In this inspiring episode, I chat with Jason Tan, founder of Engage AI and a self-described introvert turned entrepreneur. Jason shares the exact mindset shifts and practical tools he used to go from being a reserved, behind-the-scenes engineer to becoming a Top LinkedIn Voice, speaker, and business owner who helps others do the same.
You'll learn the 3-step framework that helped Jason overcome self-doubt, develop his voice, and build authentic online relationships – especially as someone who isn’t naturally outgoing. Discover the hidden superpowers introverts have, how AI can support communication growth, and the biggest misconceptions holding technical professionals back from making an impact.
Whether you're an introverted founder, freelancer, or technical expert trying to make your mark online, this episode will give you tools, encouragement, and new ways to show up – without pretending to be someone you’re not.
