Rowena Tsai | On Hard Work, Success, and Self Care π Dessert-ing & Chatting with Steven Lim @rowena | Uploaded April 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
We eat (dessert) and talk about life (hard work, balance, success, and the importance of self care) with Buzzfeed Worth It's Steven Lim π€ From humble beginnings sleeping on a thin foam pad for 1.5 years when he first moved to LA to being the face of one of Buzzfeed's most successful series to date, we talk how he got to where he is today (2:27), advice he'd give his younger self (6:42), future plans (spoiler: he has 0 idea and is totally OK with it; 11:58), the best advice he's gotten recently (20:15), and much much moreβlike what's his spirit fruit (11:00).
Ever since meeting Steven, I've always appreciated his honesty and admired his insanely disciplined work ethic and high expectations for himselfβall of which is sprinkled throughout our convo. I hope you guys find this chat as fun as it is helpful! Thank you so much for joining us. :) Go show him some love!!!
