We’ve heard some remarkable stories on this podcast, but Alice
Tsang’s is one of the most remarkable … and triumphant. That's
because from the crucible of abject poverty that saw her sharing a
tiny apartment with more than a dozen others, needing the quarter a
day her uncle could spare that allowed her to eat lunch at high
school, she gained an unlikely education that she’s put two use in
a pair of successful careers – first as a successful fixed-income
analyst on Wall Street and now as a college finance
professor.
Warwick talks with Tsang this week about what her hardscrabble
upbringing in Hong Kong taught her about what’s truly important in
life … lessons she now aims to teach her students so they
understand how to cope with and overcome the challenges they will
inevitably face.
“We do not have the ability to be perfect,” she says. “But we
can control how much effort we put into a better future for
ourselves.”
