Never Give Up When Life Gives You Every Reason To Quit—Michael Leung | Ep 252

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I’m joined by Michael Leung, founder and CEO of The Flow Group, who shares the powerful life lesson behind his story: “Never give up.” Michael opens up about immigrating to Canada as a child, losing his mother at a young age, and how that loss shaped many difficult years of anger, bad decisions, and searching for direction.We talk about what it means to keep going when life feels unfair, and Michael reflects on the turning points that helped him change his path, including the relationship that pushed him to stop wasting his life and start seeing more in himself. He also shares how his experience with partial blindness and retinitis pigmentosa eventually influenced his desire to build something meaningful.Michael’s company, The Flow Group, is creating assistive hearing technology designed to make hearing support more affordable, accessible, and comfortable for people who need it. In this conversation, we explore the connection between personal struggle and purposeful work, the importance of accessibility, and why failure can become part of the path to success.Listeners will come away with a reminder that being an underdog does not mean your story is over. Sometimes the same pain that almost breaks you can become the reason you build something that helps other people feel included, supported, and seen.Every episode has more to it than what you hear.
