EP 21 | Hannah Tan - On Being An Actress, Singer-Songwriter and Model Who Dropped Out of High School

“I was a very emotional child and running away from home was my first instinct, I was rebellious and I wanted to show my parents I don't want to conform. Life begins at that moment when I realised how difficult it was to crawl through life.” --- Hannah Tan

 

In this podcast episode, Hannah shares personal stories and lessons learnt ever since running away from home at the age of 16 and how she sustained herself at that time. She talks about her journey and career as an entrepreneur, TV host, singer and an actress. She gives tips to young people who want to be independent and advice to those who are going through hard times in their lives.
