    Is it healthy to start a new job immediately after being laid off? That feeling of uncertainty you get when you’re being laid off from your 9-5 is daunting, isn't it? I feel you.

  • Should Happiness Come First Instead Of Career Growth? [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 23]

    Should happiness come first instead of career growth? According to a recent study, more than half of the workers in Singapore would accept a lesser-paying or lesser work role to be happier. Over 50% of people are willing to sacrifice career growth for their “happiness”! But isn't career growth a step towards a happiness filled future? Is taking a pay cut really going to make you happier or could it bring more unpredictable stress into your lives? Could it just be a temporary solution?

  • Is Your Age Really An Important Factor To Your Success? [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 22]

    Is Your Age Really An Important Factor To Your Success? Has someone ever told you you’re too old to succeed or it’s too late for you now? Well those people who told you that, could not be MORE WRONG. Look at Michelle Yeoh for instance, winning an Oscar at 60 YEARS OLD! She is proof that age does not limit your chances of success. The real question now is, is age really the problem? Or is it your ability?

  • Something Better Is Waiting For You Outside Of Singapore [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 19 with Zat]

    Should Singaporeans leave for greener pastures elsewhere? A lot of times when we’re going on with our daily 9-5 work, we feel underappreciated by colleagues, supervisors or managers. We put in so much time and effort to ensure a task is completed on time only to receive little to no feedback or worse, the cursed “noted with thanks”. At these moments of uncertainty, we often consider leaving the country in search of "greener pastures.” But the question is “When should I leave?”

  • Work From ANYWHERE Should Be The Standard! [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 18 with Zat]

    In light of recent events and the growing trend towards remote work, the question of whether work from home should be mandatory is a topic of much debate. While there are certainly benefits to remote work, such as increased flexibility and reduced commuting time, there are also potential downsides, such as decreased social interaction and difficulty separating work and home life.


    During the pandemic when most of us were required to work remotely, we’ve come to realize that we dont really need to be in the office 9 hours a day just to get work done. So why isnt work from home a mandatory thing? Why are some companies still putting so much emphasis on being in the office when so much time and money can be saved from allowing some employees to work from home.


    Who else but Zat, head of content at RICE media, can give us a scoop on how inefficient and outdated the way ‘traditional’ corporations run, and how can employers and leaders capitalize on remote work.

  • From Breadwinner to Caregiver: Life as a Stay-at-Home Dad [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 17 with Cliff]

    Stay-at-home fathers are becoming more common in modern society. Being a stay-at-home father can be a rewarding but challenging experience. Many stay-at-home fathers report feeling fulfilled in their caregiving role and value the opportunity to spend more time with their children. However, some also report feeling isolated or stigmatized by societal expectations of traditional gender roles.


    Following the recent discussion of gender roles and caregiving during Singapore’s budget 2023 to support families and encourage more births, stay-at-home & working moms were the main characters during this discussion. But what about stay-at-home fathers? What drove them to becoming a stay home dad and the struggles and sacrifices that come with it.


    With us today is Cliff, a stay-at-home father of 2! He’s been a stay-at-home dad for 4 YEARS and he’s here today to discuss all there is to it about being a stay-at-home father.

  • Build Your Brand and Reputation. It Actually Affects Your Outcome! [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 16]

    How many times have you heard phrases like “you do you” or “be yourself” or even “dont care about what other people think” ? I'm gonna guess and say quite often right? But can you really afford to not care about what others think and not build or maintain your reputation because you’re “being yourself”?


    What if your reputation has been tarnished? Is it possible to rebuild that reputation or would you have to start from ground zero again? On this episode of Wise and Shine, we dissect this obsession to be ourselves and come to a realization that maybe it is all a give and take.
