Description

Godwin Chan is the host of the Digital Introverts podcast. This is a show where introverts share their success and failure stories and discuss how they thrive in the digital age. The show is for introverts from all walks of life who are ready to just start and scale their next venture, whether it's a creative hobby, side hustle, small business, or startup. In addition to being a podcast host, Godwin is a Doctor of Pharmacy Candidate at the University of Toronto, and is interested within healthcare venture capital - don’t know what that means? No worries, we cover that and a lot more in this episode, including how he went from being shy to having the wide network that he has today.

Highlights & Takeaways

• How Godwin wanted to write a memoir, which transitioned to doing interviews for a book oriented towards introverts and the future, and finally landing on the idea of creating the Digital Introverts podcast
• How content creators are competing in the attention economy and very few ever make it to the top - but newer kinds of decentralized social platforms will allow people to directly control their monetization, so that there will be more full-time creators
• Godwin used to not talk at all as a kid and presenting in front of people was a nightmare, but over time, he got more comfortable interacting with others
• Godwin’s strategy using social media platforms to connect with people with similar interests, and that’s how he got into the world of venture capital
• Blending his interests of science and business, where his longer-term goal is to invest into the next great generation of healthcare companies.
