Catch Your Purpose with Aaron Pang (改變日記)
In 2019, I had a personal life crisis. I was stuck with negative emotions and felt purposeless. I started writing daily and interviewing CEOs, thought leaders and athletes about how they found strengths in dark times. On this channel, I share my journey of how I changed my career and life. At age 35, I had no experience in writing, speaking, podcasting and building community. You’re never too old to do what you love. I hope these conversations will inspire you the same way it did for me. Thank you for listening. Aaron
