Mike Repole, entrepreneur: You’ve got to keep challenging

“They used to ask champions like Kobe [Bryant] and Tom Brady, ‘which championship is your favourite?’ - and they would say ‘the next one’. The next one, that's what they wanted. Life is a journey, and they say it's better than the destination… but I don't believe that there is a destination. Your destination is a hundred years from now when we're not here, so just keep going - you just keep pushing, keep challenging.” Hannah Mullane speaks to American entrepreneur Mike Repole. The 57-year-old New Yorker’s journey to the top of the US beverage industry had a very humble beginning at a supermarket in Queens, where he’d stack shelves as a teenager. In 1999, he co-founded Glaceau, the manufacturer behind Vitaminwater. The business grew rapidly, and just 8 years later, he made headlines when it was sold to Coca Cola in a deal worth over 4 billion US dollars. But despite the huge windfall, Repole opted against retiring. Instead he went on to launch new business ventures, partnering with some of the biggest names in sport, including Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady. As of 2026, Forbes has estimated his wealth at 2.5 billion US dollars. Thank you to the Business Daily team for their help in making this programme.

Sex Trafficking Lawsuits, Privacy Rights, and a Court That Can’t Keep Up

The nation is on a fast-paced slide toward full-on fascism, but what else is new? Leah, Kate, and Melissa recap Matt Gaetz’s sex trafficking civil suit, Katie Zacharia’s first—and last—week as White House Press Secretary, and the disturbing raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s home. Then, they dive into this week’s blockbuster Supreme Court arguments, including Suncor Energy Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, Beaird v. United States, and Salazar v. Paramount Global. They break down the fight over climate accountability, the role of federal sentencing guidelines, and whether a decades-old privacy law can keep up with modern streaming services. Plus, they discover just how out of touch some of the justices are when conversation keeps circling back to Blockbuster. Finally, Leah talks with journalist and author Alice Ollstein about her new book, Side Effects: How Abortion Bans Impact Everyone’s Health.

Mo Ibrahim, philanthropist: Africa must not trade rights for development

“While we see great development in infrastructure, in economic opportunities, and we see development in also the area of education and health. We see major deterioration in security, rule of law, and also deterioration on rights, space for civil society has been shrinking. That is worrying. There cannot be trade-off between economic development or infrastructure and people's rights or even people's safety.” Dingindaba Buyoya speaks to Mo Ibrahim, the billionaire philanthropist and founder of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, which measures how well African governments serve their people. Ibrahim warns that progress in infrastructure and economic opportunity across Africa cannot compensate for declining rights and worsening security. He challenges military leaders who promised to make their countries safer, and questions whether the economic gains they claim to have delivered under their rule can last. He also argues that African leaders are increasingly taking their cues from powerful figures elsewhere in the world, reflecting a wider global shift towards strongman politics.
