Should success be set against the background of struggling, hustling and bustling? In this episode, we dive into the complexities of success and self-perception in a world where being ‘self-made’ is often synonymous with a person’s value. Joined by Germaine Tan, a loved DJ on 987fm, we explore her journey from growing up privileged to writing her career path independently. From debunking stereotypes to sharing her raw experiences as a ‘nepo’ baby, she discusses how she’s built her brand while balancing independence with assistance.

[@trevorthai1685]

The look of visible confusion on Germaine's face at the zombie Question Pod question is priceless 🤣

[@kiwiisaurusss]

Thank you Germaine for the input :D and the edits, wow!

[@Dee-wb5go]

YAHOOO!!! we love germaine :DDD

[@libraries144]

Exactly. Your parents might be rich but its your own capabilities to whether you know how to take on the opportunity. Ive seen many rich man children (my age) choose not to accept the opportunuties their parents gave them

[@madelynn_18]

Reminds me of the episode with Das DD where it was also discussed how even if your parents are rich there's still hard work involved for the children who did come out successful. As much as they seemed to have a "better start" it doesn't guarantee them the outcome and longevity if there's no effort involved at the end of the day.
Germaine is one of the testaments to them - most people who used the excuse "oh she/he is lucky because their parents are wealthy already" loosely are mostly salty ngl. Don't let that bother you. You know the work you've put it, and how it has been brought to fruition. Same for all those out there, doesn't matter how you start but what you do with it.
