Episode 22: He Built Southeast Asia’s Biggest Digital Brands, Then Found a Deeper Definition of Success
Jason Lim has lived life in the fast lane, quite literally.
From leading social media at Netflix Southeast Asia and helping ONE Championship grow from zero to millions of followers, to co-founding Stratgeist, one of the region’s top digital agencies, he’s been at the center of Asia’s attention economy for over a decade.
But behind his adrenaline-filled life, from skydiving and scuba diving to scaling startups, lies a deeper story about mastering fear, learning self-awareness, and redefining what it means to win.
After a near-fatal car crash, Jason experienced crippling anxiety that forced him to rebuild his mental strength from the ground up. What began as survival became transformation, teaching him that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the mastery of it.
In this episode, we unpack:
· Why self-awareness is the real foundation of entrepreneurship
· How to stay calm in chaos, in business, and in life
· What it means to “build while falling off a cliff”
· How gratitude, not hustle, became Jason’s new metric of success
“Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s the mastery of it.”
🎧 Listen to this episode if you’ve ever felt like success alone wasn’t enough and wanted to find the calm within the climb.
