Living Across the Globe, Optimism, and Similarities Between Parenting and Angel Investing with Jachin Cheng

Moving with a young family and living in different parts of the world, being an optimist at work as well as in parenting, and the fungibility of skills as a parent and an angel investor. I talk to Jachin Cheng on his take on parenting and investing.   Jachin Cheng is a Senior Product Manager at Google Pay and Google AI. He was born and raised in the US before joining Google in 2007. His 15-year career with them has brought him across Israel, the UK, Switzerland, and finally Singapore. His globe-trotting career, along with his wife and three children, aged 10, 7, and 3 has shaped his views on parenting. Jachin is also an angel investor.   Working in different countries means getting to experience diverse cultures. Jachin points out how the differences in parenting styles were an eye-opener and inspiration on how to parent as a first time father. A nomadic lifestyle started to get challenging with 3 children, so the decision to plant roots in Singapore helped.    One of the lessons Jachin applies both at work and at home is optimism. He relishes seeing the good in people and in ideas, then working hard to make it happen.   To get in touch with Jachin Cheng find him on LinkedIn: https://sg.linkedin.com/in/jachin   Don’t forget to head over to www.parents.fm to stay up to date with new and previous episodes, join our community of parents in tech or drop me a line.
