After giving birth, they decided to move back to Australia as they believe it would be a more suitable place for their child to grow up. A few years later, Kim's husband got a job offer in Canada.

Though disappointed with the situation, Kim realized that this was actually a blessing in disguise as life would be harder if ever they did go to Canada in the midst of a pandemic.

They are excuses out of fear.” David Tian comes from a very academic background with both parents and sister with PhDs. For him, higher education was natural and leaving it was unthinkable. Despite these obstacles, David made the leap. In this episode of Asians Redefining Their Success, we talk about how to figure out what you’re meant to do on this earth, the turning point for him where failure was a blessing, and how to make sure that your next career isn’t a fleeting interest.We also talk about the distinction between parents wanting the good life for us versus the best life, how it feels to grow up as an Asian American in society, and exploring the entrepreneurship route with side hustles.

During this episode, Adrian Weatherill tells us about his 12 years in the Police Service as a Police Investigator. He talks very honestly about his challenges and the catalysts for change, his fears and what held him back from making the move earlier. Adrian made an incredibly brave (some of his closest family would say foolish) decision to leave the job with no job to go to, no qualifications and no idea what he wanted to do. Now more than 2 years down the line, he has never been happier and more fulfilled teaching English as a second language in South America! Adrian's story is both inspirational and motivational and I know you're going to love it.

Maternity leave, midwives, and Mutterpass - we touch on it all. We also learn that it's fruitless to search for a baby shower card in Germany, where people might envision infants raining down on you in a tub, and we examine how apartment living can force anyone to be a minimalist, even in preparation for big things like starting a family.

The Business Method Podcast: High-Performance & Entrepreneurship
Today listeners, we have Shayna Oliveria the founder of EspressoEnglish on the show. Shayna went from teaching English abroad to creating a full-on digital business that kept her living overseas without being limited by annual English teaching contracts. She started this business with a laptop, $1500 USD and has continued to grow the business over time into what it is today. Espresso English sells info products teaching English as a second language online. Today, we are going to talk about Shayna's email marketing strategy, content production, hitting a glass ceiling in business, and pre-selling info products.
