What an episode to unpack! I sit down with my friend, Li Chen, who changed his career trajectory from actuary to becoming a biostatistician. The turning point in his life took place during a profound experience, which made him see whole new outlook for his future! Listen in as we discuss:
• How you are not confined or restricted to your initial life choices
• It’s okay to be playful with life and try new things no matter what part of life you are at
• How to get the most out of life even when life throws you a lot of challenges
