“Too Young To Be CEO?” He Proved Everyone Wrong! From Shy Kid With a Stutter to National Leader, TEDx Speaker and Angel Investor by 24 - Jahin Tanvir

You can be born shy and still become a CEO, TEDx speaker and live national television guest in your early 20s. Jahin Tanvir, the CEO of ASE Group has done just that.

He went from stacking 31 work experiences by the age of 24 (most of them unpaid) to becoming CEO of a national company as his first full-time job. After cold-emailing charities for volunteer gigs, Jahin turned lockdown into his launchpad, creating Breathe, a public speaking business that blew up on TikTok, signed clients like Canva and Toyota, and was acquired within six months.

Now he is one of the youngest CEOs in Australia, teaching life skills to over 180,000 young Australians. In this episode of ex-vicarious, Braith delved into Jahin’s mental model that reframes nerves into excitement, how Jahin overcame being told he was “too young” and why failure should never mean bouncing back, but failing forward.
