EPISODE SUMMARY
In China, it is hard to have a work-life balance. It is much more work-life integration. It is quite a blurry line. Many people identify themselves with their job and seem to be living an unfulfilled life. This is a heavy topic I know, but it is a message that needs to be heard. Like Peter Drucker says: it is not about living a successful life, but living a valuable life.
To discuss this topic, we brought in an Entrepreneur Lifestyle coach with years of experience working with both Western and Chinese professionals.
Today’s episode is all about creating awareness on cultural differences and understandings on living a fulfilled life.
For this episode, we spoke with Ben Ivey, founder of Entrepreneur Lifestyle, Speaker at many stages including TedX Shanghai in Mandarin. Like many others his passion came from pain. And that pain created an unstoppable passion to help others grow. - We hope you’ll enjoy - Let’s tune in!
