#27 Leong from Lifespan Education - The Role of Failure in Personal Growth, Importance of Experimentation, Concerns for the Future Generation

I am fortunate enough today to be joined by Leong, the founder of lifespan education which is an organisation dedicated to promoting the joy of learning.

A viral video of Leong popped up on my Tiktok FYP, where he says that his goal is for his kids to have an awesome life and that does not necessarily mean that he has to be an awesome dad for them to achieve that.

He touches on how he believes that the social media landscape today concerns him and how we can help to shape it into something different for the future generation, to be a positive place where likeminded people can connect with each other and support one another. After watching that video, I knew I had to get Leong as a guest on my podcast.

On this episode, we speak about the variety of career paths Leong has navigated through over the course of his life so far, the importance of human interaction, not forgetting your roots when chasing a goal, the importance of experimentation when young, the role of failure in personal growth, the pressures of academic performance, lifespan education, finding enjoyment in your work as well as many other topics.
