#TheLearningPodcast JJ Tham

GRATEFUL for the opportunity to have this podcast with Mr Ken Honda - big thanks to  @arigatoinvestor  for making this happen!

I've always been fascinated by the power of good writing - Mr Honda gives us a glimpse into how he does it - how does he sell millions of wildly successful books? It's much simpler than I thought it would be...

Hope this podcast is somehow helpful to anyone out there! :)

Feeling immensely GRATEFUL to have had the opportunity to have a podcast with the GOAT of investing - Adam Khoo. Most people know him for his investing/finance content, I only recently discovered he was very involved in the field of self-improvement/NLP education space 10-15 years ago.

Some of his books I'd recommend would be:
- Master Your Mind - Design Your Destiny
- Secrets of Building Multi-Million Dollar Businesses
- Bringing Up Money Smart Kids

BIG THANKS to  @arigatoinvestor  (Chloe) for making this opportunity possible!!

Must admit I'm rusty to podcasting - always a learning journey to be better :)

BIG THANKS to Chloe for coming on this podcast! If you're in Singapore you'd probably have seen her YouTube ads from The Next Level - her journey to become what she's doing is pretty inspiring! From learning english as a teenager, hosting webinars with hundreds of people teaching options trading, to building her own private community of investors - her career journey is definitely much exciting than mine haha.

Hope this brings value to anyone out there in terms of entrepreneurship, self-development and never-ending self-improvement.

Big thanks to Andy for agreeing to start this informal podcast where we talk about anything and everything in our lives; self-improvement, investing, relationship, career tips etc. 

Here's 6 things we collectively wish we knew at 20!   Hope its somehow useful to someone out there! :)

What is worth spending your entire life savings on?

For epic entrepreneurs like Damian Chow, it was his company

Had the  privilege to catch-up with him over a podcast session, where he shares his entrepreneurship journey in starting several businesses, one of which was even acquired/sold off, even eventually creating The Gym Pod, Singapore's first 24 hours automated container smart gym which gives you an undisturbed and private workout at any time of your choosing.

On a separate note, I've never seen any founders like him who managed to convince his employees to work more than a month without any pay; a true testament to exceptional EQ abilities - many crazy entrepreneurial stories in this podcast - WORTH A LISTEN!

Damn I'm inspired, BACK TO WORK!

Questions are from a study by psychologist Arthur Aron (and others) that explores if intimacy between 2 strangers can be accelerated by having them ask each other a specific series of questions. There are a total of 36 questions in the study - this podcast only covers 12 out of the 36 questions. There may be a part II and III to this podcast series. Big thanks to Hazel for doing this podcast session with me :)
