  • Going Global with Amy Zheng, Co-Founder of Amazin' Graze

    Amazin' Graze started life as a small home grown healthy snack brand for busy professionals like Amy. It is now a global brand, distributed throughout Asia and the US with a team of over 100 people.

    Amy wanted to take South East Asia's rich food history and delicious flavours and translate this into a scaleable healthy snack business.

    Franki and Amy talk about:

    • The importance of really understanding your customer;
    • How Amazin' Graze focused on crafting a brand that made "healthy" feel exciting, delicious, and - let's face it, sexy - at a time when a lot of health foods were boring and bland;
    • How the best returns come from backing yourself.

      • Business On The Rise is produced in collaboration with On The Rise and ASBHive and supported by Maybank Trustees Berhad.

      It takes a village to start a business. If you're looking for support as you launch, grow or fund your business, let On The Rise be yours.

    • Building COCOdry and so much more with Kim May Chee

      We're kicking things off by talking to Kim May Chee, founder of COCOdry about how she started and scaled a chain of blow dry bars here in Kuala Lumpur.


      As a hairstylist's daughter, Kim's journey started with not wanting to work in the hair industry at all. However, she did want to be an entrepreneur. She drank the #girlboss koolaid of the early 2000s, but soon realised that entrepreneurship was less glamour and more a journey of personal growth.


      Kim and Franki talk about:

      • Letting go of what you can't control. When you lean into this, what you can control will come;
      • Imposter syndrome grows as your business grows. The more you have to lose, the more you fear you have about whether your worthy of keeping it;
      • The importance of finding the right investors;
      • The responsibility she feels to pay it forward.


        • Business On The Rise is produced in collaboration with On The Rise and ASBHive and supported by Maybank Trustees Berhad.


        It takes a village to start a business. If you're looking for support as you launch, grow or fund your business, let On The Rise be yours.

      • Everything you need to launch, grow and fund your brand

        Launching a business is hard work, but you don't have to do it alone. Hi, I'm Franki. I'm the founder of Frankitas and co-founder of Bungalow18 by Frankitas. When I launched my bag brand Frankitas more than 10 years ago, I didn't have a guide book. Instead, I leaned on the support of other business owners around me. This podcast is a series of conversations with the female entrepreneurs in South-East Asia I admire most. It's the guide book I wished I had when I started my business, and I hope it helps you as you launch, grow and fund your brand.
