In this powerful episode of Reinvention by Design, Karen Holland sits down with Jingjin Liu, former senior executive in the automobile industry turned serial entrepreneur, angel investor, and Co-Founder of the Elevate Group, to explore what it really takes to reinvent your life and career.

From leaving China at 15 to building a high-powered corporate career in Germany … to walking away and starting again as an entrepreneur, Jingjin’s story is a masterclass in identity, courage and intentional reinvention.

In a world shaped by AI disruption, career uncertainty and shifting definitions of success, this conversation goes beyond inspiration, it gives you practical insights to take action.

🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “nobody’s coming” is the mindset shift that changes everything
• How to build a career advantage from being different
• The importance of choosing the right environment to thrive
• Why most professionals don’t know their financial runway - and why it matters
• How to build powerful networks intentionally (even if you hate networking)
• The truth about self-doubt, even at the highest levels of success
• Why clarity - not confidence - is the first step to reinvention.

💡 This episode is for you if:

• You feel successful… but not fulfilled
• You’re thinking about what’s next in your career
• You want to build income, options and identity beyond a single role
• You’re navigating change, uncertainty or AI disruption.

It’s about building something more resilient, intentional and future-proof.
