After moving to Hong Kong, self-confessed skin-care lover Winona Tan decided to start her own skincare company - without any experience of working in the skincare industry. Two years later, W.ANT skincare is stocked in many outlets including Robinsons and the Social Space. Offering a range of soothing cruelty-free, chemical-free and 100% ethical products of course we were interested in the journey she took to get here.

In this episode, we cover topics on what it’s like running an e-commerce business on your own, product development, sourcing suppliers, finding your skin type, superfoods to eat for your health, how to eliminate blackheads, what are these chemicals in skincare products such as retinol, AHAs and BHAs, benefits of Gua Sha facials and much much more!

After growing weary of the 9-5 life and the “power-point” day that came with working in a consultancy firm, Julies Geis realised it was time for a change. As a result, he founded ON ANY GIVEN MONDAY, one of the world’s first remote strategic branding agencies. By working remotely, Julius believes this motivates the individual through passion rather than paycheque.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do”

The 2% Mindset: only 2% of the population go for their dreams with confidence and excitement. Only 2% of the population choose happiness and fulfilment. Only 2% of the population get the most out of life by exploring new things and embracing the unknown. Only 2% of the population live life without limits and act in spite of fear. 

And the remaining 98% of the population?

They remain in their comfort zone and are content with just getting by. 98% of the population live their lives playing it safe, doing the right things and save themselves for some future event that never happens. 98% of the population enjoy being like everyone else and simply let life push them into submission because they have no guts. Deep down inside they are terrified of taking risks and end up settling for less.
