    Season 2. Ep3: Advice from an Entrepreneur: Building a Business

    In this episode, our special guest Wei Jing Saw, Founder of Knitly, tells us the story behind her business, passion, and inspiration. From experiencing burnout from her previous job, Wei Jing brought her passion to life and started her new business, Knitly.  Knitly was founded on the conviction of Wei Jing's passion for knitting and its unique ability to expand satisfaction, wellness, and a sense of community in a workplace setting. Wei Jing explains that given our overly stimulated minds, an opportunity to step away from a desk and focus on an activity that is three-dimensional, tactile, and relaxing also allows the mind to wander just enough to return to work refreshed and inspired.    The podcast conversation continues by talking about the importance of company cultures, and how activities such as knitting will benefit a team's cultural development. Wei Jing explains how a knitting session can help workers ground themselves in the present, share an experience with colleagues, and disconnect for a moment from a hectic day.   As an entrepreneur, Wei Jing encourages people to incorporate their passion into their daily life, and at the same time, she offers advice on how to do it. The podcast ends by talking about the importance of finding the right business partner and having positive reinforcement to succeed in the entrepreneurial world.   Want more information about Knitly?

This workshop integrates stretches and deep breathing to enhance the meditative qualities of knitting.   Together with instructors from Knitly, we will learn how to make a cozy cowl - don't worry, we'll have all the materials including a yarn buffet for you to pick a favorite color!   No prior experience is necessary. Just bring yourselves, some crafty ambition, and a little something to sip while we get our knit on!
