The LITO Podcast

A DM landed in my inbox this week from someone in a real bind. Tough manager. IVF. Wellbeing wobbling. And the question I get asked more than almost any other, quietly, over and over: should I just quit, without another job lined up? I couldn't fit my answer into a voice note. So I recorded this. In this episode, I'm walking you through five lenses for anyone sitting in the quit question right now...

Years ago, Michelle Lo Horton reached out to me after losing her biggest client. Payroll pressure. Nervous system in survival mode. A business that looked stable from the outside but felt shaky within. Today, she has shut down her nine-year agency, moved to New York, and rebuilt from scratch around a single conviction: storytelling isn’t branding fluff. It’s business infrastructure. In this episod...

Overthinking doesn’t look lazy. It looks responsible. Strategic. “Still refining.” In this Chinese New Year episode, we call out the polite lie of productivity that keeps capable people stuck in preparation mode while the market moves on without them. If you’ve been busy but not bold… planning but not shipping… polishing but not launching… this one’s for you. We’ve shed the old skin. Now the gate...

Most of us assume we’re in charge of our lives. But when we slow down and look closely, we might notice how often our decisions, emotions, and direction are quietly shaped by other people’s opinions, reactions, expectations, or even their confusion. In this episode, we explore the idea of personal sovereignty and why so many capable, self-aware people still feel stuck, reactive, or strangely drain...

This episode marks the beginning of a new era. In it, I share what’s been quietly rearranging itself over the past two years. The endings, the pause, the identity shifts, and the deeper operating principles now guiding my life and work. I talk about: •why I chose to let go of LITO Academy •what radical personal sovereignty looks like in practice •the decision to step back into authorship and chang...

As this year comes to a close, I’m sitting with gratitude, tenderness, and the quiet feeling of still becoming. This episode is a gentle year-end reflection on moving through seasons, sitting in the void, and learning that letting go isn’t always easy, not because we don’t want relief, but because holding on can feel safer than the unknown. If you’re ending this year in reflection, transition, or...

This week’s episode is a special one. A year-end music circle, a heart-on-sleeve catch-up, and a soft landing place after a whirlwind 2025. Dan is joined by two of his favourite humans — "Dajie" (Joanna) and Kenji — for a cosy, nostalgic, reflective episode layered with laughter, stories, and honest conversation… all woven between original songs and brand-new arrangements of classic Canto, Mando,...

Why do people hold back on their vision? Why do many people delay going after their desires? What’s the difference between Wanting vs. Committing? Newsflash: ““Wanting” alone is easy. It doesn’t take any effort. And it does jack shit in producing results. Find out how you can enhance your level of commitment and manifest your dreams. ------ Come say hi 👋 📍 instagram.com/dannybunny.co 🌐 www.dann...

Hey Xiaomaos, here’s a little Christmas gift from my heart to yours. This is my cover of “Christmas Eve” (クリスマス・イブ) originally written and performed by the legendary Tatsuro Yamashita (山下達郎). His music has shaped so much of what Christmas feels like, and this is my tiny tribute to his magic. I’ve been playing a lot in the world of music arrangement and production lately, and giving thi...

This episode is your official permission slip to stop being scared of money and start flirting with it properly. We’re talking about your money drama, your money shame, your “don’t-look-at-my-bank-app” anxiety, and every little story you’ve inherited about why wanting more is “too much.” Spoiler: it’s all nonsense. I break down what financial freedom really means (hint: it’s not living like a monk...

Feeling stuck, scared, or “not ready yet”? You’re not alone. In this episode, I walk you through the biggest mindset traps that keep entrepreneurs small. From perfectionism and imposter syndrome to comparison and fear of pivoting. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect timing, this is your sign: readiness is a lie. Clarity comes after the leap, not before. Tune in, take notes, and let’s get you ou...

A coffee chat with mindfulness teacher, Remington Cooney, turned truth serum. We unpack why we cling to familiar pain, how to shed the protector self without self-attack, and what it means to make friends with the void so clarity can drop into the body. Expect Human Design insights for Projectors, loving-kindness as a real regulation tool, a temple visit to Guan Yin on Waterloo Street, and Dan’s m...

This one’s for all my recovering “yes” people. You know that feeling when you say yes, but every cell in your body is screaming no? Yeah… that one. In this live class replay, I get real about people-pleasing — where it comes from, how it hides behind kindness, and why it secretly drains the hell out of you. We talk about fake harmony that breeds resentment, why “nice” isn’t the same as good, and w...

This one’s a little different. Part café chat, part Helsinki walk-and-talk. We start with rich hot chocolate at a friend’s café (the best in town, according to Van) and then hit the streets, recording in real time as the city hums around us. Van Nguyen’s story proves that saying yes — even before the paycheck — can lead to reinvention, community, and creative breakthroughs. From Vietnam to Finland...

Arguments and criticisms are inevitable BUT losing your cool isn’t. In this episode of the LITO Podcast, I share how to hold your ground with calm confidence when conflicts arise. From practical one-liners you can whip out on the spot, to mindset shifts that keep trolls and critics from stealing your energy, you’ll walk away with a toolbox of strategies to stay cool, clear, and cucumber-fresh no m...

This one’s special. I got to sit down with my mentor and dear friend Lydia Lee (aka Mama Bear) for a heart-to-heart on building businesses that actually feel good to run. Lydia’s the genius behind the “Tiny but Mighty” business concept, and she’s living proof that you don’t need a massive empire to create massive impact. We talk about her own journey from corporate burnout (hello, golden handcuffs...

You just lost your job. You’re spiralling. Bills are due. What now? In this raw and real episode, I respond to a powerful message from a listener who lost his job right as he was about to join BYOB (my new business course). He was panicking, out of options… or so he thought. Here’s what we dive into: What to do immediately after a layoff (emotionally AND strategically) How to protect your nervous...

Hold on to your emotional support donuts because this episode is wildly raw, deeply soulful, and outrageously real. I sit down with Simone Seol , the iconic marketing maven, spiritual firecracker, and truth-teller, for the conversation of my dreams (literally, my “bucket-list-before-I-die” kind of dream). We dive into everything from: Loving the “poop” in our lives (yes, you read that right). What...

Ever dreamed of building a business but felt like you’re shouting into the void because your audience is… basically your mom, your bestie, and maybe your cat? This episode is for you if you’ve ever wanted to launch something amazing but didn’t know where to start or thought you needed a giant following to even begin. I spill the tea on what I would do if I started a business from scratch with zero...

What does it really take to live a life that feels rich the moment you open your eyes? Not Instagram-rich. Not bank-balance-rich. But soul-deep, breath-catching, “I can’t believe this is my life” kind of rich? In this epic two-hour episode (get ready a beverage!), I sit down with the luminous Maisie Cheong for a raw, thoughtful, and wildly insightful conversation about what it means to build a lif...

I had meant to roll out the welcome mat before we burst into Season 4 with the previous episode with the glorious Elaine Cole in the Maldives, but hey, time is bendy like that, isn’t it? In this short and sweet solo update, I take a moment to say hi (properly), catch you up on what’s been unfolding behind the scenes, and share what you can expect from this brand new season of the LITO Podcast. Thi...

Join us as we sit down with the illustrious Kit Chan, Singapore's adored Mandopop icon, for a deep dive into the art of aging, or rather, growing 'young' gracefully.
