Pedal to Lead with Elisa Chiu (中文)
“The best leaders have to have a calm inner core.”
Summary of Episode:
Jenn speaks to Taiwanese entrepreneur, founder of Anchor Taiwan Elisa Chiu! Anchor Taiwan is a platform focusing on innovation ecosystem building for cross-border collaboration, strategic partnership/marketing/investing and tech scouting. Elisa has over the years like many founders, failed and accomplished in all aspects of her life. We dive into conversing about pedal to lead in which Elisa’s journey to cycling a few years ago gave her a whole new perspective about herself, her work, Taiwan and more.
It always helps me to talk to people with different backgrounds or go to events and exhibitions that will give me a different perspective.
