We are back with a new episode, this time featuring a conversation I had with Quark Henares, Head of Globe Studios. Really enjoyed chatting with Quark, who is one of the most humble persons I've ever come across despite his numerous achievements and awards. His quiet confidence comes across as well as his mindset of not assuming he knows everything, again regardless of what he has accomplished in his career.

Join me in welcoming multi-awarded entrepreneur Reese Fernandez-Ruiz of Rags2Riches for Episode 50!!! Reese is the co-founder and President of one of the best and longest-running social enterprises in the Philippines. I first met Reese when my brother and I guest-enrolled in Ateneo for a Social Entrepreneurship course taught by Harvey Keh. And for that course, we all had to propose/pitch an idea for a social enterprise as the final requirement for the course. If I remember correctly, Reese and her group, got the highest mark for their idea that grew into Rags2Riches. In this interview, we talked about the origin of that idea, why social entrepreneurship is important for her, and how Rags2Riches is coping with the current pandemic. We discussed her leadership style, how she manages her work and productivity along with her family. Of course, we also touched on this huge milestone for Reese and her team - landing a landmark partnership with IKEA! *jaw dropped* Follow Reese @reesefernandez and her team @rags2richesinc and tag them (and me) to let us know you're listening to this episode!

Do you find yourself dwelling on the past? Shouldn't have done this, should have done that. While it's true the situation you find yourself in now is because of the past, nothing can change that now. Focus instead of what you can still change.

To say that my guest for this episode and I go way back is an understatement as Crystal Lee Gonzales and I were actually blockmates during our first year in UA&P. It's been great to see her successes in her career and especially with this new venture that she's launching this month called Pick.A.Roo, the premium all-in-one delivery app! When we recorded this a few weeks ago, Pick.A.Roo was still in stealth mode but it's obvious I was excited to talk to her about this considering one of her previous stops was Honestbee. Yes, the Honestbee that everyone loved (I myself was a loyal customer) but unfortunately did not work out due to certain "challenges" which we also touched on during this interview. I certainly appreciate her openness to talk about that time as it was a very difficult time for her as the Country Manager who was leading things here successfully but had to suddenly explain to stakeholders and customers here why the service was shutting down. Her grit and resilience to overcome that and emerge stronger than ever is something we can all draw on for sure. Watch out for the launch of Pick.A.Roo, I for one am looking forward to what Crystal and her team have been working on.

Having the mindset of not quitting when things are tough allows you the opportunity to learn from your failures in order to eventually learn how to win. After all, failure is feedback so repeat this to yourself as often as needed: "It's not over until I win!"
