At ST Podcasts, our new podcast show called Headstart On Record releases every first and third Monday of the month. Get a headstart in your personal finance and career.

Hosts Sue-Ann Tan and Tay Hong Yi will alternate to speak with guests on how to navigate jobs and finances in this daunting, complex world.

In this third episode titled - Should we play with FIRE? - is financial independence, retire early (Fire) for everyone? We speak with He Ruiming, co-founder of the Woke Salaryman, and DBS financial literacy expert Lorna Tan, if there are also other ways to sustainably achieve financial freedom and retire at leisure.

In our fourth episode titled - Beyond diversity, inclusion buzzwords: How to be more inclusive at work - we find out how employers and employees both have their part to play in making workplaces more inclusive in meaningful ways without patronising those who benefit, especially in diversity.
