    BUSINESS: Why Most People Will Lose To AI & How to Win — Matt Lamb | Ep. 89

    19/06/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    Can AI replace lawyers? Matt Lamb thinks it can replace far more of the legal process than most people realise.

    After building startup programmes inside major law firms, Matt left a secure legal career to launch Ether, an AI-powered platform designed to transform how legal services are delivered to startups.

    In this episode, Matt explains why founders are already using ChatGPT and Claude before speaking to lawyers, how AI is changing professional services, the reality of startup fundraising, hiring world-class developers, and why he risked everything with a newborn baby at home to build a business.

    16/06/2026 | 6 mins.
    Most people assume that earning a high income automatically leads to financial security.

    In reality, many high earners still feel stuck.

    In this episode, financial planner Lawrence Bearman explains why income alone isn't enough, and how successful professionals can turn earnings into long-term wealth.

    Whether you're deciding between investing or paying off your mortgage, wondering how much you need for retirement, or simply trying to make smarter financial decisions, this conversation offers a practical framework for thinking about money.

    Topics include:

    Why high earners still worry about money
    The hidden impact of tax on wealth creation
    Investing vs paying off your mortgage
    How to use cashflow modelling to plan your future
    Property, pensions and long-term financial planning
