In this episode, Kembla unfolds how its very own podcast host, Wai Yan aka The Man with a Luggage, has led his entrepreneurial journey this far. As the title says, he lives with just a luggage - calling the world his home. Having grown up in a poor family in Burma, he learned the meaning of financial freedom the hard way. When it comes to education, he has a very different perspective on the concept. Wai Yan dropped out of two universities from two different countries, and joined an EdTech startup in Burma which was incubated in Silicon Valley, when he was 18. Meantime, he lived across Southeast Asia and worked as a digital nomad. At the age of 19, he became the General Manager of Draper Startup House in Yangon - a global network of physical locations for entrepreneurs to work, visit, live and connect with an added layer of entrepreneurial education and access to venture capital. He then moved to Malaysia to cofound a smart vending machine company, namely, Vechnology a month after his 21st birthday. Given all these unconventional experiences, he is also an incoming Masters in FinTech student at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Wondering how Wai Yan has become who he is today? Tune in to learn more about him. We promise you wouldn't be disappointed.
