In this episode of Sean’s Learning Adventure, I sit down with international pageant coach Jethro Sulayao for a powerful conversation about confidence, communication, mindset, personal growth, and what it really takes to reinvent yourself.

We talk about his journey from teaching English in Vietnam to coaching beauty queens for the international stage, and how he balanced stability with passion instead of making reckless moves. What really stood out to me was his belief that mindset comes before performance, that before someone can own the stage, answer under pressure, or carry real presence, they have to believe in who they are first. We also get into executive presence, authenticity, stage confidence, handling pressure, finding your voice, and why real success comes from showing up consistently, trusting your value, and choosing growth every single day. This is a conversation about communication skills, self-belief, resilience, personal branding, and becoming the kind of person who does not copy the standard, but sets it.

What is one area of your life where you know it is time to stop playing safe and start becoming more fully yourself?

In this episode of the Growing Money with Sean Trace podcast, I sit down with Vietnamese artist and Miss World Vietnam finalist Mai Phuong to talk about confidence, creativity, and the courage it takes to reinvent yourself. We dive into her transition from beauty pageants into music, the inspiration behind her song Queenergy, and how working with producers DTAP helped her discover her authentic voice as an artist.

Mai Phuong shares how self-confidence, boldness, and authenticity became the foundation of her music and personal growth. We talk about the importance of mentors, learning from the right people, and how great teachers can completely change the trajectory of your life. She also opens up about the pressure of maintaining a public image while still trying to express herself creatively, and how embracing imperfection has helped her connect more deeply with her audience.

Along the way, we explore the power of music to shape our energy, how posture and mindset affect confidence, and why believing in yourself is often the first step toward success. Mai Phuong also talks about writing music in English, performing internationally, and how language can open doors to new collaborations, ideas, and opportunities around the world.

This conversation is about more than music. It is about identity, resilience, and the bold decision to step into your own story, even when the path ahead is uncertain.

If confidence really is a form of energy, what would change in your life if you chose to show up every day with a little more of it?
