Super Entrepreneurs Podcast

In today's episode, we sit down with Jason Wong, founder of Packing Duck and serial 8-figure entrepreneur, to talk about building businesses from nothing - no funding, no experience, just execution.
We discuss how he went from peeling shrimp in restaurant kitchens as an immigrant kid to building multiple 8-figure companies before age 30. Jason shares how he bought into a Chinese factory, modernized it with content and AI, and hit 8 figures in year one — entirely self-funded. The conversation also covers the top 3 businesses you can start today using AI, why being "delusional" is a requirement for success, and how to know when to leave something good for something great.

Are you stuck in a soul-crushing corporate job, secretly resenting it every Monday while praying for Friday - all for the illusion of "safety"?
In this eye-opening Super Entrepreneurs Podcast episode, host Shahid Durrani interviews Nikki Barua - CEO & Co-Founder of Flipwork and a 4x entrepreneur - who reveals why the traditional 9-5 "safe job" is now the biggest risk in the AI era.
With AI layoffs accelerating across every industry in 2026, mass corporate cuts, and automation eliminating millions of roles, the old promise of job security is officially dead. Nikki shares her raw journey from immigrant roots in India to building multi-million dollar global businesses — and why high-agency entrepreneurship backed by unbreakable self-belief is the only real path to wealth, freedom, and fulfillment.
