I think ultimately, the whole driven concept of living the way you need to live to get to where you need to go so that you can do the things that you want to do, is really something I think one of the things that she's internalized about the way we live.
Maximus Kang’s story is a testament to resilience and adaptability. Losing his father at 13, Max found solace in learning, which became his escape from the working class. He navigated his way through college by studying past test answers and tutoring, but this focus on academics came at the expense of deeper friendships and a social life. The recession of 2008 hit hard, leading to Max being fired from five engineering jobs.
Instead of giving up, he pivoted to e-commerce, leveraging his knack for learning once again. Max started an SEO consulting business to help brands excel online and pursued a SAAS venture to fill a market need. Although his dream of being a SAAS founder didn’t pan out, he found success with a practical product close to his heart: kids' cups.
This episode dives into Max’s journey, touching on managing anger, handling finances, and the grit required to build a mission-led brand. His story is one of determination, customer obsession, and the impact of personal life on business decisions. Tune in to hear how Max turned setbacks into stepping stones and built a thriving business with Cupkin.
