Bintang is the founder of ByBinzu that provide naturally dyed goods and shibori workshops. I know him since we were kids, it's a really happy sight to see his life was filled with colors as he dive into the world of shibori making (As I can see from his fingers), and it was such a heart warming experience as I listen to his story on how now he is doing what a six grader Bintang always dreamed of. It is not always an easy journey as he shared his main struggles as a business owner, and how its such a confusing yet enjoyable ride realising his purpose in life that is somehow related to giving knowledge to his community about natural dyes and natural dyed goods.

In this episode Dai will be sharing his journey on becoming an animator and musician, two of the passions he juggled daily. Our conversation was full of laughs when he shared that he didn't even know how to balance between being an animator and a musician, he just have to do it with a strong sense of motivation, good health, and positive mindset contradicting to an advice he once heard to not juggle two careers at the same time. His love for music and animations reflected once we talked about Rebelsuns (His band), Pixar, and of course the progress of Indonesia's animation industry. "Fake it till you make it" was his go to phrase to keep his self - confidence, positive mindset, and push through every struggle to achieve his future goals.

I am a proud friend cause she now owns her own clothing brand MAEN KAEN that provide ethnic ready - to - wear clothes incorporated with Indonesia's kain tenun. She shared her passion through MAEN KAEN, as it was merely a final year project but she decided to continue the brand herself. It was also challenging as she currently study in New York city and her business is back in Indonesia, but through her dedication, love, and support from her family and friends she was still able to juggle her business and studies. Not forgetting her tips for upcoming fashion entrepreneurs in Indonesia and how it's like having to run your own clothing line in this fast moving industry.
