Summary
Sharing and grooming the next generation, learning from their unique perspectives, and helping them avoid many of the pitfalls I have had to go through myself the hard way.
The next lap for the society and economy is for folks who constantly learn and apply, not for those who use the same skills and knowledge they have amassed over the decades.
I look forward to sharing as much as I can learn from the young.

Q&A with Ming Song Ang
What kind of education or training did you find most useful in your field?
I was trained as an engineer, but here I am in a creative industry, the media and marketing industry. I find the logical nature of an engineer helps bring lots of value to the table, since these days its no longer enough to be creative, but how is the results of the creativity measured.
I find myself very systematic, when it comes to troubleshooting of any nature too. That is something different i bring to the table compared to most of my peers. Furthermore, we focus most of our marketing work towards technology companies, and my background is definitely a big reason why we moved that way.- Upvote | 0

What sacrifices have you had to make to succeed in this field, and do you feel the sacrifices were worth it?
As an entrepreneur, i had to make tonnes of sacrifice. The time, opportunity cost, and stress that comes along with it. The lessons learnt through this journey cannot be acquired in any other way, without going through the journey itself.
