Listen to her conversation about the children's book Jordan and the Magic Cape, which by the way can be downloaded for free from SFU Library.  Sophia Nguyễn is a third year business student who is also involved in numerous organizations such as Enactus SFU, the Student Marketing Association, and Female Laboratory of Innovative Knowledge.

He is on a mission to bring healthy beverages (kombucha for now) to underserved communities, or as he likes to describe it: the love triangle between Starbucks Reserve, Kombucha, and a Private Clubhouse. As the pandemic hit, the thought of death didn't terrify him, but the thought of not making the world a better place did - for him, it's creating a healthier world. Instagram: @danakinseah @chambaeco. Caleigh Smith is a recent graduate of SFU and Make Change Studio! She loved discovering the creativity and design aspects of business through Make Change Studio and is excited to apply this learning to future projects.

    Episode 05: Make Change Studio with Asad Aftab

    My question today is how do we know exactly what our passion is? How to detach ourselves from an idea in pursuit to discover our vision? How do we know its time to pivot? Is your passion more important or your idea? Are they the same thing? To answer these and many more questions, my guest today is Asad Aftab. Asad is a graduate from the University of Warwick, who started his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 18, long before he even knew his passion was to study the business sides of things. Mistaken to believe he was born to learn English literature and write poetry, somewhere along the way, he found out he was actually good at exploring his entrepreneurial mind. Till date, Asad has co-founded 10 companies around sports, textiles and digital marketing. Recently when the Pandemic hit, Asad’s years of experience and wisdom, helped him to quickly pivot and launch a made-to-wear sports garment under the existing umbrella of his current company called Rage Customs.

    Episode 04: Make Change Studio with Iman Shoaib

    My question today is how do we start small and slow. How can we be consistent in our efforts to improve our products, services or whatever that we offer through our venture, to achieve the desired results. I always wanted to have a conversation with a person, who knowing that we are in a pandemic situation worldwide, steps into the unknown realms of starting a venture and making it a success. To explore our question further our guest today is Iman Shoaib, who is a research scientist by education with a background in Biotechnology. During her education, she worked briefly with a state-of-the-art molecular laboratory ‘Sime Darby’ in Malaysia, before she moved to Pakistan, where she worked as a Research Scientist at an Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Rawalpindi under the Department of Forensic Medical Science. There she got an opportunity to be involved in several molecular diagnostic procedures including Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), library preparation and identifying common regions of cancer genes persisting among Pakistani population. She was honoured to be selected by the National Academy of Sciences Engineering and Medicine in Washington DC) for a training program that is run in collaboration with National Institute of Health Sciences (NIH Pakistan) and Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI, Kenya). During all of this, there has always been this innate desire to investigate the skincare products that lead to the countless hours she spent on formulating and integrating skincare regimes which she now proudly shares with others. As a scientist, having more than 8 years of hands-on experience in the field of research enabled Iman to understand and appreciate the amazing properties of organic plant based essential oils. Iman’s passion about skincare and balanced nutritional lifestyle lead her to start working on products made from pure ingredients that she would personally use herself and would share with people closed to her. This initial exploratory venture later evolved into ‘IORA soaps and balms’. IORA aims to help individuals address long-term skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis as well as hair loss issues. Her products aim to provide aromatherapy along with topical solutions to help invigorate the mind, body and soul. IORA is proud to offer eco-friendly packaged products, 100% organic, vegan and free of preservatives.
