  • Extraverted jock-gamer turned engineer-consultant Brian Yang - SIWIKE Podcast BY-001

    Brian is a senior consultant at Deloitte and is actively working on self-improvement and considering a career in life coaching.

    He had a background in gaming and found success in subjects that interested him while growing up, but struggled with subjects he didn't enjoy. In university, he formed a study group with classmates where they would work together and communicate on projects, homework and discussions instead of traditional study methods which didn't work for him.

    He attempted to start a company, but it was not successful and eventually went through a period of depression which he overcame by engaging in gaming and finding a fresh start.
