Co-founder & Editor-in-Chief, Eastside, Singapore
Audrey shares how Eastside is shaping authentic, regionally grounded travel storytelling—built by Asian voices for Asian audiences—while balancing bold risk-taking with discipline, mentorship and a future-facing plan that includes residencies, partnerships, and humane storytelling in a templated media world.
S11-E3: Anissa Safia
Founder, Anissa Safia Books, Malaysia
Anissa Safia shares how a life-altering stroke redirected her path from corporate life to stay-at-home mom and self-publishing.
