But before we dive into all the exciting content ahead, let me introduce myself properly.

My Story

My name is Wilson Chow, and my path has been anything but conventional. I started my professional life as a finance journalist, immersed in the world of economics, personal finance, and investment trends. Covering topics from fintech to energy and telecom, I had the privilege of interviewing thousands of companies and speaking with some of the brightest minds in business.

It was during this chapter that I discovered the transformative power of storytelling—the ability to turn complex financial data into something relatable and impactful. Storytelling became my tool for education, inspiration, and connection.

But deep down, I always knew I wanted to create something of my own. The dream of launching a business lingered in the back of my mind, though I often told myself I wasn’t ready. I believed I needed more experience, connections, and knowledge before taking the leap.

And then, life threw me a curveball.

A Bold Career Pivot

Most recently, I spent five years in the jewelry industry as Head of Business Development. A sharp departure from finance, right? But this pivot taught me invaluable lessons about stepping out of my comfort zone and how one career can prepare you for the next in unexpected ways.

In that role, I honed my skills in branding, marketing, and consumer engagement. I learned how to connect with people not just through products but through stories that resonate emotionally. This experience was a turning point—it clarified my purpose and inspired me to help others share their stories.
