I first connected with Kim online when we both started our coaching businesses several years ago.

Since then, a lot has changed for both of us, but one of us has continued with coaching while the other has made a drastic pivot into an entirely different arena.

Even though Kim was running a successful coaching business, she ultimately decided to stop coaching altogether to pursue another set of skills and passions.

Today, she is an award-winning food blogger and content creator, and is well known for her Tik Tok videos where she recreates the best food from Vancouver's restaurant scene and Vietnamese food from her childhood.

During the day, Kim happily works full-time in local government supporting the emergency and environmental needs of her community.

With all that beind said… I am delighted to share that episode 152 of The Thought Leader Club Podcast (featuring Kim) is now available on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• Why did Kim stop a coaching business and podcast that *was* working and signing clients?

• How Kim started and grew her food blog, Tik Tok account, and brand as a content creator

• The role that family and culture played in Kim's career trajectory and decisions

• Kim's honest thoughts on side hustling and quitting in the context of career; Everything that Kim has tried before

• And other fun conversations around learning to cook, cheese boards, and more!

Enjoy :)

When I first met Janice online in late 2020, I was instantly impressed with how she carries herself with confidence and poise. At the same time, I also admired the way she thinks about entrepreneurship as a young millennial.

I knew very quickly that I wanted to invite Janice to my podcast.

So, Janice was actually one of our first guests on the show (Previously known as The Side Hustle Club).

Some highlights from episode 25 of the podcast include:

• Janice's decision to dive straight into full-time entrepreneurship

• How to deal with people's assumptions and judgment about you and your success

• What it means to fully take ownership of your business success

Now, a few years later, I'm so excited to have Jancie back onto the show (now known as The Thought Leader Club) to unpack her journey since we last spoke on the podcast :)

Episode 151 of The Thought Leader Club Podcast (featuring Janice) is now available on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• Since episode 25... What has changed? What are the key differences between 2021 Janice vs 2023/2024 Janice?

• How Janice holds herself to such impeccable standards and operates with so much grace... Even when tough things in life happen

• Building a brand online; Separating your personal life from business

• Janice's honest views on "quitting"

• Being friends with other entrepreneurs; A chat on "competition"

Enjoy :)

About Janice:

Janice has always embraced unconventional approaches. With no formal schooling for the first 18 years of her life, she entered the National University of Singapore and graduated with first class honours, highest distinction. At the peak of her corporate career at an MNC, she quit her job to pursue her passion. Today, she is a digital business coach and social media strategist, and the founder of her own coaching consultancy.

Janice's core business coaching helps business owners, founders and entrepreneurs ditch lack of focus, get ultra strategic, and build a profitable business utilising social media as a strategic tool… without burning out, getting to innovate and be creative, and having fun along the way. Janice's clients are based internationally, include a collaborator with Netflix, digital entrepreneurs, and clients from top global financial institutions. Clients often work with Janice privately via 1:1 consulting, or in her signature yearly VIP membership, The Audacity where clients often experience next level results and breakthroughs in a short amount of time.

Working with Janice, you will have a results based business partner with a high personal touchpoint, and learn the exact step-by-step method and digital framework she used to go from earning low $4-figures a month, to creating a $6-figure business for multiple years consecutively. She believes that business can be simple, fun, and profitable… and with the right strategies, you can be, do and have it ALL. If you resonated with her background and working style, you can connect with her at IG: @janice.tee, where she is most active.

I first met Shubham at a local event discussing mental health for entrepreneurs. Shubham reached out to me after the event to ask me some questions about starting and growing a podcast, but the conversation then turned into me learning a lot more about Shubham's career journey.

In just the short span of 75 minutes, I learned about his story, his values, and how he chose the unconventional over what was perceived to be stable, traditional, and expected.

At that moment, I realized that I MUST invite Shubham onto The Thought Leader Club Podcast and have him share his story and other candid stories on failure, self-doubt, and paving your own path.

I am delighted to share that episode 150 of The Thought Leader Club Podcast (featuring Shubham) is now available on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• Shubham's unexpected journey from a traditional path to becoming a co-founder

• Candid stories of failure, uncertainty, and self-doubt

• How family, cultural, etc backgrounds played a role in Shubham's career decisions and views on success

• Making time for non-work interests and hobbies; Being a life-long learner

• Advice to those who are questioning their current career situation and are deciding whether to make some changes

Enjoy :)
