Kaiwen Chen is a good friend of mine and I wanted to share his stories with y'all because he shed a different light on living life on purpose and the pursuit of happiness.During his time as an investment banker with Macquarie Bank, he decided to start a side-hustle as an Uber driver to fund his Tesla and a good way to meet new people. He also shared his story on quarter-life crisis and how it has turned him into a homeless CEO for 600 days.This is an epitome and real-life story of living an unconventional life in a conventional life and how to live a life filled with purpose and pure happiness.A little bit about Kaiwen Chen:Professionally, I'm focused on developing solar farms and battery projects. My work is driven by my belief that we need to accelerate the world's transition to a sustainable energy future.
