Late Night Hotpot
Two Gen-Zs going against the grain—breaking free from generational expectations and fighting for our versions of success. No filters—just raw stories, real talk, and the truths we were never allowed to say out loud.

#8 - Shattering the Chains of the 9-5 Rat Race
In this episode of Late Night Hotpot, Jeremy and Zoe delve into the complex journey of breaking away from the 9-to-5, questioning the status quo, and exploring what it truly means to carve your own path.
We get real about:
- Why Asian parents don’t trust new technology
- The role of personality and risk tolerance in choosing your career path
- Entrepreneurship being a privilege, not a universal option
- Asian immigrant parents only want ‘prestigious careers’ for their kids
- The importance of finding fulfilment in your career
- Expanding your entrepreneurship network
Whether you’re feeling stuck in the system, questioning your next steps, or navigating identity and ambition, this is one of our most honest and nuanced convos yet.
🍜 Pull up a chair, grab a bowl, and let’s talk about designing a life beyond the default.
