040: Dai Wai Chin Feman on optionality as a career system, business development force multipliers, and the career benefits of shaping litigation funding policy
Dai Wei Chin Feman is Managing Director and Corporate Counsel at Parabellum Capital, a litigation funder. This conversation gets practical in breaking down the system Dai Wai has built for career success: a diversified portfolio of relationships, skills, and value-creation mechanisms.
Business development creates differentiation when technical skills are commoditized.
Optionality multiplies this by developing multiple career paths simultaneously.
Affinity networks become firm-wide value platforms, not just personal networking.
Deliberate generosity treats relationships like portfolio diversification - invest broadly since you can't predict which connections matter.
Policy expertise becomes a defensive moat in niche industries.
Progress from "say yes" to strategic "no" to protect your systems while preserving ability to seize high-value opportunities.
Daily habits (20-minute social support + real-time alerts) create information arbitrage at scale.
Raw talent isn't sufficient. These strategies build transferable assets that maintain value across market conditions.
