<p>Most career advice is a lie. In this raw solo episode of the BRAVE Southeast Asia Tech Podcast, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyau/" target="_blank">Jeremy Au</a> breaks down why self-help advice from successful business leaders is often self-serving, and what young founders, operators, and professionals across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia should actually pay attention to.</p> <p>Jeremy shares the hard-won lessons that schools and LinkedIn influencers will not teach you: the brutal tradeoffs hidden behind every "I wake up at 5am" story, why you must own your power without shame, and the dangerous trap of choosing your career outside-in instead of inside-out. He opens up about why he walked away from Bain &amp; Company after two years and felt like a loser, only to learn a decade later that even the partners who "made it" wished they had taken the exit.</p> <p>You will also hear why being a small fish in a big pond is not a failure (and being a big fish in a small pond is not the goal), why sacrificing your health for your career is the dumbest tradeoff a young professional can make, and how choosing your own pain is the secret to a sustainable career.</p> <p>Watch, listen or read the full insight at <a href="https://www.bravesea.com/blog/choosing-your-career-path" target="_blank">https://www.bravesea.com/blog/choosing-your-career-path</a></p> <p>Get transcripts, startup resources &amp; community discussions at<a href="https://www.bravesea.com/" target="_blank"> https://www.bravesea.com</a></p> <p>WhatsApp:<a href="https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e" target="_blank"> https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e</a></p> <p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau" target="_blank"> https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau</a></p> <p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz</a></p> <p>Twitter X :<a href="https://x.com/jeremyau" target="_blank"> https://x.com/jeremyau</a></p> <p>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea</a></p> <p>English:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4TnqkaWpTT181lMA8xNu0T" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyAu?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/brave-southeast-asia-tech-singapore-indonesia-vietnam/id1506890464" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p>Bahasa Indonesia:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2Vs8t6qPo0eFb4o6zOmiVZ" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmSAfC8oZMQ&amp;list=PLl9u6ECOP8_6DexuTNkCpmTwKDhRTKGcZ" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brave-teknologi-asia-tenggara-singapura-indonesia-vietnam-filipina-thailand-malaysia-perusahaan-rintisan-pendiri-dan/id1729433475" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p>Chinese:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/20AGbzHhzFDWyRTbHTVDJR" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfPbq-Znr90&amp;list=PLl9u6ECOP8_67PEJ85ml-Pa6O8igaixdS" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/brave-chinese-%E4%B8%9C%E5%8D%97%E4%BA%9A%E7%A7%91%E6%8A%80-%E6%96%B0%E5%8A%A0%E5%9D%A1-%E5%8D%B0%E5%BA%A6%E5%B0%BC%E8%A5%BF%E4%BA%9A-%E8%B6%8A%E5%8D%97-%E8%8F%B2%E5%BE%8B%E5%AE%BE-%E6%B3%B0%E5%9B%BD%E5%92%8C%E9%A9%AC%E6%9D%A5%E8%A5%BF%E4%BA%9A%E5%88%9D%E5%88%9B%E4%BC%81%E4%B8%9A-%E5%88%9B/id1734175342" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p> #SoutheastAsia #VentureCapital #Podcast #CareerAdvice #StartupFounders #SingaporeStartups #SEATech</p> <p><br /></p> <p>00:00 The Illusion of Self-Help and Success</p> <p>00:52 Own Your Power (And Your Quirks)</p> <p>02:13 Big Fish vs Small Fish in the Pond</p> <p>03:56 Outside-In vs Inside-Out Motivations</p> <p>05:05 Why I Left Bain &amp; Company</p> <p>06:44 Never Sacrifice Health for Wealth</p> <p>07:39 Protect Your Relationships</p> <p>08:01 Choose Your Pain</p> <p>08:34 Outro</p>

<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohitrj/" target="_blank">Rohit Jha</a>, Co-founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/transcelestial/" target="_blank">Transcelestial</a>, joins <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyau/" target="_blank">Jeremy Au</a> to explain how his Singapore-based startup is using laser communications to transmit internet at speeds far beyond what Starlink currently offers, and why that matters for Southeast Asia, global telcos, and the future of deep space.</p> <p>Rohit breaks down how Transcelestial went from building ground-to-ground laser links for 5G towers, with clients like Globe Telecom, Telkomsel, T-Mobile, AT&amp;T, Verizon, and NTT Group, to now building an orbital ring of 40 satellites designed to replace undersea cables and host orbital data centres capable of running AI workloads in space.</p> <p>Topics covered include the Transcelestial vs. SpaceX and Starlink distinction, why telcos are a national security asset that will never be sold to a foreign operator, how AI is driving an explosion in internet bandwidth demand, and how a laser link restored connectivity to 50 villages in Taiwan after a typhoon destroyed a fibre-carrying bridge in under two hours. Rohit also shares what it means to be brave, from fighting off knife-wielding robbers in Munich on Christmas Eve to secretly redirecting company capital into a space programme without telling the board.</p> <p>Watch, listen or read the full insight at <a href="https://www.bravesea.com/blog/rohit-jha-global-internet-lasers" target="_blank">https://www.bravesea.com/blog/rohit-jha-global-internet-lasers</a></p> <p>Get transcripts, startup resources &amp; community discussions at<a href="https://www.bravesea.com/" target="_blank"> https://www.bravesea.com</a></p> <p>WhatsApp:<a href="https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e" target="_blank"> https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e</a></p> <p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau" target="_blank"> https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau</a></p> <p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz</a></p> <p>Twitter X :<a href="https://x.com/jeremyau" target="_blank"> https://x.com/jeremyau</a></p> <p>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea</a></p> <p>English:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4TnqkaWpTT181lMA8xNu0T" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyAu?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/brave-southeast-asia-tech-singapore-indonesia-vietnam/id1506890464" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p>Bahasa Indonesia:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2Vs8t6qPo0eFb4o6zOmiVZ" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmSAfC8oZMQ&amp;list=PLl9u6ECOP8_6DexuTNkCpmTwKDhRTKGcZ" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brave-teknologi-asia-tenggara-singapura-indonesia-vietnam-filipina-thailand-malaysia-perusahaan-rintisan-pendiri-dan/id1729433475" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p>Chinese:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/20AGbzHhzFDWyRTbHTVDJR" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfPbq-Znr90&amp;list=PLl9u6ECOP8_67PEJ85ml-Pa6O8igaixdS" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/brave-chinese-%E4%B8%9C%E5%8D%97%E4%BA%9A%E7%A7%91%E6%8A%80-%E6%96%B0%E5%8A%A0%E5%9D%A1-%E5%8D%B0%E5%BA%A6%E5%B0%BC%E8%A5%BF%E4%BA%9A-%E8%B6%8A%E5%8D%97-%E8%8F%B2%E5%BE%8B%E5%AE%BE-%E6%B3%B0%E5%9B%BD%E5%92%8C%E9%A9%AC%E6%9D%A5%E8%A5%BF%E4%BA%9A%E5%88%9D%E5%88%9B%E4%BC%81%E4%B8%9A-%E5%88%9B/id1734175342" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p>#Singapore #Technology #SpaceTech #Podcast #US #Taiwan #Philippines #Indonesia #Malaysia #Vietnam #southeastasia #techpodcast</p> <p><br /></p> <p>00:00 Anyone Who Is Not SpaceX Is Signing Us Up</p> <p>00:30 Welcome to BRAVE and Rohit Jha Introduction</p> <p>01:30 What Is Transcelestial?

<p>Jianggan Li, Founder of Momentum Works, joins Jeremy Au to unpack the Trump Xi Beijing summit, the first US presidential visit to China since 2017. They decode the optics of Zhongnanhai Garden and the Temple of Heaven, Xi Jinping's Thucydides Trap reference, the 200 plane Boeing deal, and why the absence of major deliverables is itself a strategic win.</p> <p>The conversation dives deep into the AI chip war, why NVIDIA's market share in China collapsed from 95% to under 10%, how the US export ban accelerated Chinese semiconductor self-reliance, and DeepSeek's reported 50 billion RMB funding round with the founder personally contributing 20 billion. They examine why Jensen Huang was added to Trump's delegation last minute, Elon Musk's unique position with Tesla in China, how Chinese state subsidies flow through local governments, and why founders like the Manus team made costly domicile mistakes.</p> <p>For Southeast Asia founders, VCs, and operators in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, this episode reveals why both superpowers settled into managed competition rather than decisive split, and what it means for global supply chains, AI models, and capital flows in 2026.</p> <p>Watch, listen or read the full insight at <a href="https://www.bravesea.com/blog/trump-xi-summit" target="_blank">https://www.bravesea.com/blog/trump-xi-summit</a></p> <p>Get transcripts, startup resources &amp; community discussions at<a href="https://www.bravesea.com/" target="_blank"> https://www.bravesea.com</a></p> <p>WhatsApp:<a href="https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e" target="_blank"> https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e</a></p> <p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau" target="_blank"> https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau</a></p> <p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz</a></p> <p>Twitter X :<a href="https://x.com/jeremyau" target="_blank"> https://x.com/jeremyau</a></p> <p>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea</a></p> <p>English:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4TnqkaWpTT181lMA8xNu0T" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyAu?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/brave-southeast-asia-tech-singapore-indonesia-vietnam/id1506890464" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p>Bahasa Indonesia:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2Vs8t6qPo0eFb4o6zOmiVZ" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmSAfC8oZMQ&amp;list=PLl9u6ECOP8_6DexuTNkCpmTwKDhRTKGcZ" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brave-teknologi-asia-tenggara-singapura-indonesia-vietnam-filipina-thailand-malaysia-perusahaan-rintisan-pendiri-dan/id1729433475" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p>Chinese:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/20AGbzHhzFDWyRTbHTVDJR" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> |<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfPbq-Znr90&amp;list=PLl9u6ECOP8_67PEJ85ml-Pa6O8igaixdS" target="_blank"> YouTube</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/brave-chinese-%E4%B8%9C%E5%8D%97%E4%BA%9A%E7%A7%91%E6%8A%80-%E6%96%B0%E5%8A%A0%E5%9D%A1-%E5%8D%B0%E5%BA%A6%E5%B0%BC%E8%A5%BF%E4%BA%9A-%E8%B6%8A%E5%8D%97-%E8%8F%B2%E5%BE%8B%E5%AE%BE-%E6%B3%B0%E5%9B%BD%E5%92%8C%E9%A9%AC%E6%9D%A5%E8%A5%BF%E4%BA%9A%E5%88%9D%E5%88%9B%E4%BC%81%E4%B8%9A-%E5%88%9B/id1734175342" target="_blank"> Apple Podcasts</a></p> <p><br /></p> <p>00:00 Introduction</p> <p>01:23 Why the Trump Xi summit was a strategic win</p> <p>03:25 Key players and how China renamed Rubio</p> <p>06:26 Xi's Thucydides Trap and the Athens Sparta lesson</p> <p>09:11 Chinese self-media versus official narratives</p> <p>12:10 Zhongnanhai Garden and Temple of Heaven optics</p> <p>15:15 El Niño, food security and global risk</p> <p>16:36 Boeing deal, Elon Musk and Tesla in China</p> <p>19:04 Jensen Huang added last minute to the delegation</p> <p>21:16 Why Chinese founders still domicile in Singapore</p> <p>23:08 DeepSeek's 50 billion RMB funding anomaly</p> <p>24:00 NVIDIA's China collapse and the backfired chip ban</p> <p>26:32 DeepSeek and ByteDance: founder driven AI</p> <p>29:34 How Chinese state subsidies actually work</p> <p>32:17 DeepSeek's cost efficiency strategy</p> <p>33:04 Future outlook: Xi's US visit and Taiwan</p>
