The Power of the Pivot: Reinvention, Identity and Starting Again with Siva Shanker Jayaraj
from Unpolished Wisdom · host Katrina Gisbert-Tay
In this episode of Unpolished Wisdom, Dr. Katrina Gisbert Tay speaks to Siva Shanker Jayaraj. Siva grew up in a kampong in Malacca with no address and no plan — just an unshakeable belief that having nothing to lose was its own kind of freedom. That belief carried him to Nike, where he spent 11 years building some of the boldest brand experiences in Southeast Asia. Then one night, watching The Greatest Showman on a long-haul flight, he asked himself the question that changed everything: was Nike the circus, or was I?This is a conversation about walking away from the rocket, betting on yourself with no safety net, and what it really means to build a life on your own terms.
