On My Own Terms: Conversations with Unconventional Career Changers and Risk-Takers
John Lim has had an unconventional career by Singapore / Asian standards – with several career switches. He started his career in banking before co-founding a laser tag events company. After building the business from ground-up, growing the team to 20+ and running Singapore’s largest indoor laser tag center, he joined an early-stage IoT (Internet of Things) tech startup to lead business development across Southeast Asia. In 2019, he took a leap of faith to join the e-commerce industry, a seemingly unknown sector, until a few months later when Covid-19 pandemic brought the world to its knees. While John finds himself lucky to have ‘survived’ the career switches relatively unscathed, he has never forgotten how it feels like to be at the crossroads of your career and life. Now, he has started this podcast – to provide the resources and perspectives he wished he had – to help you make the most of your career to live your best life. Join him as he speaks with unconventional career changers and risk-takers, taps into their experiences and perspectives and discusses all things career. Together, they will provide you nuggets of wisdom, inspiration and actionable insights to start living life on your own terms.
