Start Before You're Ready - David Ongchoco #05

Listen Later

David admits to being a naïve optimist. He started multiple things before knowing how much work it would really take such as becoming a writer for Inc. Magazine and Huffington Post (thanks to a cold email to Ariana Huffington herself), founding YouthHack in the Philippines and launching  chapters in several countries, starting an outsourcing business in Manila while finishing his Computer Science degree at the University of Pennsylvania, and his continued exploration of the world of tech and investing.

David shows the power of starting even before you're ready and how to establish meaningful relationships that can lead to rewarding experiences.

We discuss: 

  • Sending cold emails and reaching out to busy people
  • Developing relationships and how that leads to new opportunities 
  • Managing your time and priorities to avoid toxic productivity 
  • The start up scene in the Philippines and South East Asia
  • Investments needed to improve the start up scene in the Philippines 
  • Why technology is such an exciting space post pandemic
