What If the Path You Chose Isn't the One for You?

What happens when the path you've been following no longer feels like yours?

In this special episode, I bring together stories from three founders, including me, who changed direction.

One thought he would become a doctor before discovering a completely different path through business in Asia. Another realised that being an observer wasn't enough anymore and wanted to build something himself. And lastly, I share my story, when I arrived in Hong Kong without knowing what I would eventually do there before turning my skills into a business and starting my podcast Asian Business Owners.

Three different stories, but the same question:

What do you do when the life you imagined isn't the life you want anymore?
