"JF" burned-out and quit his 6-fig corporate job during the pandemic. He then reset his whole life, and has since been investing his time and savings into building a business he’s truly passionate about. He believes that, for an individual to be truly happy, they must be supported in exploring all possible ways to self-realize. That's why - through his coaching platform, wabya - he aims to bring self-actualization to 1 billion people by 2033.
