What if a job most people wouldn’t think twice about became a seven-figure business? Zames Chew, Co-Founder of Repair.sg, comes into the studio to share how hands-on trade skills, not pitch decks, became his biggest competitive edge. From learning repairs on the ground to building a culture of trust, he is removing the stigma around blue-collar trades one customer at a time. We also go deep on why he once felt embarrassed to tell his peers about the business, and why upskilling himself was such a crucial part of his success.

We get Singapore’s favourite funnyman, comedian Rishi Budhrani as a guest host on this episode! You’ll be surprised where we go, as we start with 2 everyday news topics, but end up going deep into what it means to lead a life of meaning. In the first topic, Singapore’s plastic bag charge has raised millions of dollars, but how supermarket chains use the proceeds is drawing scrutiny after they all recently reported the numbers. Does Singapore really need a plastic bag charge? We also dissect a recent workplace survey showing how Singapore workers have one of the lowest happiness levels in the region. Why so serious?

Mark Tan of Rice Media joins us in the YLB studio to debate retrenchment benefits, after SMS Koh Poh Koon defended keeping retrenchment payouts non-mandatory, while WP’s Pritam Singh suggested differentiated rules for bigger firms. We also cross the line to talk about Amos Yee’s letter to the Singapore government to oppose his impending deportation back to Singapore, and public reactions to his possible return. Should we want him back?
