In This Episode Globetrotter and Host Brett King shares banking news and investment conversations from around the world We start today's podcast on banking with Brett's one on one discussion on tech in Thailand with Dr. Supachai Kid Parchariyanon. Dr. Kid is CEO and Co-Founder of consulting company Rise, and managing partner for SeaX Ventures, a Thai venture capital firm with presence in Silicon Valley. Rise's company goal is to drive 1% of the GDP in Thailand as well as reduce 1% of carbon emissions in all of Southeast Asia. Earlier in his career, Dr. Kid was a key figure responsible for bringing the social media app Twitter (now known as X) to Thailand, it was a technical challenge, and one that had legal barriers as well. Later, he and his team were also able to code software for the Nokia phone, creating in his words a “Robin Hood-like app” for Thailand. He speaks to us today about the Thai tech scene, what's happening in fintech and the VC world, and specifically what's helping drive the Thai economy -- from fintech to health tourism to the Thai lifestyle movement and digital nomad visas, the conversation is wide-ranging as this small country slowly recovers from covid and faces demographic headwinds. With an aging society they are looking to attract new talent and people to the country, collaborate not compete and expand investment in deep tech, AI, agritech, medical, and tourism tech. Then, from the 24 Fintech Conference in Saudi Arabia, Brett introduces us to Saudi Arabia's Barq, making headlines around the region and other parts of the world, as he sits down with its Chief Business Officer, Saad Almuhana. Barq is the newest and fastest growing private wallet and challenger bank in Saudi Arabia, the Middle East and potentially the world, having garnered 1.5M customers in 35 days -- having hit the amazing milestone of 1M customers in 21 days. In Saudi Arabia, younger people represent 70% of the population, tech savvy, mobile banking is very successful in the Kingdom with mobile penetration off the charts. Consumer appetite is high for help with finances in a quick manner. Remittance is a big part of Barq's offering, assuring customers that the optimal rail is selected at the right time for payment transactions. The journey started August 2024 with an EMI license (e-money), expansion plans are already in the works. In their second month, Barq is enhancing service offerings through multiple partnerships and hoping to hit 2M customers. If the evolution of the fintech is such, they have the option to upgrade to a full bank. It's an interesting and unique journey, one of incredible growth.

Spanning the globe to bring smoking hot BBQ talk with Ben Arnot from Smoking Hot Confessions and exceptional baseball talk with Joe Ceraulo, host of Ceraulo Sports Talk  Ben Arnot believes in the power of barbecue.  What exactly does that mean?  To Ben and his Smoking Hot Confessions team, "It is a power that is unique and mystifying.  It is the power to not only deliver delicious foods, but to bring people together and bind them in a way that little else can.  Family and friends come together whenever there is meat over a flame.  Old arguments are forgotten and fractured relationships are repaired.  At Smoking Hot Confessions, we truly believe that BBQ has the power to heal the world."  Beautiful thoughts from someone who has fallen in love with a style of cooking whose breadth is expanding worldwide and, in his native Australia, Ben is helping lead that growth.  Ben hosts the Smoking Hot Confessions Podcast, writes a blog as well as the eBooks, The Bacon Manifesto and 27 Lessons Learned From Competition BBQ, makes numerous guest appearances, writes for the Barbecue News Magazine, and is active on many social media platforms.  More information on Ben Arnot and Smoking Hot Confessions can be found at https://smokinghotconfessions.com/    Joe Ceraulo knows sports and conveys this knowledge in an extremely entertaining and professional manner.  As host of the podcast, Ceraulo Sports Talk as well as the podcast, Bleav In Queens he gets to convey his knowledge and opinions with sports fanatics everywhere.  He starts by telling us that baseball and BBQ are two of his favorite things, which immediately ingratiates himself with his hosts.  He has known from an early age that he was either going to make his living playing sports or talking about them.  He was a good athlete, but a much better talker, and we are the fortunate recipient.  Joe is a tremendous New York Mets fan, as his father has worked in the Mets organization for many years and Joe had the opportunity to work for them as well.  He is excited about the World Baseball Classic, but even more excited about the upcoming Major League Baseball season.  Working his way up in the sports talk industry has included an internship at SiriusXM where he had the opportunity to learn from one of sports talk radio's pioneers, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo.  Lots of exceptional baseball discussion and a smattering of barbecue talk.

It's the last of a trio of inadvertent Coffeeshop Conversations with accordion players for which I have no explanation other than they all have clever, sparkling personalities. First was Darka Dusty, then Courtney von Drehle and today it's Jetty Swart. I asked her how to pronounce her name, and since I don't edit these things, you'll hear her explanation in detail including her other name, Jet Black Pearl. She's a composer, singer, accordionist and an all-around funny, singular personality who is married to the Bubble Man. She is from the Netherlands and has travelled the world performing and leaving a trail of delight wherever she goes. Including here. Meet Jetty Swart.

 You knock on doors till you find someone who will let you use their yard!And that's how they got across Ireland.  Riding everyday and knocking on people's doors, those with a field that is, and see if you can spend the night!From her current window she can see “The Wall”…  The Berlin wall.  Where she is trapped during the covid.  She is isolated in isolation in an old communist village, with her two horses.Questions:How do you eat when you're trekking across Ireland on a horses?Where do you stay?How does it work?  When you're carrying everything you have in saddle bags?You've got to hear how this works!…She left America about 10 years ago.They finish their trek across Ireland in November 2020.  Park their horses in stables with an ocean view.  Then in feb pandemic hits…  as the horses are in transport, they make it to Germany and the boarders closed!  The horses (and her) are trapped in Germany.How does she pay for this?  She is a professional horse trainer and coach and she travels the world developing riding clubs, giving lessons, clinics, and things like that.In Ireland as she was riding around she would give lessons along the way.And she has https://equestrianadventuresses.com/ which is for women love horses, travel and adventure.  They filmed their Ireland adventure and it is now on Amazon Prime.Her and I meet in the 2CCX and she is a key cog to the naming of “Bitch Slap …the accelerated path to peace” podcast…  It turns out she's traveled all over the world…  Her personal goal is to visit every country in the world.  So far it's “only “60” out of 193.  She lived in Egypt for 2 years, India for 2 years.  Living there starting from 22yrs old.  Iraq for a week.  Yemen for a week.  Yemen when the boarders weren't open for tourists.  She loves the Arabic countries.   There are questions that she has that she wants answers to.She's seen the things that you haven't seen on the news…  She's lived in, been locked down in, and trapped in middle eastern countries where it is not a good place to be a white women.  in 2011…  In Egypt, they are protesting and rioting, and the police are on stand down.  Looting.      Kids with guns directing traffic.  At this point she's been to so many countries as a solo blond girl…  But the local's will protect you.  There are kind people everywhere.  The first thing she does is asks the taxi driver “what are the local scams that I need to know about?”  And they like to tell her and befriend her.What's the heaviest situation where the auntie comes to your rescue?  Yemen definitely was one of those intense places because it was at war…  quite a few scary things happened there.  In India every single day was a battle for me in India.  Things that I tried that kept me safe in the Middle East did not work in India.  …Men tried to attack me.  I'm not in a touristy place in India, working on a big project.  The word spread like wild fire that there was a white women there…  50 Indian men were searching for me and they were intent on finding me.  I could see it in there eyes and I knew exactly what they were there for.  All the local men who were working with her gathered arms and protected her.  Those aunties serving you tea in the cafes…  She will chase the men away for you.  She had to learn to allow her self to be helped by others.  Set my ego aside “they know better than me”.  How about a scary safety wise issue?  …so in Cambodia…  There's the skooty bike scam.  And then the real danger is Yemen.  I speak Egyptian Arabic…  and when I decide to go to Yemen mom comes along.  I needed a “fixer” to get across the boarder…  You cannot be found out that you are American.  There is 50 - 60 military checkpoints as we drive across 400 miles.  “You cannot be found out.”  “I am trusting my life with this man that I have just known for like 12 seconds.”  LIke the Indiana Jones Fixer.  In Yemen we couldn't really leave the vehicle…  and the one of the men they are interacting with knows where the “terrorists are”.  Al Qaeda and Isis.  It was definitely very scary.  We had gone through a checkpoint…  the fixer had arranged that we should change vehicles every couple of hours so the terrorists wouldn't find us.   Trucks and guns, and AK 47's and the big guns.  “…all of the sudden we hear machine gun fire”.  And we are in this “bowl” this canyon.  And it is loud.  “Just act normal, we are a family having lunch.”  She tells the fixer “I want the truth, what happened at that checkpoint…”   “It was attached by terrorists, and several people were killed…”  His family is there every single day.  They live there.  “This is their normal”.  Why were you there?  “I wanted to have questions answered…” because I do live the middle east.  When 9/11 happened my dad was deployed, and my brother was deployed, and my whole family has been deployed…   “Unfortunately, we have this negative view of Muslims and Islam and all this stuff…” For my self I wanted to know about the religion and about the culture.  “Why are Americans there dropping bombs?  I need to know.”  I don't know why I'm so fascinated by the Arabic culture.  Every time I'm there I find the answers I'm looking for…I as able to send the fixers daughter to college.  If I hadn't gone she wouldn't have been able to go to college.  “I can't help everyone but maybe I helped her, I helped this family…  at least”.  Sometimes you can't really help.  “…But sometimes just listening.”  I feel like somehow “It was healing for them to share.”  My questions and level of understanding has evolved.  Example she fasted for Ramadan.  I want to know about the people who are living there.I went to Vietnam and the museum is called the “American War Museum”.  It's so crazy…  I'm 20 some years old (when I was there) and Never did it occur to me there side of the story…  “Why did I not learn this when I was growing up”.  I want to hear the peoples life story, “What was it life for you…  while I was at WallMart… bitching about a FaceBook post”.  It's a very humbling experience.It's bringing you this connectedness yes?  “Yes”.  She's got no agenda to promote, it is just providing her peace for herself.  There are members of my own family I won't share this too.  The would judge.  “It's a heavy burden to carry, to see some of the things and to not be able to help.”  I cannot help everyone I mean I've been homeless for the last two years.  So it shifted to I've got to start helping myself.Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?  Yes.  I like to learn about all the religions in an intelligent way.  She wants to learn these things real time.How do you meet the husband…  Is he along for the ride or?  I met him in Azerbaijan…  There was this car rally I had to do.  I did it solo, which has not been done before.  In a hot pink car…  Driving through all the “stans” Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan.  The more east I go the more game face I become.  I'm going through police crossings, boarder checks, in a hot pink car…I'm sleeping in my car at the port for cargo ships for 5 days…  no place to go to the bathroom lol.  My husband pulls up and beelines for me all smily faces and sunshine, “Hey is there a ferryboat?”.  “He was chasing me for like 20 countries”.  But he didn't give up…  (Mischa is thinking here.  OMG the story just gets better!!!  It dosen't stop.)  “He had done something sweet for me while I was in Mongolia.”Good news “You've got to be in Greece for two weeks”.  Then to Belgium…  where it's a 6 hour drive for Christian (her husband) who surprises her…  It's a very sweet story :).Born and Bread California?  Yes, I left (California) when I was 16 to go to Horsey school in Oklahoma.  My first international job in Belgium when I was 21.I wanted to be a top rider in the Olympics…  I picked stalls to help pay for lessons.  I knew since I was very little that I would work with horses.  I've worked with horses since I was 15 yrs old.  Family, cousins, uncles, everyone was military…  She was the loan wolf.  She may have had a broader richer experience then she would have if she had joined the military?  Yes.  You can not know me and not Egyptian food and see Egypt.  Clearly your families military experience groomed you for your travels.  Yes, I grew up in that environment and learn these things.  I'm very observant and aware.  It's defiantly helped me stay out of danger a few times.  Because I was aware and mindful I got out of there.  I got of there safe.  “My Halloweens were probably a bit more careful.”  As a kid you don't really know but you pick up on some things.  As I kid I was learning how to get out of a choke hold.  ‘Daaad, when is this gonna happen?”You'd be surprised what people tell you if they're asked.My brother and I are a little different.  “Perhaps he's been brainwashed by the military.”“You don't have to do what I do, but there's so many people in America that you could connect with and meet just because you've heard of their country or you know how to say hello in their language”.(Mischa's thought) …the awareness of how diverse America is and the illusion that it's not.Now you're trapped in Germany in the eastern wall…  She's only 31 and just getting started.  They can find me on youtube. and books ect.  She taps into the humanity.  Every time I watch one of her videos I cry.  Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: contact@belove.media   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

On a sizzling weekend here, our sports focus could be everywhere!!!

For the June 2019 podcast, I talked with Troy Engle. Troy is an American track and field coach who is now working in Singapore. He has been involved with developing the Singapore coaching education and development system and has also recently moved into working with academies.We discuss his past coaching experience in the US from being a college track and field coach to a Paralympic coach.Troy attended the NSSU Coach Development program that he describes as a life changing experience. The USCCE/ICCE Coach Developer Academy is modeled on this program (albeit in a shortened format).We discuss the sporting culture in Singapore where a challenge is to change the view that sport is just something kids do (more my words than Troy’s). We also discuss the other challenges and opportunities in Singapore.Troy can be found on Twitter @CoachTroyEngle

April 21, 2016 Welcome back to World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation. Today we’ve got a true renaissance man with us. I know that term gets thrown around, but in this case it fits well. Composer/multi-instrumentalist David Ornette Cherry comes back to Portland to write but when he’s not here he’s constantly in motion, travelling coast-to-coast and world-wide and playing very diverse musics. He is, as you may know the son of beloved Jazz and World Music composer/trumpeter Don Cherry, one of the most influential musicians of his era. Don is gone, but the spirit of his music is being advanced by his son. Of course David has his own voice and is involved in a wide variety of performance, including theater. It’s always engaging to talk with him.

Lots of prom talk, including how not to ask.

So what happened on Snow Mountain???

On this date in 1932, the BBC Empire Service radio system went on the air for the first time. Here are some things you may not have known about what is now called BBC World Service. The Empire Service began as a shortwave service aimed at English speakers in the far-flung reaches of the British Empire. It would take weeks for letters to reach some points by mail, while radio could reach them instantly. King George V said the service was intended for “men and women, so cut off by the snow, the desert or the sea, that only voices out of the air can reach them.” While those behind the idea had high hopes for the service in the long term, their short-term hopes were more guarded. The director general of the BBC, John Reith (Wreath), opened the service by saying: “Don’t expect too much in the early days; for some time we shall transmit comparatively simple programs, to give the best chance of intelligible reception and provide evidence as to the type of material most suitable for the service in each zone. The programs will neither be very interesting or good.” The first foreign-language service, in Arabic, was launched in January 1938, followed in March by German programming. By 1942, the service was broadcasting in all major European languages, and had been renamed BBC Overseas Service. During World War II, the Overseas Service broadcast propaganda and its French service sent coded message to the French Resistance. In 1965, the service was again renamed, this time as BBC World Service. At various times, the BBC World Service has operated in 70 different languages and dialects around the world. Through the years, services have been started and discontinued. In the 1990s and early 2000s, many of the European-language services were discontinued as the majority of listeners in those countries listened in English. Budget cuts and changing technologies have also led the BBC to reduce the number of countries it broadcasts to on shortwave radio. Countries that retain shortwave service today are mostly in Africa, Asia and South America. Europe, North America and Australia are served by local FM stations, and streaming on the internet. Today, the service broadcasts in 27 languages, the most recently added service is in the Krygyz language of Kyrgyzstan. The service plans to begin broadcasting to Nigeria in Igbo, Nigerian Pidgin, and Yoruba soon. Our question: Which European language service was the first to be discontinued by the BBC World Service?   Today is unofficially National Hard Candy Day, and National Oatmeal Muffin Day. It’s the birthday of former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, who was born in 1905; singer Edith Piaf, who was born in 1915; and musician Maurice White, who was born in 1941. Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 1994, the top song in the U.S. was “Here Comes the Hotstepper” by Ini Kamoze. (Eye-knee) The No. 1 movie was “Dumb and Dumber,” while “Politically Correct Bedtime Stories” by James Finn Garner topped the New York Times Bestsellers list. Weekly question The BBC is the world’s oldest national broadcaster. What was the first broadcast network in the United States?

Well, we were just hoping to kick back and do Bill Walton impressions and talk about shorty robes in this one -- plus mock the fact that our new Question Girl is AWOL. But, as they usually do, things went sideways. First, we had too many questions -- both e-mail and by phone. It's actually becoming work now, this podcast...And we had to fess up that Amandapants, our Question Girl winner, isn't 100 percent at fault for what is now "Question Girl Is Missing: Week Three." Turns out she was available a couple of Mondays ago but I was interviewing people for the podcast. Then I just forgot to send her questions or even get back in touch with her. Then Monday came and, well, the TVTM must go on. Our only recourse was to make fun of her. And, thankfully, so did her own extended family, via e-mail. A lot of other things happened as well. For instance, Question Boy (Joe Garofoli) took a real beating. I know, he normally does, but this time it was relentless (until a caller -- a cougar is the best guess -- called in and said she really, really liked him). We had a tech question, which required Benny, er, Manny, er, Bernie, to stop "manning the knobs" and help out. And then catastrophe struck. Question Boy got in a coughing fit and toppled over, revealing something quite distressing beneath his shorty robe: A lack of proper gardening. Once again, we go to great lengths to please the masses.
