Have you ever wondered what it takes to open a business on the other side of the world from your home? In today’s episode, Alex sits down with Tobias Briffa, a Maltese serial entrepreneur that took the Vietnamese market by storm with his innovative approaches to business. 

Tobias explains how volunteering in India, working and teaching in the slums, changed his values and inspired him to start his own businesses. Despite the challenging conditions, Tobias was inspired by the joy and optimism of the people he met. After traveling around India and working for Lenovo, Tobias moved to Vietnam, where he gained experience working for global corporations before starting his own agency. But his real passion was for creating his own product, which led to the creation of Te Te Brew Company, a craft beer brewery, and most recently Kashew Cheese, a plant-based artisan cheese and dairy alternatives maker.

Tobias’ story is a testament to the power of perseverance and following your passions. He went from volunteering in India to working in advertising for major corporations before finally starting his own businesses. His experience has taught him the importance of learning from others and taking their ideas and methodologies with you when starting your own venture. Tobias' businesses showcase his creativity and willingness to take risks, and are proof of his entrepreneurial spirit. 

We are sure that listening to Tobias’ story can inspire you to make a positive impact and start your own entrepreneurial journey today, if you are passionate enough about it.
