TechShake Interviews #2 - Oliver Segovia of AVA Online Group Inc.

AVA is the Philippines' only curated online store of premium, well-loved brands and design objects. In this podcast we talk with its founder, Oliver Segovia, on how he started AVA with no fashion experience, whatsoever. He didn't treat that lack of knowledge as an impediment, but more of a challenge to overcome and an opportunity to learn. It's this no excuse attitude, which he finds important for entrepreneurs to have. This was a short podcast, but a must-listen for those who are struggling to get their startups started.
