Is hybrid working still productive in 2025? What was once an emergency measure, a temporary solution borne out of necessity, has now evolved into the heartbeat of modern work culture. But the tides of time do not wait for us to catch up. As we stand at the threshold of a new era, we must ask ourselves—has hybrid working truly lived up to its promise? Has the fusion of home and office become a sustainable model, or has it fractured the very essence of what it means to be productive in the workplace? On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Issac Lim, Founder of Anthro Insights and Organisational Sociologist and Adrian Tan, HR Influencer to find out more.

Brave Dynamics: Authentic Leadership Reflections
Adrian Tan: Laid-Off To HR Founder, Writing “No More Bosses” & Solopreneur Work-Life Challenges - E492

Brave Dynamics: Authentic Leadership Reflections

Adrian Tan, Author of “No More Bosses” & Chief Marketing Strategist at Marketing Sumo, and Jeremy Au discussed: 1. Laid-Off To HR Founder: Adrian's career in HR began as he navigated the volatile job market of the early 2000s. After layoffs from tech companies during the dotcom bubble and another setback in 2003 with the SARS epidemic, he sought greater stability by starting his own recruitment business in 2004. Over the next 11 years, he grew this business through multiple economic cycles, worked hundred-hour weeks, and learned on the job. He reflected on a missed opportunity during a lucrative growth phase to scale his business, which he now views as a turning point that could have changed his career path. This built his resilience and industry insights, which later shaped his journey as an independent HR consultant. 2. Writing "No More Bosses": Adrian's new book, No More Bosses: The Journey to Sustainable Self-Employment, draws from his own pivot to freelancing. He received a LinkedIn message from a Penguin editor, which he initially believed to be a scam. He wrote the book to inspire mid-career professionals, especially in high-cost cities like Singapore, to explore independence. Real-life case studies include Nancy Lai who launched a D2C baby products business, showing that solopreneurship can be successful with strategic planning. 3. Solopreneur Work-Life Challenges: Adrian shared the ups and downs of self-employment, noting that while independence provides autonomy, it demands discipline and structure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he struggled with maintaining boundaries as he worked from his dining table, often working late into the evening. To maintain work-life balance, he set smartwatch reminders like “World's Greatest Dad” at 7pm to ensure he prioritized family time. However, he stressed that the goal in self-employment is not just income, but optimizing time and flexibility, which he values more than the financial stability offered by corporate roles. Jeremy and Adrian also talked about the importance of fully outlining chapters before beginning to write,  the role of perseverance in professional development, and how personal branding landed him multiple opportunities.

Singapore Literature reviewed by an Angmoh

An episode which was supposed to be about 'The Teenage Textbook' by Adrian Tan. But in fact it is more about what qualifies a book to be on the Top 50 SingLit list. In my view The Teenage Textbook certainly does not deserve a spot on the list. Listen to why I think so in this episode.

Shulin talks to award-winning author and litigator Adrian Tan about his journey in and outside of the legal profession. From seeing himself through law school with the royalties of his book, to starting his career as a “let's bash the other side”  lawyer, into becoming a “peace-maker” and how his ascent to be the future “King of Singapore” began. Adrian has experienced a whirlwind career. He's well known as the author of The Teenage Textbook, a book which was even made into a movie. He's presently the Head of IP And Tech, and a litigation partner with TSMP law.  As the newly elected President of the Law Society, he's keen to make lawyering great again!Believing that law is society's operating system and that lawyers are your best friends, Adrian's social media posts often go viral– all generously dosed with his unique brand of humour.

I had a great conversation with Adrian Tan and Greg Tan Tze Kai to start SG Assist. These are two guys that quit good-paying jobs to build SG Assist in response to a family medical problem that Adian Tan experienced. Greg comes from an Oil and Gas background while Adrian is a supply chain expert. Although neither of them had any medical experience, after long chats in the canteen while they were performing reserve military service in Singapore, they realized that the problems that Adrian was experiencing were likely pervasive. If you listen to Adrian and Greg talk, they are passionate about helping people help each other, their families, and their communities…and by employing technology to do so. SG Assist's vision “is to help save lives and build a culture of “kampong spirit" like the good ol' days, when everyone in the community looked out for one another. Via our mobile app, we aim to provide you with peace of mind through our swift assistance with community volunteers. Without prompt and proper medical aid, your loved ones may be at greater risk during a medical emergency. With our mobile app, we will help you locate a trained Kampong Hero to attend to your loved ones in your absence." This is a worthwhile vision, indeed.
