1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: This is what the flux. I'm Bratt and I'm justin

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: and it's Wednesday, the twenty six to February Josie Boy

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Domino's Pizza has recorded its first half year loss in

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: more than twenty years after a rough six months.

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: But don't panic, my friend. It's not the Aussie demand

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: for mega meat lovers, but the European and Japanese demands.

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: See the biggest cost came from shutting down one hundred

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: and seventy two stores because dem Europeans just aren't nibbling

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: on the meat lovers.

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Don't mess with the meat lovers. Man. Did you know

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: sixty six percent of Australians do not even know the

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: first thing about their credit score? Wow? And it's one

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,040

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: Three riveting stories today Jusi boy, let's do it for

21
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: our first wise tech has seen the chairs plunge more

22
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: than twenty four percent after four of its independent board

23
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: members stepped down.

24
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: This week, get the Popcorn, aub Man, The wise Tech

25
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: soap opera has another season, So tell me more well so.

26
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: Wise Tech Global is a logistics software company founded in

27
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. It does all those complicated logistics activities

28
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: like help with supply chain management, customs clearance, forwarding services.

29
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: And juzzy boy. Wis Tech has been a bit of

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: an ASX darling. Its share price has jumped more than

31
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: twenty times since its IPO.

32
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Nowbman for context. Wise TeX's founder, Richard White has been

33
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: in the spotlight over the past few years.

34
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 2: Yep. He's been accused of bullying as well as inappropriate

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: conduct at work.

36
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: And as a result, he stepped down a CEO of

37
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: wise Tech in October last year and shifted into a

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: consulting role.

39
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: But now four of weis Tech's independent directors have stepped

40
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: down from the board.

41
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: They couldn't land on an agreement of what the founder's ongoing.

42
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: Role would be, or, as they diplomatically put it, they

43
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: had intractable differences.

44
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: And next minute, y sex share price dropped more than

45
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: twenty four percent or ten billion dollars in market value.

46
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: The challenge is that although the founder isn't technically the

47
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: CEO anymore, he's on the board and still owns nearly

48
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: thirty nine percent of the company.

49
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Interesting, so what is the key learning here?

50
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: Founder control can be a double edged sword for publicly

51
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: listed companies.

52
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: On the one hand, founders often bring visionary leadership and

53
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: can motivate employees.

54
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: As well as lead the strategic direction of the company

55
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: based on their wealth of experience.

56
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: And they man. We've seen this particularly in the tech industry,

57
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: with founder led companies like Amazon and Ali Barber until recently,

58
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: and Meta still.

59
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: But when founders maintain substantial control, it can sometimes undermine

60
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: corporate governance and.

61
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Create conflicts of interest when the founder goes roke.

62
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: Remember when Elon Musk tweeted he was considering taking Tesla

63
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: private at four hundred and twenty dollars per share, the

64
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: price being a reference to smoking marijuana, and.

65
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: This led to significant stock volatility, Musk stepping down as

66
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: chairman and paying a twenty million dollar five.

67
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: But clearly there are two camps here. Some investors are

68
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: celebrating that weisstech talent has won at the expense of

69
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: corporate governance, so to speak, while.

70
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Other investors are clearly concerned by the look of the

71
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: share price Plumbting.

72
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: For our second story, Nike has announced a new collaboration

73
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: with Kim Kardashian's Skims brand after struggling with declining sales.

74
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: Nike losing relevance must be their biggest fear. Be man,

75
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: so quite unfamiliar feeling, Tell me more.

76
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: Well, Jazi boite. Nike is the sportswear brand that was

77
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: founded back in nineteen sixty four under the name of

78
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: Blue Ribbon Sport.

79
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: It's going to become the most recognizable sportswear brand in

80
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: the world with its iconic swoosh.

81
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: But the Swish has been in struggle street lately and

82
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: sales dropped eight percent in the past quarter.

83
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: And it shares have lost twenty five percent of their

84
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: value over the past year after struggling to retain market

85
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: share against other sportwear brands like Hokker and On.

86
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: But now enter the savior please, or at least what

87
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: Nike is hoping to be the savior.

88
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian and her activewear brand Skims YEP.

89
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: Nike has announced a new Nike skims collection that will

90
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: target women with activewear, footwear and accessories.

91
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Q Nike purists dying in their air axes.

92
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: But there is a clear goal here to help Nike

93
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: compete against brands like Lulu, Lemon, and Alo.

94
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: And b Man. This is Nike's first collab with an

95
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: outside company to create a new brand together.

96
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: As opposed to acquisition or partnering with athletes like Michael Jordan.

97
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: So what is the key learning here?

98
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: Strategic partnerships can be the cheat code to a brand's revitalization.

99
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Now, be Man, we know that Nike's no stranger to innovation.

100
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: It's mastered the art of staying relevant.

101
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: It's very true. It started specializing in sports, but it's

102
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: now part of music and fashion and street culture.

103
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: Think shoe colabs with Travis Scott limited Edition, Sneaky collabs

104
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: with condugas On, and cult followings for its nigg SB.

105
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: Brand Bechase Boid. Lately, it's been losing market share left,

106
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: right and center.

107
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: And be Man in particular in the activewear market, which

108
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: is worth around four hundred and twelve billion US dollars

109
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty.

110
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Four and growing at nearly six percent per year according

111
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: to Global market insights.

112
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: So be man by partnering with Kim Kardashin's brand, Now

113
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: he's not just selling legging. Now they're buying influence, cultural capital,

114
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: and access to Kimmy Kay's three hundred and sixty four

115
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: million Instagram followers. For our third and final story, by Bit,

116
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: the world's second largest crypto exchange, has been hacked for

117
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: one and a half billion US dollars, making it the

118
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: largest crypto heist in history. Oceans eleven stepping up to

119
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: their game, tell me more so, biby. It was founded

120
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen, and it's going to become the

121
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 1: second largest crypto exchange in the world by trading volume.

122
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: We're talking over sixty million users worldwide buying bitcoins and

123
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: ethereum and meme coins.

124
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: Making millions and losing millions as well.

125
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: But now it's not just the traders crying into their keyboards,

126
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: it's by bit itself.

127
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bibit's sheepishly announced that it was hacked with more

128
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: than one and a half billion US dollars stolen from

129
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: their account and.

130
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: It was the biggest crypto theft in history.

131
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: And they meant, how did this highst happen? I'm imagining

132
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Danny Ocean dropping into the crypto bank safe. Not quite.

133
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: It happened during a routine transfer from their offline cold

134
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: wallet to a warm wallet, and no surprises here. The

135
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 2: price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies dropped more than three percent.

136
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: So what is the key leny here?

137
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: The warmer the wallet, the more vulnerable it becomes.

138
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: In the world of cryptocurrency, wallets are classified into three

139
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: main categories. You've got your hot wallets, your warm wallets,

140
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: and your cold wallets.

141
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: Cold wallets are offline storage solutions, super secure and safe

142
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: from online hacking.

143
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: On the you've got warm wallet. These are the hybrid

144
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: between cold and hot water.

145
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: They're connected to the Internet, but only temporarily or for

146
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: specific transaction.

147
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: And in Bibit's case, this hack occurred when the funds

148
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: will move from a cold wallet to a warm wallet,

149
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: so it clearly is still a risky.

150
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: And finally, we've got the hot wallets. These are the

151
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: wallets fully connected to the Internet and most vulnerable to hacking.

152
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: And if you're invested on platforms like coin base or binance,

153
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: you've got a smoking hot wallet.

154
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: They're convenient, but the easiest targets for cyber attack.

155
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: And that's part of the reason why Crypto exchanged coinbase

156
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: or a share price drop eight percent after this by

157
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: bit hacking News.

158
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: Because each hack reminds investors of the risks associated with

159
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: digital assets.

160
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: Pluckam. Your credit score can move every single month based
