#216 Alex Dwek | A community should exist both online and offline to be truly strong

Alex Dwek is the Chief Operating Officer at Nas Company, leading operations for Nas.io and Nas Academy. With a background in strategy and operations, Alex held leadership roles at Grab and Uber across Southeast Asia. He is a Chartered Accountant and a graduate of The University of Manchester, currently based in Singapore. In this episode, I sat down with Alex to reflect on some of today’s most pressing questions—how do we build authentic community in an increasingly digital world? We dive into how the poison of social media might also hold the cure, unpack the brokenness of the online job market, and question what skills truly matter in times of uncertainty and crisis. Drawing from his experiences in Singapore and East Asia, Alex brings fresh perspectives on leadership, strategy, and the power of values-driven action. Ultimately, this conversation is a deep dive into the complexity of human connection—one grounded in the belief that true community must be substantiated by physical presence, touch, and the simple, irreplaceable experience of being together.
