Michelle opens up about:✅ The biggest shifts in nursing over the last 3 decades—and why some changes aren't for the better✅ Why nurses today are more burned out than ever before—and how to protect your career & mental health✅ The financial decisions that helped her retire early—even though she didn't start investing until later in life✅ The rise of travel nursing, career pivots, and nurse entrepreneurs—and how to find financial freedom outside the hospitalMichelle isn't just sharing her story—she's giving nurses a roadmap to longevity, financial stability, and a fulfilling career beyond the bedside. Whether you're a new nurse wondering about the future, a burned-out RN looking for a way out, or someone curious about investing and early retirement, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tips, and career-changing insights.

"What's the point if it's a fast platform, but I still have to go somewhere else? And the last thing is speed. Right now, especially in our region, it's a land grab. When we think about some of the fastest-growing economies in the world—Indonesia, for example, Vietnam, the Philippines—you have hundreds of millions of people here. What we see in every customer I speak to is interest in how they use our platform to move faster, to deploy AI. They don't want to have to build a foundation level of AI, integrating all those elements themselves. They want to deploy it faster. When you think about our history, we have 250 petabytes of data being accessed by 150,000 customers every single day. When you take that set, we had to get this right. We had to because we have thousands of engineers focused on building these platforms so our customers don't have to—so they can deploy innovation and create truly unique and differentiated customer journeys." - Sujith Abraham Fresh out of the studio, Sujith Abraham, Senior Vice President and General Manager, ASEAN at Salesforce, joins us to explore how Agentforce 2.0 is transforming enterprise AI.

Addressing AI trust and governance, he underscores data privacy and enterprise-grade AI security.

"People always ask us this question, what can I learn from that country? People ask us about this from the report especially when we're talking to policymakers, or what should I learn from Malaysia? What should I learn? The thing to learn is  to not learn  to replicate exactly.  But the thing to learn is sort of what are the principles behind what works for them. What are your comparative advantages, Every country needs to be asking that for themselves. So for Vietnam, comparative advantages are things like  proximity to China, and an ability at a geopolitical level to navigate between the U.S. and China.  They do this pretty delicately, given their history with both countries. There's an acquiescence by the major powers also to not force Vietnam to take sides. And, you know, and so it's a delicate balancing game that ASEAN always plays ..." - Gullnaz Baig Fresh out of the studio, Gullnaz Baig, executive director from the Angsana Council, shares her perspectives on the "Southeast Asia Outlook 2024-2034: Navigating the High Winds" report by Angsana Council, DBS and Bain & Co.
