Why Not? The Podcast

Embracing the unknown doesn't just require one's courage, grit and determination, but also the support of other people who really matter - especially the one who is willing to take the risks and reap the rewards by your side. For the Season 1 Finale of our podcast, I am having a conversation unlike any other with my best friend, life partner, husband, not to mention the sound engineer for this podcast, Emmanuel Ombilod. Join us as we reflect on our unconventional journeys embracing our many 'Why Nots' - from having our start in different countries in Southeast Asia, what led us to each other in Thailand, the amazing decade we've had growing our personal and professional lives in Singapore and a glimpse of the next big adventure we are taking on together as we move to Toronto, Canada. All it takes is one question to set your dreams on fire!
