The Art of Asking "Why?" with Theodora Lau

"Don't believe everything you see on LinkedIn. People see the top, but they don't see the work you put in. They don't see the unglamorous side of the story."What happens when a Chemical Engineer looks at the Banking system? They see leaking pipes that everyone else is trying to paint over.In this episode of Good Company, host Mike Wilson sits down with Theodora Lau; author, influencer, and self-proclaimed "troublemaker"; to strip away the LinkedIn glamour and get to the heart of what’s broken in financial services.Theo isn't afraid to ask the questions that make incumbents squirm. We dive into:The Silo Problem: Why do banks still treat loyal customers like strangers across different products?The Ethics of Debt: Why "Buy Now, Pay Later" is a symptom of a broken system, not a solution to the cost of living crisis.AI vs. Humanity: The specific moments where a bot should never replace a human voice (and why we need to slow down).But the most powerful moment comes when we go off-script. Theo opens up about the "un-Instagrammable" side of success, sharing a heartbreaking wake-up call from her son that changed her perspective on work-life balance forever.It’s a conversation about money, morals, and the radical power of "just being."Plus: A nostalgic outro track from The Carpenters. Good Company. Real conversations with interesting people.
