We dive into the school of hard knocks with a young entrepreneur who learned the ropes of financial independence through the heart-wrenching experience of his close family member’s business failure during the 2008 financial crisis.

This journey led to a high-stakes balancing act, juggling multiple side hustles while pursuing academic goals.

Amazingly, he managed to defy the odds by saving a remarkable 80% of their earnings to launch his business.

Edmund Chong, Founder, HustleVenture, shares about his journey, including how he built a net worth of $100k at the young age of 24.
