6. Purposeful business ventures, Peru problems, and living in Bali with Rebecca Yik.
How can emotional resilience, community and compassion help us in times of uncertainty?
In episode 6 of the B-side with James Barrow, in the house sessions, I speak to Rebecca Yik, founder and CEO of Hatch, and head of brand experience for Lucy from her home in Bali, Indonesia.
Rebecca has over 20 years in creative and digital strategy across five countries - Australia, Canada, Singapore, Thailand and Bali. She led Experience Design for SingTel, was the Head of Strategy for Tigerspike for South East Asia and led a 100+ digital team for Optus in Australia.
She’s spent the last ten years working within innovation teams specialising in fintech disruption. Now in Bali, Rebecca runs her own company, Hatch, dedicated to founding and growing purpose-driven sustainable businesses and leads Brand Experience for Lucy, a financial technology company that helps women entrepreneurs actualise their business ideas.
Rebecca shares how she’s coping with the COVID-19 lockdowns in Bali while her partner is stuck in Peru. And how she’s holding down a family, while running a business and maintaining a good work-life balance too.
We talk about a whole host of topics, covering her professional background, current business ventures, and some of the personal experiences that have shaped who she is today.
Bek is an incredibly inspiring, compassionate, yet take-no-prisoners type of person. We had a candid, rich and insightful conversation. It gets a little full-on, so buckle up. I hope you find it as motivating and enjoyable as I did.
Enjoy.
