Jeff Jimenez was grinding in corporate finance when a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis flipped his life upside down. Instead of slowing down, he launched Love Jane, a fashion brand worn by Miss Universe and featured on Netflix, while undergoing chemo.

In this raw conversation, he shares:

• Why he built a business instead of "just traveling" after his diagnosis
• How cancer erased his ego but sharpened his ambition
• The unfiltered truth about success: "You won’t regret missing a deal on your deathbed. You’ll regret missing moments."
• Why celebrities in the Philippines loved his brand (and what it taught him about authenticity)

A story of resilience, ruthless priorities, and rebuilding your life when everything falls apart.

In Part 2 of our conversation, Alex Liang, fashion influencer turned real estate creative, gets real about:

• The downside of social media fame ("I’m more private than people think")
• Navigating identity as an Asian man in fashion ("I had no role models—so I made my own rules")
• Why he walked away from the influencer world ("It got boring… and gross")
• His surprising definition of freedom now (Hint: It’s not followers or fame)
• The cultural belief he outgrew ("Saving face? I never bought into that")

Plus, the small joys that keep him grounded (hello, garden therapy) and the one thing he’s proudest of: trusting his gut.

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by labels, or wondered what comes after “success”, this is for you.

Named one of Canada’s Top Style Influencers, Alex Liang isn’t just an influencer, luxury brand collaborator, and a Partner of the luxury real estate agency Engel & Völkers. He’s a quiet rebel who traded the glitz of social media fame for a life of deeper purpose. In this candid first installment of our two-part conversation, Alex opens up about:

• The paradox of being "Asian but not Asian enough" - growing up Chinese-Canadian in a privileged yet culturally ambiguous world
• Why he walked away from influencer culture - and what he learned about authenticity in the age of oversaturation
• The hidden rules of fashion, status, and identity - from New York’s elite circles to Toronto’s creative scene
• Socioeconomic truths no one talks about - why money and access shape identity more than race alone
• His early "borderline boring" rebellion - and how it fueled his leap into entrepreneurship

For anyone who’s ever felt caught between expectations and authenticity, Alex’s journey from Kenton Magazine founder to luxury real estate creative, offers a masterclass in rewriting the rules.

Part 2 drops next, where we dive into his career pivots, creative reinventions, and the surprising hobbies that keep him grounded. Follow @AsianRebelClub to stay tuned!
