Everything around him had settled—but inside, he still feltlost.

He had the house.
His kids were thriving.
His wife had embraced the new life.
But John Chan couldn’t shake the feeling: “I was the only one who hadn’tarrived.”

In Episode 8 of A Stranger, A Suitcase & A Story,John shares the quiet but deeply personal journey of starting over—not just ina new country, but in his own sense of identity.

After a successful corporate career in South Africa, Johnmoved to Australia in search of a new life. On paper, it all made sense. Butbeneath the surface, he struggled with purpose, identity, and the weight ofinvisible expectations.

This isn’t a story about escape—it’s a story aboutrealignment.

He opens up about losing his professional self, navigatingthe disorienting middle space of migration, and slowly rediscovering meaningthrough entrepreneurship, contribution, and self-awareness.

Today, he helps others find their voice, not because healways had his, but because he knows what it’s like to lose it.
