About this listen

🎙️ What happens when a post-university backpacking trip turns into a decade-long entrepreneurial journey through Thailand’s tourism & medical industries?

Meet Callum Platt — his story is a masterclass in 💪 resilience, 🔄 adaptation, and finding opportunity where you least expect it.

🌴 From Tourist to Business Owner

In 2013, a young English traveler runs out of money in Thailand and takes bar work on Phi Phi Island. What starts as a quick fix soon grows into multiple thriving businesses — yacht charters, bars, restaurants, and even a health café. For 8 years, life was golden… until COVID-19 shut it all down overnight.

⚡ The Reset That Changed Everything

Instead of giving up, Callum reinvented himself. Moving to Phuket, he focused on health & fitness and built new, more resilient ventures. His wellness path eventually led him to Icellaré Phuket, Thailand’s pioneering stem cell therapy center, where he now bridges international clients with cutting-edge treatments.

🧬 Inside Thailand’s Medical Revolution
This conversation dives deep into treatments few Westerners know exist:

🌱 Autologous stem cell therapy that may prevent surgeries & aid neurological recovery

🧠 Genetic testing to uncover vitamin deficiencies no supplement stack can fix

🏥 World-class medical facilities that feel more like luxury hotels — no long waits, instant specialist access

💡 Who Should Watch

Expats curious about life & opportunity in Thailand 🇹🇭

Anyone passionate about longevity, biohacking, or regenerative medicine

Listeners who love stories of reinvention and turning setbacks into success 🌅

🔥 Whether you're exploring health optimization or just love inspiring real-life journeys, this episode proves that sometimes our biggest setbacks become the gateway to our most meaningful life chapters.
