Curious Insights

We don’t talk about purpose enough. So let’s start: what’s your purpose?

If you want to answer, my email address is here. My answer is this site.

Story

My story is, in a word, unorthodox. I like it that way.

Since I was 6 years old I’ve been an entrepreneur and since I was 16 I’ve been vigorously training myself as a change agent.

I’ve come to discover that I’m deeply drawn to the space between social change and personal change. It’s my playground. And I’ve learned that I’m driven by two primary forces: curiosity and altruism.

Long-term, I will move into venture philanthropy to strategically scale social innovations and social enterprises, especially in the area of personal growth.

Mission

I have one mission–to do as much good as humanly possible–but I wear multiple hats to attempt it: change agent, social entrepreneur, social psychologist, philosopher, ethicist, scientist, and strategist. This is a function of my polymath “virus”, meaning I must immerse myself in both breadth and depth. It will admittedly take me many more years to serve in each role well.

I believe self-actualization is a fundamental right. We need to change society so it becomes possible for everyone.

Currently

I base myself out of Singapore and Austin, Texas and am open to new opportunities that deeply fit my character.

I’m currently working on a new science-based personal growth social enterprise called Self Spark, building a sustainable fish farm social enterprise in Singapore, helping Project Polymath create a new type of university to help catalyze a 21st Century Renaissance, and doing emotional intelligence (EQ)-based coaching with an instrument that predicts 54% of life success factors.

I also consult for Singaporean social enterprises, speak at local or regional events, write on occasion, teach, research, and volunteer. I spend a great deal of my time on personal growth and learning.
