Ever fantasise about quitting the 9-to-5 daily grind? We sit down with Ashok Samuel - an ex GIC Head of Private Equity Risk who actually took the plunge and retired early.

After doing the grind for over 30 years to climb the corporate ladder at his firm, Ashok realised the never-ending rat race just wasn't for him. Hear his open and honest story about hitting that wall, embracing a totally different lifestyle, and carefully mapping out life after exiting the finance world.

From wrestling with feelings of anger and denial, to redefining what "success" really means to him - Ashok doesn't hold back about the tough challenges and mindset shifts required to retire with purpose.

So how did Ashok and his wife smooth out their "remerging" as empty-nesters? And what surprising twists, unexpected joys and detours has he discovered beyond the office grind?

This refreshingly candid chat is a must-listen for anyone daydreaming about downshifting from the corporate hustle. Ashok's hard-earned insights may just inspire you to rethink your "one life to live" philosophy.

You might be surprised by what you hear!
