In this episode of The Rare Percent Podcast, I sit down with Ken to talk about identity, perspective, and what happens when you step outside the world you know.

From growing up between cultures to studying and working across Singapore, Southeast Asia, and Denmark, Ken shares how traveling, engineering, and meeting people from completely different backgrounds reshaped the way he sees the world - and himself.

We dive into:

• How growing up between cultures shaped Ken’s sense of identity and belonging
• Why experiencing other countries can challenge the assumptions you don’t realize you have
• How travel can change the way we think about engineering, sustainability, and the people we design for
• What working with a truly international team taught him about collaboration and perspective
• Why you shouldn’t hustle just to hustle - and how to define success on your own terms
• How taking initiative can lead to opportunities that aren’t even posted
• Why, at the end of the day, people are just people

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re on the “right” path, felt intimidated by someone’s title or experience, or simply wanted to see the world a little differently - this episode is for you.
