Had the biggest privilege to have Jansen Ko on a podcast session! He is the co-founder of Boulder Movement, a Singapore-based rock climbing gym that currently has 3 outlets around the island.  

He shares his journey during his junior college days being obsessed about rock climbing, being involved in several businesses as a franchisee, and eventually starting Boulder Movement - it is the best rock climbing gym I’ve ever been to.   

Jansen strikes me as a humble individual who is dedicated to perfecting his craft of managing a business - though it’s not really part of the podcast (since he wrote it in his Medium article), my biggest takeaway is the following phrase from one of his articles;  The first rule of CEO psychological meltdown is to not talk about CEO psychological meltdown.  

It is crazy to think that businesses can lose tens of thousands of dollars every single month when sports facilities were recently forced to close due to COVID-restrictions. While things are getting better now, I can’t imagine how tough it is to swallow that loss of cash flow for consecutive months - this podcast gives a 0.01% peek into it is.  Definitely check this podcast out!  

*On a separate note, go and check on their YouTube channel! It’s awesome for anyone new to rock climbing!!
