Ramli John - Founder of Delight Path, shares core memories from his teenage years that inspired his entrepreneurial journey. Explores how attaching his worth to his achievements was making him act like a jerk. Shares stories from the worst boss he ever had. And discusses the toughest feedback that he’s received (and what he’s doing about it).
Ramli opens up about:
1. Seeing his dad get laid off after 15 years and how that shook his belief in relying on one employer.
2. A CEO screaming at their CTO and team members, creating a toxic work environment that pushed Ramli to leave.
3. Ramli's realization that he was emulating Steve Jobs' harsh behavior and treating people poorly, which led him to seek therapy for a healthier approach to work and life.
