Yes, I had bad days. I'm not going to lie and say that I wake up with fire in my belly EVERY SINGLE DAY. 

Life isn't always about material pursuits. 

It's about your loved ones. 

The guest for this episode, Leza, had been through bankruptcy and emerged stronger to become the CEO of a beauty tech company that operates in more than 10 countries today. 

Having been through bankruptcy and now enjoying the success that she has, one of Leza's biggest realisations is that life is not all about your material gains. 

She also talked about how she built up a personal brand for herself that allowed her to gain access to many opportunities and even investors. 

Leza's story is truly inspirational and packed with many valuable insights, so be sure to tune in to hear more about it. 

When I first started solo episodes, I found it difficult to "free-flow" the recording. I over prepped for them and they ended up way too scripted for my liking. 

You are your own biggest enemy.

Do you have something you feel passionate for?

Why not start a community around it?

In this episode, I speak to Andee, who co-founded Kampung Collective, a Community for Community Builders across Asia. We spoke about how he felt like a "misfit" growing up in the Singapore system and how that actually played out in his subsequent roles. Andee also spoke about the power of communities and why more people should put their voices out there.

I picked up many interesting perspectives from Andee, notably his story about how he was a "misfit", yet it actually served him well in the end.

Andee is an inspiring example of how there are always alternative pathways to success, and the fact that we all just need to trust ourselves a little bit more.

Rest is underrated. These days, hustle is seemingly the hype, with entrepreneurs and content creators all propagating the "hustle culture". However, not getting enough rest is counterproductive, because you end up zoning out or dozing off during the day.

To be honest, I haven't always been the best communicator. Even now I'm still learning how to improve my communication skills. However, I'm definitely much better than before, and in this episode, I share some of the tips and techniques I picked up from my friends and through my personal experience.

Establishing connections is way more important than simply expanding your network.

Just hear Sam talk about how his personal branding and connections have helped him in his career. Sam also brought up a very interesting perspective regarding the search for your own vehicle to spread your own message. It was a truly enjoyable episode that I took away many insights from.

"Personal growth is like a drug, once you get a taste of it, you find it hard to kick the habit". 

Sometimes, things happen to us that are totally out of control. Since life is so unpredictable, why don't we just flow along with it?
