Asia Dang is a 20 year old college student and the founder and CEO of Defined Thread, an online clothing boutique that she started very recently. I have been friends with Asia for quite a while now, as some of you may know I grew up in Illinois until I was 16 and Asia was a good friend of mine for the past couple years I lived there. I wanted to get her on the podcast because as long as I've known her she has been extremely hard working. She talks about it briefly, but for may years she also was a YouTube blogger posting makeup tutorials and anything else related to beauty and fashion. In the episode, she talks about how she began working from a young age and developed a strong work ethic right away and even purchased her first car before she even had a license so we even talk a little bit about managing your money effectively from a young age to avoid the debt trap. As you'll hear in the interview, Asia also stresses the importance of maintaining authenticity in whatever it is you do.
