Ever wonder why some people always seem to make progress—while others stay stuck Googling for answers?

Here’s the truth: Success often starts with one simple, underrated skill—just asking.

In this Quick Win episode, we unpack three powerful insights from ShanShan Wang, an industrial designer turned MedTech founder, to help you move forward today. These lessons apply whether you’re trying to switch careers, start a project, or simply want your work to matter more.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

• The underrated power of asking: How ShanShan turned casual conversations into mentorship and secured her first $2M investment by simply asking.

• Why you don’t need to live the problem to solve it: Learn how empathy—not personal experience—can help you spot solvable, sizeable, overlooked problems (the sweet spot for impact, as discussed in Moral Ambition).

• How to rally others behind your vision: Why communicating passion and purpose matters more than perfection—and how to start doing it today.
