Instagram for the photo lovers

Sometimes you see it. Sometimes you don't. 🤭🤔 . Sometimes I want to know everything ahead of me. Sometimes it can be scary to know too much ahead. It's 20 days before the end of 2018. And a perfect moment to take more time to reflect and ask where we are and how we feel about it. ✨👏 . . What has 2018 been for me? Why? What do you wish to do differently? What would you do again? What do you hope to do more in 2019? Why?🤔 . . Each moment helps us be a better version of who we are. But it's still up to us to make a decision about it. ❤️ . . As I scroll through my old photos this photo series I took back in 2015 reminded me of that feeling. We were at Seorak Mountain in Korea. Took all the effort to get there but it was hazy. What do you do? Wait? Just go? It took 40 mins of wondering in the fog but when we got a glimpse of such view it felt magical and humbling. ✨ It reminds me how much we love each day in moments like this. And that it's up to us to make a difference. To live our best. With gratitude. And daring to dream bigger. . . . #2019 #reflection #startup #dream #rethinkcreativity #vision #korea #설악산 #한국 #명상 #Reflect #pause #2018

I just returned from #Singapore fully energized and humbled. 🇸🇬✨ . . As I started doing more projects abroad for @innovatorsbox, I've been hoping to make trips back to #Asia to bridge two worlds I care very much - #innovation and entrepreneurship in Asia and the U.S. Hence, when The Asia Foundation (@theasiafoundation) asked me to join them in leading the Innovation Slam at the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Summit (@yseali_official) by the U.S. Department of State this December in Singapore, I said "YES" in a heartbeat. 👋 . . The experience was powerful and inspiring.🎉 . . For 3 days I had the opportunity to stand in front of 150 innovators and entrepreneurs: 120 young professionals and YSEALI fellows from #ASEAN and 20+ U.S. entrepreneurs and innovators. Witnessing how strangers transformed into friends and teams building on projects from nothing was inspiring. Many shared how they felt "safe" to share their biggest dreams without feeling judged. 😄 . . This community, #YSEALI, is not created overnight. In the past 5 years, over 135,00 fellows have gone through a program to learn how they can bring more impact and partnerships in ASEAN and the U.S. I'm humbled to be part of this movement.✨ . . Look forward to returning again to ASEAN. ✈️ . . . .

Always enjoy playing tourist in my own city after a long round of trips. 🇺🇸☺️ There is truly no place like home. Loved spending time offline in my favorite places and with all the Christmas spirit. Ready now to start a new week! 🙌 #washingtondc #library #dc #tour #Christmas

If you are thinking of tech in Asia, #Singapore should be on your map. 🇸🇬 👏 After my duties, I had the opportunity to visit friends working and living in Singapore in various industries to refresh my learning of the country. As I visited places like @amazon, @unilever, @twitter, @facebook, and @wework, the patterns of growth opportunities was visible. . Here are some observations from my short trip. 👋✈️✨ . . 1) Most major tech companies see Singapore as a critical launch pad to SouthEast Asia and Asia. This includes big players from China. Which means if you aren't working here you are missing out. . . 2) The government is supporting this growth. If you find good partners and timing you may have a big win. . . 3) This is a good place to find great talent in Asia. From language, tech and education trained. . . 4) at the same time more are business minded instead of creative or tech. So more companies and leases are looking to tackle that gap. . . 5) If you are in #fintech, #blockchain, and #b2c tech, you should see Singapore as an opportunity to grow. . . 6) It's so much easier to get to know SouthEast Asia countries as they are near by. . . One thing is clear. I will be on the look out for opportunity to grow and learn more about the region as a business owner and educator too. . . #worktrips #rethinkcreativity #singapore #singapore #tech #innovation
