The RJ Ledesma Podcast

FROM “ANTI-AGING” TO AI-POWERED LONGEVITY. 🧬

Most people think aging is just something we eventually learn to live with. Mike Chan believes we may soon be able to manage it far more proactively. On this episode of The RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with the Founder and CEO of House of Gaia, the Philippines’ first AI-powered longevity center, to explore how technology is transforming the future of healthcare and human vitality. From full-body MRIs and genome sequencing to biomarker tracking, AI diagnostics, and precision medicine, Mike shares how longevity medicine is shifting healthcare from simply treating disease… to detecting risk earlier and optimizing health before problems even begin. One insight that really stayed with me? Many of today’s biggest health risks—heart disease, cancer, stroke, and dementia—are closely linked to aging itself. Yet most people only start paying attention once symptoms already appear. This conversation goes far beyond fitness trends or supplements. It’s about living longer with energy. Staying sharper as we age. And understanding how science and technology may completely redefine what “healthy aging” looks like in the future.

From IT Guy to Scrub Daddy: Turning a “What If” into a Real Business

He wasn’t in retail. He wasn’t in distribution. He wasn’t even planning to start a business. He was an IT professional. Then one day… he saw something on Shark Tank. That product? Scrub Daddy. What started as a simple “what if” turned into something much bigger. In this episode of the RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with Dustin Ng of Wincorp—a former expat IT professional who took a chance on a product he believed in, despite having zero background in retail or distribution. No roadmap. No guarantees. Just the willingness to reach out, take a risk, and figure things out along the way. From spotting an opportunity on TV… to building a full-scale business bringing a global brand into the Philippine market—this is a story of hustle, resilience, and commitment. Because sometimes, the biggest opportunities don’t come from experience. They come from seeing something others don’t—and acting on it. 🎧 Watch the full episode now.

From Market Crashes to Mental Clarity: How Entrepreneurs Can Build a Winning Investment Strategy with Jun Tarrobago

Most people don’t lose money because they picked the wrong investment. They lose money because they had no strategy when things started falling apart. On the RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with Jun Tarrobago—a former Chief Investment Officer at UnionBank of the Philippines who has managed billions in assets, navigated multiple market cycles, and helped build top-performing equity funds. Today, he works closely with entrepreneurs and investors—not just telling them where to invest, but helping them understand how to think, decide, and stay disciplined when everything becomes uncertain. Because in times like these, it’s not about chasing returns. It’s about having a clear, structured strategy when the pressure hits. If you’re building wealth, running a business, or simply trying to make smarter financial decisions—this conversation might just change how you approach money. 🎧 Watch the full episode now. #RJLedesmaPodcast #InvestingPH #FinancialStrategy #WealthBuilding #EntrepreneurMindset For any collaboration, brand partnership, and campaign run inquiries, e-mail us at info@thepodnetwork.com. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

From Cellphone Wraps to Supercar Dreams: The Rise of Second Skin Industries

Most businesses start with a plan. This one started with a hobby. On this episode of the RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with Archie Chiang, founder of Second Skin Industries—a self-made entrepreneur whose journey began back in college… not with cars, but with wrapping cellphones. That curiosity turned into skill. That skill turned into wrapping laptops. Then cars. And eventually… some of the most prized supercars in the country. From working out of a humble five-car garage to now operating across two warehouses, Archie didn’t just build a business—he built it layer by layer, one wrap at a time. This is a story about passion that compounds, skills that scale, and how something small—when pursued consistently—can grow into something world-class. If you’ve ever underestimated where your “hobby” can take you… this episode might just change your mind.
