I wrote that down “what’s the most important thing you could be doing right now?” I’ll use that question in every area of my life moving forward so I can always focus on what’s going to bring the most benefits and impact towards that specific area. That is indeed a great question to ask yourself often. Thank you for sharing your story and experience with us, much appreciated.
*what’s the most impactful thing you could be doing?*
cringe af
The worst decisions are made by oversimplification of life. Life is complicated and we’re the product of our decisions. So those motivational snippets might lead to a disaster. Questions followed questions until the point you can’t literally give any sane answers. Such as: what’s the important thing I could be doing? Short term? Sit straight and drink water. Long term? Give your parents a call. Then you find yourself as working for your bills
Stepping down to allow someone more passionate and a better fit for the role is so incredibly rare...especially in Silicion Valley that filled with so many egos and emphasis on titles. This was the most impressive segment I've seen in a while... Thanks for posting!
Especially when you stepped into crypto 😂
Incredible! It's quite rare to find a combination of self-awareness, sharpness, ambition and humility. Stepping up and down as necessary.
Be like Sisun!!
I think you just put my thoughts into words…even more succinctly!
"I think great things are never built by people who knew how do things all along, but by those who have the resilience and grit to try, fail, and iterate towards their mission". That's give me more hope now, I am on my way to start my first startup. Thanks for sharing
We are glad this story gave you a support. Good luck on your journey :)
This entire interview blew me away! So much wisdom in one human…phenomenal!
Super inspiring! Great things are never build by people who knew how to do things all along, but by those who have the resilience and grit to try, fail, iterate towards their mission.
Dude seems to be an incredibly savvy and self-aware businessman and entrepreneur. Impressive stuff - keep on building!
'Novelty and exploration' part hits me. Thank u for sharing your story.
this guy just seems like a solid nice guy..I like his energy, nice story very nice..thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing your life!!! What an inspirational journey.
eo가 이런 점이 좋아요. 전에 인터뷰했던 창업가들, 기업가들을 다시한번 찾아가서 인터뷰하는 점. 너무 흥미롭습니다. 또 다른 동기부여가 되었어요. 다시 한번 파이팅 해야겠어요 🤟
I feel the same way after being at FAANG for almost 7 years. Sometimes big great companies offer you comfort but not growth.
Always big fan of what you do, Sisun!
very inspiring. thank you for sharing your story!
Greetings from Korea. I was inspired by you w/ Morelabs and have been following. You are a trooper! Keep on troopin!
Ayyyy another fellow Waterloo engineering student. Definitely impressed by a lot of the students here.
such a great content that inspires me a lot, thanks...and keep it going !!
Very nice video. I needed this. Inspirational 🙏🏾
Really amazing to listen to Sisun’s story and it is very inspiring!
That's a genuine guy! Thanks for sharing!
i like this guy,buffed and has the right mentality
아무생각없이 플레이한 영상인데 너무 좋네요 ㅌㅇ 멋져요!!
This was very personal and real. Nice, I enjoy these types of interviews.
2편에서 현재 사업을 설명해주실 모습이 벌써 보입니다! 끊임없이 성장하는 시선님에게 자극 받고 오늘도 다시 도전하겠습니다👍🏻👍🏻
좋은 영상 감사합니다. 많이 배웠습니다.
몇년전에 EO채널에서 보고 너무 멋있다고 생각해서 인스타그램 팔로우하고 있었는데 이렇게 시선님에 대한 영상이 또 올라오니 반갑네요 ㅎㅎ 정말 멋진 분 같습니다
Such good interview Thanks!
Wonderful openness, thanks for sharing
Awesome to watch... i also had similar experience, but i worked most as consulting innovation in different companies to find or build new products or ways to sell or make new designs. They all had the times to rebuild them self to stay in the market. I love my work, because its always a challenge to help companies like yours. I think its total "normal" that a challenge is always a chance, and that only hard work can build something what we customers love. In the same time, I learned that's unbelievable important to have a clear written down vision, were you want to stay in 15 years with the company. Otherwise companies often lose their target and run in a circle. Many companies don't have a vision. They only have a mission = mission statement. But this is not enough. I enjoyed watching this "interview". Always nice and helpful to learn from other peoples mistakes and learning and mix it with own experience.
Thank you for enjoying this video. And also thank you for sharing your experience as well!
Thank you! You are my Hero!
최고입니다! 듣고싶던 얘기:)
감명깊게 잘봤습니다 감사합니다😊
Wow. Thank you for sharing this with the world. So helpful and inspirational.
Thank you so much! Saved!!!
진짜 EO 초창기에 나와서 많이 돌려봤는데 또 배우고 감
좋은 영상 감사합니다.
Loved this! Thanks for producing & sharing.
it is very amazing
❤ Waterloo!! Used to recruit from there for years!
This man made my vision so much clear incredible god bless him.
👏 great job!
Super inspiring, listening to stories like Sisun’s give me hope for my success in the future.
You are a real quality guy.
이전 인터뷰랑은 분위기가 다르시네요
잘 보겠습니다
리더십이 느껴지는 영상이엇습니당
great interview
Very nice.. I love it!
정말 좋은 인터뷰에요
Incredible ride!
This guy is amazing 👏
That's one good life journey story...
Excellent video
Thank you for the video
시선님, 어려운 시간이었을텐데 깊은 내면의 고민들 솔직하게 나눠주셔서 감사합니다. 젊은 나이에 하기 힘든 지혜로운 결정 내리셨네요. 앞으로도 꾸준히 이어나갈 새로운 도전에도 응원 보냅니다!
Makes a lot of sense
@@mpumi1024 yeah that guy didn't need to write a poem just to tell us that he likes kimchi
@@georgemartyn5268 tell me you are racist without saying you are racist
@@LA_NY am not! i totally love vietnamese food
🤘Thank you Sisun for sharing your story. Can’t wait for you to talk about Xoju and Ramper in the next episode.
Some questions I would like to ask in person: Xoju seems like a business that marketing and branding is so crucial, so how come you start such business when you’re not interested in marketing? Also what led you to Ramper (of all the different services and projects in Web3, why web3 SDK?)
Wow this is crazy I’m study systems design eng at Waterloo now!
so inspiring
This changes my perspective on PMs because the ones that I have seen only schedule meetings and assign tickets that the software developers create, like they don’t do that much
Thank you
Guys ! The format is great, can we find these video in podcasts version ?
This was a nice video
Title should be. 10’years of cheap VC money to back projects that can’t profit so they can go public and cash out
😅
Exactly :-))
Amen
😂😂
Lol. Yes!
inspiring
대박!!!! 진짜 응원했는데 잘됐어요!
You got yourself a follower
Wow that's inspirational. Although I do think he got really lucky on the journey. Meeting the right people combined with a sense of curiosity in the projects he was doing.
Yes the right person with enough motivation coupled with exceptional opportunities, has a high chance of getting great results. There ar epeople doing what he is doing and you won't hear about them because they are failing, going bankrupt, struggling etc, you only hear the success stories
I love this guy 🥲
It's easy to say "let's keep on trying", but let me ask, "Who is going to pay for all these failures ?" At the end of the day, it's all about the amount of money you have to sustain you through all these failures. A CEO's job for a start-up it's actually very simple...."begging for money". If you somehow can beg someone to give you lots of money, then you can afford to have more failures, but if no one gives you the money, there will be no trying for failures, no matter how much tenacity you have. It's all about the $$$$.
Good video
Very honest and insightful interview
Cool
🇨🇦
Systems grad! Yes
❤️
Key Takeaways:
1. As PM, always ask "what's the most impactful thing you can do at the moment"?
2. Discover arbitrage opportunity - existing hangover recovery products in South Korea and other countries in Asia, and bring that back to silicon valley
3. It's less about how smart you are, but the grit you got.
Bro was in Kenya??Dreams.
Sometimes come talk in our universities.
From Kenya
31 years old ….???? Maaaannnn😢
09:00 to 9:20 That's the reason while Silicon Valley fails at digitising brick and mortar retail :D
So random, I've been in Kenya for the last 3 months doing the same thing!
I just have a feeling this video is part of a start up idea he is testing also
That was great. When is video 2 coming?
Sure thing!
@@entreprenuership_opportunities sorry, no I mean - when is it coming? It says 1/2 in the title. Really enjoyed this one, so was wondering when the next one is coming out?
@@JaydenLawson Hi Jayden, the second episode will be released at the end of this week!
전에 나오셨을때보단 뭔가 고생한 얼굴에 눈빛이 초점이 음...
Bruh he's jacked af
those images are not for the Kenyan suburbs but the slams.
What I want to hear from my old generation
Waterloo engineering 👀
Sorry, I tought it was a Joma video.
뭔가 더글로리 전재준 캐릭터 닮으심
He looks massive in the thumbnail 😮
Things that I learned from 10 years in Silicon Valley: Nothing 🎉 (joke)
Yeah you're clearly going to do something else based on my experience too, where are the newton cotes jobs anyways
I'm from Kenya and of all the things in Kenya, the images of the slums were the things he found worth sharing 😂🚮
I don't like the ideology of saying "world class", it takes time and years to build that around a business organically, consistently and sustainably
He does NOT look 31, sorry
:D
Whole bunch of nothing learned from this except that once your company starts making a decent amount of money, you're probably going to sell it/make someone else do your work.
Thumbnail doesnt do him justice. Ever since steve jobs, black turtle necks have been abused by and now associated to scammers.
Thumbnail is supposed to represent money, not companies.
He looks old for a 31 year old.
Well he worked a lot
What a hack
영어좀 하는데?ㅎ
