    #25 - Building a Bridge W/ Jin Chen Inventor Extraordinaire of Planeket

    Some times we see a problem and then just go about fixing it! In this episode, we were joined by Jin Chen a successful entrepreneur and business owner. From business consulting, e-commerce, travel, winter clothing, real estate, and the Planeket she has stayed very busy pushing a path forward in life! Not everyone is looking to be a part of so many businesses but she manages to successfully take part in many things in life. We focus on two main businesses at this time: BrillCon and Planeket. Born and raised in China, Jin moved to Alaska after her sophomore year at China University of Petroleum.  After receiving her bachelor’s degree in accounting and her MBA from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Jin pursued a public accounting career for three years before forming Alaska Skylar Travel in the spring of 2015 to develop the largest Chinese-focused tour operation in Alaska.  Since she joined the company, Alaska Skylar Travel revenue has grown more than tenfold, and its staff has expanded from 10 to 50 employees.      Since her first start-up at 17 years old, Jin's passion has been helping new businesses take off and optimizing existing businesses. She took that passion and melded it with her love of her home country. She has helped many business owners and travelers enjoy what both countries have to offer! She is a bridge between two countries that many times are at odds with each other. She is a much-needed resource for both countries' business owners!
