Should they follow their gut and passion or align their choices with the tech-driven reality we see today?
Exactly. It's truly an era of chaos. And now you know why I called this show Chief Change Officer.
That's exactly right. No one can truly calculate change or predict every outcome with absolute accuracy. I completely agree with you. It's all about centering on yourself. It's not about being self-centered, but rather understanding what aligns with your values and vision. It's about knowing what works for you and what doesn't.
As you mentioned earlier, it's not always about having everything calculated or planned out. Sometimes it's about going with what feels right. If something doesn't resonate, you move on. These instincts and tendencies are valuable data points They are guides that help us navigate the journey ahead.
Thank you for your kind words. This is very encouraging. One of the best comments I've ever received so far. And of course, thank you for all your sharing and your time. and for working with me to create an out-of-the-box storytelling for this episode. Thank you so much for joining us today.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to our show, Chief Change Officer. I'm Vince Chen, your ambitious human host. Our show is a modernist humility for change progressives in organizational and human transformation from around the world. I started this show in Hong Kong and I run the show in Hong Kong. I'm originally from Hong Kong, talking to guests from every corner of the world possible.
Yet so far, I haven't interviewed any guests from right here in Hong Kong. Today, that changes. I'm excited to bring a local guest to the studio, May Yeung, founder of the charity Art of My Family, a teaching artist, a cancer survivor, a mother to a really cute boy, and the wife of another Vince, who happens to be a good friend of mine. May has experienced many life changes over the years.
She's determined to use the power of art in her own way to change lives and create an environmentally sustainable, mentally healthy, and socially inclusive society here in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is not just about business, finance and money. May has chosen a different path to do well and to do good. And as a side note, we've got our youngest guest ever, May's 11-month-old son joining us on the show.
So don't go away.
Mei is a teaching artist. What is a teaching artist, you may wonder? And how does she develop her artistic journey? But before we do a deep dive, let us start with May's history. May, give us an overview of your history, your education, your life experiences, just to give us some perspective. Then we will explore different elements of your journey in the later part of our show.
You went to the University of Chicago to study visual art, along with another interest of yours, political science. I happen to know a lot of people from Hong Kong and China, including myself, who attempt the University of Chicago to study economics, business, mathematics, or physics. Yet, even at your young age, you purposely chose art as your major. Tell us more about the why.
Why at that age you decided to pursue art as your major? Why you wanted to get serious about this field of study rather than just keeping it as a hobby or as an interest?
You've mentioned to me before that music has had a significant influence on your journey as an artist. Can you share more about how music plays a role in your art world?
In your career so far, you've explored various areas of art, like music, sculpture, and painting. But you've also spent a good amount of time in the corporate world, including investment banking and working for a tech company in the CSR or ESG space.
What were your thoughts back then about gaining this so-called standard commercial and business experience while still pursuing your artistic ambitions?
Speaking of perseverance, I can't help but ask about a significant aspect of your personal life. You shared in other media interviews that you were diagnosed with cancer at a young age and battled the illness for a considerable time. Could you share how this experience transformed or impacted you? Did it make you a more empathetic or artistic person? Or perhaps it had a different effect?
How does this health and personal experience shape your journey? I think our listeners would really appreciate hearing about the life lessons you've learned from this challenging time.
A near-death experience gives you a new perspective on life. While that experience is full of suffering, and we don't try to glorify it, it can also lead to personal growth. You came out of it as a better person, someone who embraces life more fully and finds greater happiness. And speaking of life, I know that in recent years, you started a new chapter.
You got married to another Vince, who's also a friend of mine from the University of Chicago. And you have a son, a new life that you are nurturing. How is modelhood treating you so far? How has this experience, along with other major live events, impacted your perspective as an artist and in helping your communities?
