[Becoming CEO] CHITCHAT with Justin Uy by Chito Samontina

BECOMING CEO | Episode 1 He started with borrowed money, seven workers, and a mango. Today, Justin Uy's products are on the shelves of Walmart, Costco, and Target. He exports to 54 countries. He owns one of the most iconic island resorts in the Philippines. And he still believes his greatest achievement has nothing to do with money. In this premiere episode of 'Becoming CEO', Chito Samontina sits down with the man they call the Mango King — Justin Uy, founder of Profood International and chairman of J Park Island Resort and Waterpark — for the most honest conversation about what it actually takes to build something that lasts. What we talked about: — Why failure before 20 is the best business education you can get — The Chinese character traits that quietly drive Filipino business success — Why success has nothing to do with how much money you make — What he did for 18 hours a day for 18 straight years — Why he helps farmers first and counts profit second — The moment he knew the mango business would change his life This is not a business lecture. This is a life lesson from a man who built an empire by solving other people's problems — and never forgot where he came from. Becoming CEO is a CHITchat for future CEOs — hosted by Chito Samontina. Every episode, he sits across from the leaders from different industries, asks the questions nobody asks them, and brings every insight straight to you. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.
