In this episode of Life Between Titles, host Savan Kong sits down with Michael Lee, a finance leader, founder, and father whose story is a masterclass in curiosity, reinvention, and purpose.

Born in Wichita, Kansas to immigrant parents from Taiwan and China, Michael’s journey has taken him from public school in Seattle to Dartmouth College, from Wall Street boardrooms to leading high-growth startups in Los Angeles. Along the way, he’s built and led companies, raised two kids, gone through personal transformation, and discovered what it really means to live a full, balanced life.

They talk about therapy and self-awareness, fatherhood and failure, volunteering and leadership — and how growth isn’t about chasing the next title, but about rediscovering what truly matters. Whether you’re a parent, a leader, or someone in transition, this conversation will remind you that success is not a straight line — it’s a lifelong climb guided by curiosity, humility, and heart.
