Michael says...This week we are joined by the ferocious Krystie Mak. She is a brand strategist and co-founder / Chief Creative Officer of Slant’d, a magazine/media company that celebrates Asian American identity through personal storytelling. K Mak talks about breaking away from the conventional model of Asian American success and eventually co-founding Slant’d while killing it in her day job as a brand strategist in NYC. She helps us answer fundamental questions: what does it mean to be Asian American today? Where did the name Slant’d come from? What does it take to build a media company while balancing your day job? Listen and get inspired by the wise words of K Mak!You can find Krystie on IG @Krystiemak.
