$hape Your Finances: Fame to Purpose w/guest William Hung (Motivational Speaker)

The Lionel SHIPman $HAPE YOUR FINANCES Show is a financial and life empowerment show focusing on our lives around money and finances. The show aims to educate and motivate people to improve their financial outlooks and empower them to take charge of their lives and to live life to the fullest. 

William Hung was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the United States when he was in 4th grade. When he was studying for his MBA from Marist College in New York, he submitted a 50-page research paper talking about one of the biggest online poker companies in the world, Amaya. He took what he learned about creating systems in the gaming world into the real world: improving work, health, and relationships.

Have you ever gone from zero to hero, and BACK to zero? This was the feeling he experienced after traveling and performing full-time for about 4 years. He was treated like a king after his initial rise from American Idol fame back in 2004. But as expected, nothing THIS good can last forever. At that point, he thought he made the rational choice: going back to school, get a degree, and get a stable job. But then, one of his friends reminded him in 2017 how his first album “Inspiration” was a top seller not because of his singing talent. Instead, it was because of his inspirational messages in between the songs. This gave him the idea for how he can do much more than entertaining people. He can actually inspire people to discover and leverage their talent. He can help people choose happiness in their daily lives.

In early 2017, he started learning everything there is to learn about professional speaking. From speaking locally to small groups to speaking at global conferences for corporations and associations, he learned how marketing yourself as a speaker effectively is just as important for having a great message to share with your audience.
