The Power of Clarity in Business and Life
Episode 1601
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026
What if success isn’t about chasing the next exit, but about finally knowing what’s enough?In this Season 16 episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with entrepreneur Jermaine Ee, founder of HeirLight, for a powerful conversation about clarity, legacy, and building businesses that truly matter.Jermaine Ee’s entrepreneurial instincts showed up early — from selling custom mixtapes in school to pioneering YouTube product placement years before influencer marketing became mainstream. Since then, he’s built and worked across industries including toys, media, politics, and technology.But his most meaningful work came from a personal realization: his parents didn’t lack money — they lacked clarity. That insight led Jermaine to create HeirLight, an AI-powered estate planning platform designed to remove fear, shame, and confusion from conversations about assets, legacy, and life planning.Together, Tyler and Jermaine unpack what it means to design your life intentionally, why not every business should raise venture capital, and how self-awareness is often the missing ingredient in entrepreneurship.
