Lessons from a Chief Sales Orchestrator, with Christina Tan, (Sales-Symphony)

What does it actually take to go from zero to winning against the big guys? Christina Tan, founder of Sales Symphony, is back with Junus to share the raw, real lessons she's picked up across decades in sales.

Why Health Is the Ultimate Wealth in 2026, with Oh Puay San, Keshet Agritech

In 2026, what if the real measure of wealth is not a bank balance, but health? In this episode of Building Financial Fitness, Keshet Agritech co-founder Puay San’s journey from wealth management into food and agriculture sparks a broader look at how modern food has changed, why convenience and shelf life often come before nutrition, and what that means for our energy, health, and ability to perform. Access, affordability, and food production also come into play, shaping health outcomes in ways many people only feel later in life. As Puay San puts it, “Your body is your engine, and you only have one engine. If you kill it, that’s over.” - You can find out more about Keshet Agritech here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/keshetagritech/ www.KeshetAgritech.com - Want to get in touch?

Why Sales Isn't Optional as a Life Skill in 2026, with Christina Tan, Sales-Symphony

Sales is no longer just a job. In 2026, it is a life skill whether you like it or not. In this episode of the Building Financial Fitness Podcast, Junus sits down with Chief Sales Orchestrator Christina for a candid conversation that strips sales down to what it really is. They explore how we are constantly influencing, persuading, and advocating for ourselves in ways we rarely notice, especially at work. Instead of scripts and tactics, the focus turns to mindset. Christina shares why sales works best when it feels human, why listening often matters more than talking, and how learning to stand behind your own value can shift the way others respond to you. As Christina puts it, “Sales is not about pushing. It’s about understanding people.” - You can find out more about Christina at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-min-shyan-tan/ https://www.sales-symphony.com/ - Want to get in touch?
