Join The Silk Way Roadshow

What if there was one skill that could unlock every door — in business, relationships, and even your health?

In this episode, we sit down with Ben Chai — serial entrepreneur, global property investor, TEDx speaker, and master of social magnetism.
Raised between worlds and cultures, Ben shares how growing up without a fixed identity led him to discover one of the most underestimated success tools of our time: the ability to connect — deeply, authentically, and across boundaries.

We explore:

• Why your social energy is more important than your resume
• How to speak so people actually listen — and remember
• The hidden link between visibility, confidence, and personal healing
• What it means to be a “global misfit” — and turn that into your greatest strength

Whether you're building a business, navigating cross-cultural identity, or simply wanting to show up more powerfully — this conversation will shift how you think about human connection, influence, and your own voice.
