Transformative Purpose with Aaron Pang
Hi, I'm Aaron Pang. Penguin author, speaker, and your podcast host, ex-Microsoft, Lalamove, and Korn Ferry.
In 2019, my 3-month-old son suffocated in my arms for five minutes. The same year, I was trolled on social media, cancelled during the social movement.
I started to spread positivity through my books, talks, and podcast.
My next book 'Shh...Give me a moment: The Superpower of Introverts' will be out in July 2025.
