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

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

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
