We’ve heard some remarkable stories on this podcast, but Alice Tsang’s is one of the most remarkable … and triumphant. That's because from the crucible of abject poverty that saw her sharing a tiny apartment with more than a dozen others, needing the quarter a day her uncle could spare that allowed her to eat lunch at high school, she gained an unlikely education that she’s put two use in a pair of successful careers – first as a successful fixed-income analyst on Wall Street and now as a college finance professor.   Warwick talks with Tsang this week about what her hardscrabble upbringing in Hong Kong taught her about what’s truly important in life … lessons she now aims to teach her students so they understand how to cope with and overcome the challenges they will inevitably face.   “We do not have the ability to be perfect,” she says. “But we can control how much effort we put into a better future for ourselves.”   For more information about Alice Tsang, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/alice-tsang-a3236190/   To explore Beyond the Crucible assets, including our free Life of Significance assessment, visit www.beyondthecrucible.com   Have a question or comment?
