Are we raising resilient children - or protecting them from the very challenges that would make them strong?

What if the greatest gift we can give a child isn’t safety… but preparation?

In this powerful episode of The Power Within, Keith Power sits down with Sebastian Bates, founder of the Warrior Academy, to explore how courage, discipline, and emotional intelligence can be developed from an early age - and why “black belt character” matters more than any title or trophy.

Sebastian shares his deeply personal journey - from being bullied as a child to surviving a life-altering base-jumping accident that left him paralysed. He reveals how resilience isn’t inherited - it’s built. Through community, language, leadership opportunities, and daily discomfort, children can develop the mindset to handle pressure, setbacks, and uncertainty.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The 3 C’s of child development: Confidence, Conduct, Concentration
• How martial arts builds emotional regulation and discipline
• Why early leadership roles (even for 4-year-olds) build voice and presence
• Practical tools to help children manage exam stress without overprotection
• ADHD as a creative strength in entrepreneurship

We also explore Sebastian’s Bates Foundation and its global impact - combining character development with real-world service, delivering over a million meals annually to vulnerable children.

This is a masterclass in parenting, leadership, resilience, and raising courageous humans in a fragile world.

If you care about child development, mental strength, emotional resilience, martial arts, parenting under pressure, and building confident young leaders, this conversation is essential.

Pressure doesn’t create leadership - it exposes it.

When markets swing, certainty evaporates, and emotion runs hot, trust is either strengthened or destroyed.

In this episode of The Power Within, Keith Power sits down with Geoff Howie, Market Strategist for Equities and Fixed Income at the Singapore Exchange (SGX), to explore what real leadership looks like when volatility is the norm, not the exception.

Geoff takes us inside the mechanics of calm decision-making in financial markets and high-stakes environments. From treating volatility as a feature rather than a surprise, to using systematic investment processes like dollar-cost averaging to remove emotion, he explains how discipline and clarity protect credibility when information is incomplete.

We unpack:

• Leadership under pressure in uncertain markets
• Communicating risk without creating panic
• Why tone is a strategic leadership lever
• Framing mistakes and leading course corrections
• Building investor trust through transparency
• Dividend discipline and long-term value creation
• How curiosity fuels modern leadership in a digital, API-driven economy

Geoff shares powerful insights from the COVID era, balance sheet agility, and how mid-cap companies emulate blue-chip frameworks to create sustainable value. He also reveals the daily craft behind credibility at scale, from scanning high-quality information sources to translating complex macro drivers into language investors and executives actually understand.

One of the biggest lessons?

People remember how you made them feel far longer than any chart or data point. Empathy, restraint, and clarity are not “soft skills” they are performance skills.

If you care about leadership in volatile markets, executive communication, investor confidence, and building trust when the stakes are high, this episode delivers practical tools you can apply immediately.
