Hello, everyone and welcome back to our weekly #GEMChats! This week, we'll discuss the results of the poll on whether #celebrities make successful #entrepreneurs!

Let's begin, shall we?

#startup #womenentrepreneur #business #showbiz
So recently @KylieJenner sparked a heated debate on how celebrities are successful at entrepreneurship when she was announced to become the youngest self-made #billionaire ever.

#KUWTK
Some feel strongly that she only dethroned #MarkZuckerberg from that position because she is part of the #Kardashian and her #entrepreneurial venture has multi-level of safety net and it allows her to #scaleup at an exponential rate.
However, @KylieJenner #KUWTK seems to be directly involved and #invested in her #business ventures. She personally promotes her products and while there are safety nets in place, it can be said that she has innate #entrepreneurship skills.

So let's look at more examples.
@jessicaalba co-founded The Honest Company, a USD$1-billion company which recently secured a USD$200 million investment.

Fortune: "Since Alba founded the eco-friendly Honest Co. in 2011 (sic), they expanded from selling natural baby products to home cleaning and beauty items".
#Male #celebrities like @RyanReynolds, George Clooney and @Drake have been known to venture into the #alcohol industry with Aviation Gin, Casamigos Tequila and Virginia Black Whiskey.

All three show #Entrepreneurship talent in addition to being #superstars in #showbiz.
Some #superstars also display #Entrepreneurship talent from investing in #startups and #tech. @JaredLeto is one such celebrity who has been found making well-timed bids for companies like Uber, Snapchat, and Spotify.

And @JaredLeto isn't alone. Scores of celebrities have done the same. @LeoDiCaprio recently invested in @MindMazeSA and @iamwill is also a keen investor in #tech #startup!

Ashton Kutcher @aplusk once wrote a piece on how and why he invests in #startups. You may read it here:

Locally in #Malaysia, a few #selebriti have also been known to have a knack for #business

One such example is Dato' Rosyam Nor, who is the first and only #artist to own and run a grocery store, ST Rosyam.

astroawani.com/berita-hiburan…
Other #artist #tempatan have been known to show #keusahawanan and #entrepreneurial talent through #businesses ranging from #clothing like @altimet and @SazzyFalakCLPT as well as show companies like @REALFAFAU and @faizalfbi76
Want to know more about #Malaysian #artists and their #entrepreneurial ventures? Tune in to eFM for the morning and evening BMO slots with @NanaMahazan. Tomorrow, Nana shares her own #entrepreneurship venture with #beauty products.

So while we can say #celebrities may have their #Entrepreneurship journey easier than others, most show genuine interests and aptitude for #business. Some even take it up a notch by becoming #investors to other companies.

Let's have our weekly #GlobalEChats and discuss the topic of #foodtech #delivery.

As #food is a necessity, it is natural that #entrepreneurs are lured into venturing in the F&B business. What more with #IR40, we often think of taking business one step ahead: by involving tech!
Now let's break this down into two types of niche within #fooddelivery and #fnb industry.

1. You own the restaurant and you are providing an additional delivery #service.

2. You don't own any restaurant and you are merely the delivery service.

The two are very different!
To help put points into perspective:

#1 is a classic example of pizza stores such as @DominosMY. Any #eatery can set up its own delivery system.

#2 is a rather new invention. Such examples would be @foodpanda_my and @GrabMY's GrabFood service!

This week, for #GlobalEChats I want to create a #thread to help any roadside, gerai, rickshaw stall owner on how they can embrace #tech in #IR40!

Tak semestinya kalau kita jual pisang goreng, kita tak boleh #techsavvy dalam era arus kemodenan internet kan?

Ini adalah thread!
Macam mana nak luaskan pasaran pelanggan kita? Kalau pelanggan tak datang ke gerai kita, kita gerak ke mana ada ramai pelanggan! Make yourself #mobile, use #foodtrucks.

Nak tahu macam mana nak start foodtruck? Dengar abang @Humblechef berkongsi cerita:
efm.live/episodes/ep17-…
Tapi kita kena consistent, lokasi kena ada separa-tetap (#semipermanent). Waktu jualan kena konsisten. Steadyyyyy. Ada juga perniagaan separa-#mobile seperti YooHoo Hot Dogs oleh @tonyeusoff.

Nak tahu jalan cerita #yoohooshack? Dengarkan kat sini:

Hello, everyone!

We're going to kickstart our weekly #GlobalEChats discussion thread. This week, we'll talk about #fitness #personal #trainer as #entrepreneurs and how #tech can change everything!

Ready? Let's go!
Let's first start with two possibilities in the future.

1. We no longer need humans as #PT personal trainers at the #gym or #field. All will be replaced by #tech and smart applications! 😲

2. Human PTs will still be demanded but will utilise #tech to improve their coaching!
Do you think #1 is truly possible? It seems a bit far-fetched, no?

Meet @ollinfit! Ollinfit is a set of three wearable sensors and smartphone app that work together as your personal trainer. Say what???

Using Ollinfit, you'll be able to workout without needing human coaching!

We'll talk about the success stories as well as how to foster their development 😊 Let's go! Feel free to add on to the thread with your own opinion and sharing.
Latest in Malaysia is the story of Ferris. Ferris merupakan usahawan cilik yang terpengaruh secara positif dengan siri Upin dan Ipin! It's good to see how entrepreneurship in an animated series can piqued children and their interest in entrepreneurship!

If you ask if there are more of such stories in #Malaysia, there are!

11 y.o Elisa Ahmad Sayuti and her friends got inspired by both their participation in Kelab Usahawan Cilik as well as seeing their parents who are also #entrepreneurs!

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.
