My very special guest for today is someone I met at Mindvalley’s Awesomeness Fest in Phuket, Thailand. This transformational event was a gathering of existing and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to make a difference in the world through bold, revolutionary and innovative means.

With me today is Chin Xin-Ci who is an Internet marketer and technology entrepreneur. Her narrow escape from a kidnapping attempt prompted her find an entrepreneurial solution for women’s safety worldwide.

Her solution was to co-create a mobile application called Watch Over Me, aimed at making women more secure while they are out alone.

In this interview, Xin-Ci shares:

How she managed to escape a kidnapping attempt in 2012 that occurred in broad daylight, in a busy, public space.

Why lack of safety for women in public spaces is still such a problem in this day and age.

How Watch Over Me app works to improve security for women when they are going about their business alone.

Some of the mistakes she made in developing & launching her mobile app, and what she’d do differently.

What she thinks is the most effective way to change the world and how to make your life really matter.
