This episode is a wake-up call for brands still fighting for attention in crowded inboxes.

Kate and Tobi sit down with Brian Pham, Managing Director of Litecard, to unpack how mobile wallets are quietly becoming one of the most powerful and underutilised channels in modern marketing.

Litecard helps brands and retailers communicate directly with customers through the mobile wallet - a space 4 out of 5 people globally use every single day. Less noise. Better experience. Smarter engagement.

Brian breaks down how Litecard:

• Unlocks true omnichannel engagement

• Delivers personalised, timely experiences

• Connects online to offline customer journeys

• Integrates seamlessly with platforms like Klaviyo, Dotdigital, Salesforce, D365, Shopify, Square and more

• Helps brands invest smarter as email, SMS, and paid channels become more expensive and AI reshapes the landscape

This isn’t hype. It’s practical, scalable, and already working.

💡 And yes - Cubes.Co proudly uses Litecard across our ecosystem. We back what works, and this works.

On this episode of Hear Me RoAR, Ronn Bechler joins Kate and Tobi for a masterclass in capital markets, boardrooms, and building businesses that last.Ronn is one of the quiet architects behind modern Australian investor relations.

Over a 30-year career, he advised boards and executive teams across private and public markets, spanning tax, corporate finance, M&A, capital markets, and growth strategy. Then he saw a gap no one else did.He pioneered corporatised investor relations consulting in Australia, broke a near-monopoly in shareholder data, and built Market Eye into the country’s largest IR consultancy and second-largest shareholder data business.

After 15 years of scale, he sold the business to Automic Group in 2022 and stepped into the role of Executive Director.After nearly three decades of 6–7 day weeks, Ronn made a rare move in February 2024 – he stepped back.

Today, he operates as a non-executive director at Kogan.com (ASX: KGN), Advisory Board Chairman at Argall, an active investor, and contributor across multiple not-for-profit organisations.

In this conversation, we unpack:

🛠️ How to build businesses that dominate niche markets

🧑‍💻 What boards really look for in founders and CEOs

🚀 The inflection point between growth, governance, and exit

🤝 Why stepping back can sometimes be the smartest strategic move
