In 2026, what if the real measure of wealth is not a bank balance, but health? In this episode of Building Financial Fitness, Keshet Agritech co-founder Puay San’s journey from wealth management into food and agriculture sparks a broader look at how modern food has changed, why convenience and shelf life often come before nutrition, and what that means for our energy, health, and ability to perform.

What do waiting tables, running errands, and random side jobs have to do with long term success? In this episode of Building Financial Fitness, we chat with Zen about how menial work shaped his mindset, character, and approach to life.
