About this episode
What if a job most people wouldnโt think twice about became a seven-figure business? Zames Chew, Co-Founder of Repair.sg, comes into the studio to share how hands-on trade skills, not pitch decks, became his biggest competitive edge. From learning repairs on the ground to building a culture of trust, he is removing the stigma around blue-collar trades one customer at a time. We also go deep on why he once felt embarrassed to tell his peers about the business, and why upskilling himself was such a crucial part of his success.๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ค๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ช๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐จ๐๐ช๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ช๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง๐ฃ๐๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ค๐๐๐ฎ |https://yahlahbut.short.gy/UpskillToday๐ข๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ถ๐ผ๐ธ ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ดHaresh: Pay phone connecting people in liberal San Francisco to conservative Texas in new social experimentTerence: Federerโs Agent on Leaving Nike, Building a Tournament, & More w/ Tony GodsickZames: The Social Network (2010)๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐!Drop us an email at contact@ministryoffunny.com!
