    • 7 Ways I Use ChatGPT as a Founder [AI FOR ENTREPRENEURS]
      Feb 18 2026

      ChatGPT won’t run your business for you but used well, it can save you hours and help you think more clearly as a founder.


      In this episode of Asian Business Owners, I share 7 concrete ways I use ChatGPT in my day-to-day as a founder to reduce mental load, save time and make better decisions.


      Spoiler alert: there's no magic prompts, no overnight success. I share real use cases from my work.


      You’ll hear how I use ChatGPT for:

      • generating content ideas with context, not generic prompts
      • organising my thinking with one thread per topic
      • translating content accurately
      • refining strategy and turning ideas into next steps
      • preparing quotations and pricing with more confidence
      • improving podcast metadata
      • getting an external perspective when things feel stuck

    • QUICK WINS: How to Prioritise When Everything Feels Urgent
      Feb 16 2026

      Your to-do list keeps growing and everything feels urgent.

      You end each day frustrated, thinking about all the things you haven't done.


      In this Quick Wins episode, I share 3 simple prioritisation rules for founders who feel overwhelmed, reactive and stuck in constant urgency. When everything feels like a priority, nothing really is.


      What this episode covers:

      • Why urgent doesn’t always mean important
      • How to identify tasks that truly move the needle
      • Choosing one or two real priorities per day
      • Protecting thinking and strategy time

    • From Burnout to Building a Wellness Company: Jasmine’s Founder Journey [CORPORATE WELLBEING]
      Feb 11 2026

      Burnout almost forced her to stop but it turned out to become the turning point of her life.


      In this episode of Asian Business Owners, I sit down with Jasmine Liu, a former banker who experienced burnout in 2017 while working in the fast-paced banking world in Hong Kong.

      What followed was not just a career change but a complete shift in perspective.


      After a transformative trip to Bhutan, Jasmine began questioning the corporate lifestyle she once embraced. She eventually founded Maestro Wellness, a B2B platform focused on improving corporate wellbeing and launched the Build Well, Live Well Summit to help organisations rethink performance, health and longevity.


      We talk about:

      • What burnout really feels like behind closed doors
      • Why high performers often ignore early warning signs
      • Transitioning from corporate banking to entrepreneurship
      • Building a wellness business from scratch
      • Launching a B2B platform
      • Redefining ambition and long-term success
