and understanding this is critical for believers called to occupy spaces of influence.Pastor Shola highlights the spiritual significance of walls and gates. Walls represent boundaries, protection, and defense, while gates symbolize access points, authority, leadership, and control. When God calls you into mountains of influence, you are not meant to live at the mercy of the enemy.Drawing from biblical examples of warfare, leadership, and divine intervention, this message emphasizes that pioneering requires spiritual authority, strategic positioning, and alignment with God's power.This teaching will challenge you to rethink influence, territory, and spiritual responsibility as you step boldly into God's assignment for your life.Watch, learn, and prepare to pioneer with understanding.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this powerful and wide-ranging episode of Gracias, Come Again, we sit down with DJ Tony Touch, legendary DJ, producer, artist, mixtape pioneer, and one of the most influential cultural figures in Hip-Hop history. Tony Touch takes us back to his upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, sharing how his Puerto Rican roots and musical household shaped his destiny. Raised in a family of musicians, with a grandfather and father who played music and a mother who sang, Tony explains how music was always in his DNA. We explore Tony Touch’s role as a firsthand witness to the birth of Hip-Hop AND reggaeton and how he has remained present and impactful decade after decade, building a global legacy while staying grounded in community. Going beyond the music, Tony speaks candidly about his private life, sharing that he is both a father and a grandfather, while explaining why he chooses to keep much of his personal life out of the spotlight. He discusses growing up in a religious home, how faith and God have always guided his journey, and how he attributes his success, longevity, and purpose to his spiritual foundation. The conversation also dives into Boricuas in Hip-Hop, Tony’s groundbreaking ReggaeTony era, and his work with icons like Tego Calderón & Ivy Queen. Tony reflects on being a crucial bridge when reggaeton traveled from Puerto Rico to New York, and how he helped introduce the sound to the Spanglish and Latino communities across the United States. We also get his thoughts on Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl performance, his cultural impact, and what his success represents for Latino music on the global stage. Tony closes the episode by sharing his vision for 2026 and graciously accepting his flowers as a true hip-hop legend whose influence continues to shape generations.

  Ron Blue is a pioneering Christian financial planner, longtime CPA, and founder of the firms and ministries that helped shape today's faith-based financial movement. After growing up in Indiana, studying at Indiana University, and working for KPMG in New York, Dallas, and San Francisco, Ron returned home to start his own CPA firm in 1970. That firm would grow into one of the top 50 accounting firms in the country, and later, Ron would go on to launch a fee-based financial planning firm for Christians, work closely with Campus Crusade (Cru), and help birth Kingdom Advisors and related initiatives that now influence thousands of advisors and families around the world.  In this episode of The Wow Factor, Brad sits down with Ron to trace how a rigid religious upbringing, an intense drive for success, and a quiet conversion moment on the way to a golf game all led to a radical decision to walk away from a thriving CPA practice and follow God's call to Atlanta. Ron shares how that step of faith, a series of "turning points" he only recognized in hindsight, and a growing conviction that there's no such thing as an independent financial decision laid the groundwork for Christian financial planning, national-level generosity, and ultimately the founding of Kingdom Advisors.  "Everything turned when I realized it all hinged on the resurrection. If the resurrection happened, Christianity is true and I had to respond to that." - Ron Blue  "There's no such thing as an independent financial decision. Every choice you make with money touches your family, your future, and your ability to give." - Ron Blue  "I really believe the church is the next frontier for biblical financial wisdom. We're just now seeing how all these years of proof-of-concept were preparation for serving the local church." - Ron Blue  This Week on The Wow Factor:  • Ron's Indiana roots, early success track, and what drew him to the "big time" at KPMG in New York  • Leaving a secure global firm to start a CPA practice in Indianapolis and realizing most work was really counseling around money and taxes  • Childhood legalism, the soapbox derby story, and how early church experiences shaped his reaction against faith  • Ron's journey from "success first" to wrestling with the resurrection and praying to receive Christ alone in his car  • Moving to Atlanta after a clear call from Philippians 3 and a literal "For Sale by Owner" sign in the attic  • How a time-based CPA model became the blueprint for a fee-for-advice Christian financial planning firm  • The "first million-dollar giver" and the early financial plan that proved generosity could increase cash flow  • Being let go by the board of the firm that bore his name—and why that painful moment was a turning point  • Practical stories of cash-in-hand generosity to families, single moms, and unseen workers  • Ron's vision for serving local churches through trained Kingdom Advisors and holistic financial discipleship  Ron Blue's Word of Wisdom:  Ron believes the local church is the next major frontier for biblical financial discipleship. After decades of proving that faith-based financial principles work, he sees churches uniquely positioned to help people understand stewardship, generosity, and calling at every life stage.   Connect With Ron Blue:  Kingdom Advisors  Ron Blue Institute   Blue Trust    Connect With Brad Formsma:  WOW Factor Website    Brad Formsma on LinkedIn    Brad Formsma on Instagram    Brad Formsma on Facebook    Brad Formsma on X

Anjali Saraogi hasbeen an ultra runner. She started running in her early 40s and pretty quickly discovered a love and talent for running far, and running fast. She ran the Comrades Marathon in 2017, in a time of 8 hours, 38 minutes: a huge accomplishment and at the time, it was the fastest time run by an Indian woman at that race. Anjali then went on to solidify her place as one of India's best ultra runners, and she is a pioneer in the sport in her country; distance running, as Anjali talks about in her story, is relatively new in India. So not only was Anjali a role model for what's possible as an older woman, having begun competitive sports in her 40s, she became a role model for what's possible for women, period. Anjali has represented India in international championship races, including the 100k world championships and 100k Asia and Oceania championships, which you'll hear about in her story. But with the onset of health issues around menopause, Anjali had to give up running competitively and then altogether. Now, she's back. And she shares the whole story here. It's a story that's rooted in one constant: Anjali loves to run; it's a feeling she's has had since the beginning of her running journey, and it continues to this day.How to Keep Up with Anjali SaraogiOn Instagram: @runjali1973Anjali Saraogi's Comrades episode: womensrunningstories.com/anjali-saraogi-the-comrades-marathon-a-first-timers-journeyTo support WRS, please rate and review the showiTunes/Apple:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44fa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music CreditsCormac O'Regan, of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Playtoh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coma-Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Camila_Noir,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music of the Future, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠chillmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠aidanpinsent⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rockot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways to Connect and Engage with Women's Running StoriesWRS Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@womensrunningstories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/WomensRunningStories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ womensrunningstories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this powerful continuation of Pioneering Again, our Global Lead Pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, builds on last Sunday's teaching by revealing that true pioneering begins with following Jesus, not just believing in Him casually.Drawing from scriptures such as Hebrews 12:2 and John 3, Pastor Shola explains that belief goes beyond words. You can believe a person without believing their ways, actions, or deeds. However, authentic faith is revealed through alignment with the person, ways, and sacrifice of Jesus.This message emphasizes that every pioneer must be willing to sacrifice today for tomorrow. Just as salvation came at great cost, pioneering requires letting go of the seen for the unseen, trusting that God will bring increase in due time. Nothing comes until something goes.This teaching is a call to deeper faith, intentional sacrifice, and obedience as God prepares His people to pioneer boldly again.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav is joined by Dr. Yannis Alexandrides and Eva Alexandridis, the husband-and-wife team behind 111 Harley St. and 111SKIN, for a candid, science-forward conversation on regenerative aesthetics, protocol-based skincare, and what longevity really looks like when it's rooted in medicine—not marketing.111SKIN didn't start as a beauty brand. It began in the operating room. Dr. Alexandrides shares how his work in facial plastic surgery led him to develop skincare that could support faster healing and stronger outcomes after surgery—when nothing on the market met his clinical standards. What surprised him most wasn't just improved recovery, but the long-term transformation in skin quality patients experienced once healing was complete. That insight became the blueprint for translating surgical-grade science into daily care.A central theme of the episode is maintenance. Procedures, Dr. Alexandrides explains, are only as successful as the skin's baseline health. Eva expands on this philosophy, emphasizing that 111SKIN was never about instant fixes—it was about training skin to behave better over time. Longevity, in their view, is built through consistency, restraint, and respect for biology.The conversation also dives into the brand's measured approach to advanced technologies like exosomes—used as targeted protocols rather than trends—and the broader shift in aesthetics toward regeneration over replacement. From deep plane techniques to micrografting, Dr. Alexandrides explains why modern plastic surgery is moving away from excess and toward preservation.Throughout the episode, one message remains clear: longevity aesthetics aren't about changing who you are—they're about supporting skin health so you can look like yourself, for longer.Listen to the full episode of Skin Anarchy to hear Dr. Yannis Alexandrides and Eva Alexandridis unpack the science behind 111SKIN, regenerative skincare, and the future of evidence-based aesthetic care.SHOP 111SKINDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

We're back, a few days later than normal due to the festive break but we have a fantastic podcast to kick start 2026. This month we have two great guests, first up is Jake Davoile, a Fisheries Management Advisor who works for the Angling Trust on a variety of predation projects including the one I really wanted to discuss, seal predation. Yes you read that right, it's a far bigger issue than many even know and Jake plus others have been working tirelessly to re-home seals that ended up in the river Nene with devastating impacts to fish populations. This really is a must-listen as seals in our freshwater systems are on the rise and sadly seal predation has decimated many freshwater river sections in recent years, including a section of the Thames that I was fishing only last year. We follow that with a thoroughly enjoyable chat with Simon Hartop. Now in my opinion Simon once caught a carp that rocked the angling world, almost unknown at the time but equally as impactful as the Black Mirror but this one was even harder to catch. We get an insight into that incredible campaign, as well as his time on the Thames and how fishing for odd uns, carp with very few captures has consumed him over the years. It's not all carp, it was wonderful to touch on Si's editorial work with the BCSG magazine and his involvement with Gaz's Subsurface journals too. To add a little slice of nostalgia to the mix I got to record this chat on Si's old Thames boat, the "Griffin" as by some strange turn of fate my good friend Liam now owns it and it's taken on a new chapter in it's angling life. Hope you enjoy it and Happy New Year to all our listeners.

This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PKfnvI0K0u4    Welcome back to Stories from the River. As we close out 2025, we bring you an exclusive insight into Home Furnishings Expert "Iron" Mike Cohen's success for the year, selling over $2,000,000 for the Cary Crushers in just his 3rd full year with Broad River. Mike has been with Broad River since July 2022.  Mike shares his story and his path to success with Head Coach Stacey McCormick (EVP, Retail Performance) in today's episode (our final episode of the year). Mike began his career with The River as a Home Furnishings Associate in Durham in the Southpoint location, and worked there for two years before transferring to the Cary Ashley Store.  Mike sold over $1M in his first full year (2023) in Durham Southpoint, then sold over $1.5M in his 2nd full year (2024), which was split between Durham Southpoint and Cary.  But, this year, Mike has continued the torrid pace that really began in the back half of 2024 to reach that elusive and impressive $2,000,000 milestone after only 11 months and 1 day in 2025!   Being only the 5th person in company history to achieve this impressive $2M milestone, Mike leads us through his exciting journey from working part-time during college in New Jersey to finding his passion and career success in furniture sales. Mike shares that his early experiences, personal goals, the support of his team, and Broad River's leadership led him to reach this career goal so early in his career at only 26 years of age.  Learn all about Mike's beginnings, his transition from the Durham Southpoint location to Cary, his personal and professional development, and how his store's pursuit of excellence motivated him.  Mike shares how his outlook has changed in the last several years as he tried to chase bigger goals.  And, he remarks about the motivational aspect of aspirational goals and big jackpot bonuses, as well as charting the company's performance and success as much as his own.   We hope you enjoy this episode and have a happy and safe end of 2025.
