Most people spend their entire lives trying to enter the corporate world.
Tunku Alizakri already reached the top of it.
From leading major institutions to operating at the centre of Malaysia’s financial ecosystem, he has spent decades understanding how power, systems, and large organisations actually work behind closed doors.
But instead of staying comfortable, he stepped into a completely different world: startups.
Why would someone leave stability for uncertainty?
In this episode, Tunku Alizakri breaks down why younger generations are walking away from traditional career paths, why large corporations are struggling to adapt to the speed of technological change, and why AI is forcing entire industries into a state of confusion.
From the future of work to the psychology of ambition, this conversation explores what happens when experience collides with reinvention.
Because in a rapidly changing world, staying still might be the biggest risk of all.
