Forging Your Own Path

Episode 81: Amber Chook is Co-founder of Zebra Global and Founder of TEDxRoppongi (an independently-organized TEDx event in Tokyo). Amber moved to Mie, Japan from Harbin, China at the age of 15, and she was placed in a high school that had low expectations for its graduates. Instead of following the standard path for women in the area, getting married and becoming a housewife, Amber pushed aside her high school responsibilities and religiously studied English on her own; then eventually pursued her college education at Hosei University in Tokyo.  In this episode, we discuss topics such as: Growing up in China and Japan Her interest and career in Blockchain technology Women empowerment in the tech/fin-tech sector Her passion for social impact   [Follow Amber Chook] Facebook | LinkedIn   [Amber Chook's Book Recommendations] The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People  The Alchemist   [Co-host] Jasmine Griner a.k.a Enlightize - @enlightize   [Social Links & RSS] RSS Feed: https://www.tokyospeaks.com/feed.xml Instagram: @tokyospeaks_ Twitter: @tokyospeaks_   [Support via Ko-fi] https://ko-fi.com/tokyospeaks
