In this episode, you will meet Mayuree Aroonwaranon, the CEO and co-founder of GEPP Sa-Ard Co., Ltd., a Bangkok-based company that helps companies in Thailand with waste management. 


Yet her story didn’t begin in waste management.


This French-speaking Thai national who grew up in the slum area of Bangkok has an inspiring story to share about herself and why she gave up a lucrative career in oil and gas to become an entrepreneur. 


Coming from a challenging background and growing up in the slums, Mayuree has always had a heart for her community. She was determined to make a positive impact but she didn’t know how until she chanced upon a news article that said every Thai person throws away 1.14 kg of rubbish a day.


She said she was clueless when she read the headline - was that a huge amount of rubbish? 


That took her and her co-founders down a rabbit hole of finding answers.and that's how they started their company which focuses on businesses and organisations using their digital platform. Their GEPP platform (hardware and software) helps companies to shift their mindsets from "dispose" to "manage" their waste successfully.

This episode is with Wendy Lim who is the founder of Wei Ling Chambers in, Malaysia. 


She owns a boutique law firm in Kuala Lumpur and handles initial public offerings, securities regulations, mergers and acquisitions, foreign direct investments and more. 


As a young female lawyer, she is not unusual in that she chose to set up her law firm after working with other law firms.


What’s unusual is that Wendy has always wanted to be a lawyer since young and she still carries that fire and passion in her till today. 


What I find most interesting about Wendy is that she loves business and by helping her clients with their business needs, she gets to discover entrepreneurship too.


Far from being conservative or staid, this young female lawyer is showing the world that you can be a lawyer and you can still retain your individuality and be a risk-taker!

My is the CEO of EQuest Asia, a coaching and training business based in Vietnam. 


Despite never residing in Vietnam, My felt a profound calling to return to her ancestral homeland to establish her business.


She advocates for embracing happiness and fulfillment in the workplace while nurturing one's cultural identity, particularly among overseas Vietnamese and empowering women to find their voices. 


She is also a speaker, consultant and coach in corporate well-being, organizational change resilience and emotional intelligence.  


Born in France with Vietnamese heritage, My (pronounced "Mee" in Vietnamese) is a leader deeply immersed in cross-cultural experiences across various nations.


Interestingly, she was born on 20 March, the UN International Day of Happiness, a fact she interprets as more than mere coincidence. 


Her journey reflects a multicultural worldview, shaped by her upbringing in France, education in both France and the USA, and professional experiences spanning the USA, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, and New Zealand. 


It's a fascinating look at finding one's roots, embracing multiculturalism and being open to possibilities at every stage of one's life.
