The Surprising Question That Could Make or Break Your Next Big Opportunity
About five years ago, I got a call that should have felt like a dream. A tech startup in Singapore wanted me to head up their branding for the Asia-Pacific region.

Everyone around me was congratulating me before I’d even decided. My wife was supportive but quiet, watching me process it all. And I kept thinking: why doesn’t this feel as good as it should?
