In order to create world-class Japanese brands, Shingo Yuhara, Masafumi Nishizawa, and Michael (Akira) Takahashi are building foundations for sustainable growth, helping e-commerce entrepreneurs solve business challenges, and building comprehensive teams capable of supporting a wide range of business needs.

My experience as a pilot has taught me the importance of decision-making and that indecisiveness can be a death sentence, even for a startup. 

I believe that forest is at the forefront of this shift, and we are consciously building a company with a culture and mentality that can help build brands that can compete on the global stage.

Three founders from Taiwan and Hong Kong share where they find their drive, their confidence, and their voice.

For entrepreneurship, I would like to share with you one of my favorite quotes by Benjamin Mee from the movie We Bought a Zoo: “You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.”

“It’s only about you and who you want to be, but not [about being] someone’s daughter, or sister, or wife, or mother.”

We've gotten a ton of lift in the last two to three years from a renewed focus from businesses on sustainability, transparency and surety—to do things the right way and be able to report on it,” says Rihn. “That's driven waste and recycling from being a bit of an afterthought for most businesses to a c-suite issue.

I actually spent a summer working at my fiancé’s dad’s plant – General Motors plant – as a Riveter.  I put myself through college by riveting bumpers for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

When they saw me, they all got up to move to the opposite side of the table. I asked why, and the best English speaker among them replied, 'If we have to do business with a woman, we prefer to look at her.'

But once I got over it, I had no more fear. I was still there! And, I would never be afraid of public failure again.

At one point a recruiter told me I was washed up. He was right! ...Even if I didn’t feel represented by it, I treated it as valid info. But I did call bullshit. That’s when I decided to start my own company. I was at the bottom, and I came back. I was right.

Arts – and supporting women – are really important in shaping the future.
