About Jing Lang

I lost the audacity to live freely

Jing Lang is an actuary-turned-entrepreneur, storyteller, and lifelong learner who redefines what’s possible when we dare to follow our deepest interests. As a first-generation immigrant, she climbed the corporate ladder in pursuit of conventional success but chose to leave it all behind to craft a life fueled by curiosity over prestige.

Jing’s journey—from insurance executive to AI educator, podcast host, and advocate for animal welfare—makes her a true force of inspiration, using vulnerability and uncanny perspectives to challenge others to live more boldly and authentically. She’s here to show that by changing our mindset, we can transform our lives.
