A podcast every Asian should’ve had growing up, and probably still needs.

Di’s career sounds like a startup fairytale—she’s worked at four billion-dollar companies (Zhihu, KEEP, Airbnb, and Zoomcar) before they hit it big. But her real superpower? Defying expectations.
In this episode, we explore:
- How she escaped the ”study-or-fail” pressure of her upbringing in China
- Why she turned down a traditional career path (and her parents’ approval) for startups
- The cultural comparisons of working in China, Singapore, and Japan, and the work habits she had to unlearn
- Why she now values solo mountain hikes as much as professional wins
- Her radical definition of success: freedom, clarity, and the power to say ”no”
No MBA, no master’s degree, just guts, curiosity, and a refusal to play it safe. Whether you’re building a startup, craving a career change, or just love underdog stories, Di’s journey will make you rethink the ”right” way to succeed.
