A Slice of Vai

Egi is somebody who motivated me and I really look up to him for that. He was an entrepreneur, he joined network marketing business, and now he is expanding his influence in the insurance industry. I want people to see that success is not trademarked by how much money they earned, or how famous they are, but a mindset they have, and that is something really rare for someone to have and I see that a lot from Egi. Please listen, open your mind, and realise that you can really make a change, start doing things that really brings value to you and others, and that's when you realise that YOU have the ability to be successful as any successful person you had seen.

Gary is somebody I look up to and admire since I was young and now I have the privilege to talk to him about how he conquer his early twenties. From high school, college, and now work he is somebody who I personally has the ability to lead. He really took the time to try different things, know his limit and risks, and he took that abilities to lead 150 people, and manage two other side businesses .

My first ever podcast as a trio! I had a lot of fun recording this podcast because I see myself in them in a lot of ways. Bernard and Theo are business owners, but recently become youtubers in purpose of giving value back to their community. They sparked when I asked them about advices they would give to youth in college and the steps they recommended to take to conquer their life afterwords, as they say "Never too late, but better start now" in knowing who you are and use our best strengths to conquer our life and achieve our goals.

Shane is one of the person who I look up to from a creative point of view. She is an illustrator, graphic designer, comic artist, and a gravity/ mural artist, but she rather be called as visual entertainer. As we converse, I realised that even though she is an introvert, she was able to take risk of making great connections and relationships and follow her passion in the creative industry. She uncovers different creative worlds and find herself through the journey.

Welcome back to A Slice of Vai! Can't Believe it's already ten episodes for the conquering early twenties series!!

It's amazing how she can get fit, get paid, and giving positive influence at the same time.

Helmy Rianda is the co-founder of DOOgether a tech startup company that focuses on providing easy access for people to find workout studios and memberships. I first met Helmy at an event that we both attend and I was curious on his journey building DOOgether together with his friend and now his team. He will be sharing the struggles on building a tech startup, growing their merchant, angel investors, how he set his daily activities, and not to mention his favorite workout routine. Can't believe a 25-year old can really do this, he gave me such inspiration to do more for our community.

On this new episode of Conquering Early 20s I invite my friend Maitri who is an architect, illustrator, and a poetry lover on her journey finding her identity through her work. I admire her creativity and how she poured her thoughts into sentence as we converse through this podcast. Finding who we really are is an never ending process, Maitri shared her point of view that it's never about searching of who we are, but rather creating who we are, and starting is the greatest fear and milestone of each individual will have. Not forgetting the story of why architects wear blacks, the three-eyed red haired girl, and her incredible list of Indonesian young artists to discover.
