Inspiring and raw conversation with Michelle Hu, founder of founder of Etoile Collective, online beauty accessories store with operations in Melbourne and recently New York.
Hear Michelle share her sunrise with immigrant parents moving to Australia from China, and instilling the importance of working and studying hard. You will hear Michelle talk about how seeing her parents not have much inspire her to make the most of her opportunities and recently she was able to buy her parents a house, which is very inspiring.
This show just last week ranked #16 (!!!!) in Australia in the careers category. I am still lost for words but a massive thank you to you for listening to the episodes, supporting the show and please continue to share your feedback by messaging us on Instagram or contact me directly on LinkedIn.
