Can You Start a Business with Just $500? (w Eugene Cheng)

What does it really take to juggle a growing business, two kids, and a family budget all at once? In this episode, we sit down with Beatrice Liu, founder of Oriental Remedies Group, who went from a decade in corporate to launching her own business three months into her pregnancy.

Beatrice gets real about building financial safety nets early, why she's never been afraid to dial back her lifestyle expectations, and how her entrepreneurial mindset actually makes her a sharper money manager at home.

The conversation also digs into why Gen Z's hustle culture might be onto something, and the underrated link between investing and beating inflation. As Beatrice puts it, "dare to try when the risk is low and it's younger — I'm sure these skills will really help them in the long term."

Managing Family Finances as a Mompreneur with Beatrice, Liu, Oriental Remedies Group

What if the thing that lights you up is actually the key to your career? In this episode, we sit down with Puay San, co-founder of Keshet Agritech, who spent 20 years in banking before making a bold pivot into the world of food and agriculture. She shares why she doesn't see her banking career as a detour but as the foundation that led her to her true purpose.

We get into the "food coma" problem nobody talks about, why money can't buy a sack of rice, and how finding your purpose is less about looking outward and more about tuning into yourself.

"If the job is not out there, create it for yourself."

What lights you up? with Oh Puay San, Co-founder, Keshet Agritech

What does it actually take to go from zero to winning against the big guys? Christina Tan, founder of Sales Symphony, is back with Junus to share the raw, real lessons she's picked up across decades in sales. She gets into why SME salespeople have a secret edge over their MNC counterparts, how doing everything yourself is actually the best training ground, and why cross-industry thinking might be your biggest untapped advantage.

She also unpacks Kaizen, the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement, and how dedicating just 10 minutes a day to asking "how can I do this better?" can completely change the way you work and grow.

"2000 brains, 20,000 brains is definitely more powerful than a group of management in the meeting room."
