Advice from Andy Zain: Beware of the AI Hype

In this wild climate of global chaos and economic ups and downs, which industry truly deserves our time if we want to secure wealth and grow our savings? Andy Zain offered a surprisingly simple piece of advice: follow where the money flows. I have to admit, I was caught off guard. I expected the usual ‘invest in AI’ speech that most advisors give.

But he kept it real. AI is just a tool, not an industry. So let’s not get blinded by shiny buzzwords. Instead, he encouraged us to look at how governments are allocating their budgets. That’s where you’ll find the real action.

Honestly, that makes a lot of sense. Take Indonesia, for example. The Free Nutritious Meals Program isn’t just about handing out food. It’s about delivering high-quality meals, which means local farms and food suppliers need to step up.

Wow! A light bulb moment for me. With this kind of government support, local food industries and hardworking farmers are set to get a serious boost. That realization got me thinking about how to reshuffle my portfolio.

Andy Zain is one of the sharpest entrepreneurs I know back in my Sony Music days. His insights are always on point, and for me, they’re worth listening to every single time. So when I heard he was coming to Singapore to meet with young professionals, I cleared my calendar.

Huge thanks to the Indonesian Professionals Association in Singapore for organizing the event, and a special shout-out to Leo & Felix for hosting the event!
