Carrie Tan & Jared Poon

Why does the mind work so hard to protect us from the truth and what does it take to look anyway? In this episode, we sit down with two very different minds asking the same question. Carrie Tan, former Member of Parliament turned transformation coach, unpacks the micro-moments that quietly sabotage our decisions, relationships, and leadership. Jared Poon, philosopher and author of City of Others, explores how fiction and storytelling reveal the blind spots reality tends to hide. One rooted in real-world leadership, the other in myth and imagination, together, they trace how self-awareness, however we arrive at it, might be the real work.
