Cropsticks Inventor Mylen Yamamoto: Now You Know with Nicki Sun
If you're an entrepreneur or thinking about launching a product and/or business of your own, you'll want to watch this entire interview with Mylen Yamamoto! Mylen has recently appeared on ABC's "Shark Tank" for her invention of Cropsticks--environmentally sustainable chopsticks with a built-in rest. In addition to being an inventor, she also runs a talent management firm called Clique Now, managing popular YouTubers The Fung Bros, LeendaDProductions, and Richie Le. Did I also mention she used to be a professor of Entrepreneurship at Loyola Marymount University too? While this 20 minute interview has plenty nuggets of knowledge, I broke it down to clickable sections should you wish to fast-forward to a specific part.
