Universities today are facing a big question:

How do we prepare students for the real world — beyond textbooks, exams and theory?

At the same time, companies are looking for graduates who can think strategically, communicate confidently, solve problems and adapt quickly.

This is why we created the Big Timer University Program — a hands-on, game-based entrepreneurship and business strategy experience designed to help students learn through real interaction, teamwork and decision-making.

Instead of passive learning, students experience:

✅ strategic thinking
✅ teamwork and leadership
✅ communication under pressure
✅ entrepreneurial problem-solving
✅ real-world business decision making

What makes this even more exciting is the opportunity to bring together:

🎓 universities
👩‍🏫 educators
🏢 corporate partners
🚀 future talent

into one collaborative learning ecosystem.

We also believe this creates meaningful opportunities for companies that want to:

-- engage directly with students,
-- support entrepreneurship and education,
-- build visibility on campus,
-- and connect with future talent early.

Find out more about the Big Timer University Program and you can get involved if you're working in a university or if you're a business owner with a talent pipeline to fill!

One thing we really admire about Canva is that they don’t just talk about impact — they actively bring their ecosystem along for the journey.

We recently read about Canva co-funding solar farms together with their print suppliers as part of their journey toward net zero emissions. What stood out wasn’t just the sustainability initiative itself, but how they approached it.

Instead of pushing responsibility downstream and expecting suppliers to “figure it out,” Canva chose collaboration.

They created a shared Climate Commitment where suppliers, partners and Canva work together toward reducing emissions. That’s leadership.

Even smarter? They openly published their framework so other companies can learn from it and adapt it for themselves. There’s a quiet humility in saying:
“This is what’s working for us — feel free to build on it.”

That’s the kind of business thinking we respect:

✅ Leading the conversation through action
✅ Making sustainability collaborative, not performative
✅ Building brand trust while creating real-world impact
✅ Understanding that ecosystems matter

And from a business perspective, this is incredibly smart marketing too.

When a company consistently demonstrates values through tangible action, they stop being “just another software platform” and become a brand people genuinely want to support and stay loyal to.

As Canva users and subscribers ourselves this definitely deepens our respect for what they’re building. 🌏☀️

If more companies treated sustainability as a shared ecosystem challenge instead of a PR exercise, we’d probably move a lot faster.

Canva brings its new solar farms online, adding renewable energy to the grid, reducing Print supply chain emissions, and advancing towards its target of net zero emissions by 2040.

We are looking to connect with Malaysian universities and colleges that offer business or entrepreneurship courses.

We're rolling out our Big Timer workshops to students in universities and colleges as part of our community program and would love to connect with forward-thinking and entrepreneurial-minded educators, lecturers or professors who teach business or entrepreneurial courses.

Please connect us or tag an educator who would like to explore game-based learning for entrepreneurship!

A client recently recounted a story that stopped us mid-conversation. Her client — a new father — had been thinking about buying insurance for his newborn. So he did what most people do today: he searched online. And what happened next made us think - the fundamentals still apply. Here's the full story.

Congratulations to Synergy101 for reaching your 20th year in business!

Last week, we were invited to their new office to celebrate this momentous and poignant occasion with their directors, employees, close friends and clients.

As business owners ourselves, we know business is filled with ups and downs. Hitting the 20-year mark is no mean feat. Its CEO, Miss Chiam, brought us down memory lane, recounting how she first started in 2006 with a dream.

Today, the dream has become a 50-person strong company with two locations - Penang and Prai - and their HR, finance, payroll, taxation and accounting services have expanded to include company secretarial services. They serve SMEs and MNCs in Malaysia and overseas.

We are proud to be associated with this client as they've trusted us to conceptualize, design and manage their website for many years. Their website is now undergoing a redesign to reflect their 20th year in business.

Their sustainability values were well demonstrated when they gave each guest a live plant as a take-home gift!

A well-built website does something a social media profile cannot: it gives AI something substantial to read.

It communicates your specialty, your experience and your approach in depth. That depth is exactly what AI systems are trained to surface.

Here are 3 ways you could improve your website if you're a doctor.

Thank you to Ask Lex PH Academy for the invitation to keynote their BABAE 2026 online event this Saturday. Registration details in the comments below.

Over the past five years of hosting my podcast, I’ve had the privilege of hearing the stories of many women across Asia.

I've interviewed women from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Japan, The Philippines, Malaysia and even Mongolia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hawaii and Fiji.

Women building businesses.
Women leading communities.
Women creating opportunities for others.

And one thing has become very clear to me.

No woman succeeds alone.

Behind every step forward, there is usually someone who:

-- opened a door
--- shared knowledge
---- made an introduction
------ offered encouragement
or created an opportunity that didn’t exist before.

Sometimes we call it mentorship.
Sometimes we call it support.

But often it’s simply someone choosing to say:

“Come in. There’s space for you here.”

That’s why the theme of an event I’ll be speaking at this Saturday resonates so deeply with me:

Give Access.
Give Knowledge.
Give Opportunity.

This Saturday at 9AM, I’ll be giving the keynote at BABAE 2026, organised by Ask Lex PH Academy and supported by organisations including Women4Women and PHMoms. (Registration link in comments below or scan the QR code)

The conversation will focus on something I care deeply about: visibility for women in our region.

Because visibility changes things.

When women are seen, their ideas travel further and their work inspires someone. And new opportunities begin to appear.

Sometimes gaining visibility means having the courage to step forward ourselves.

Or it means using whatever platform we have to shine a light on someone else. (Like my podcast.)

Both matter.

So today I want to ask something simple.

Who is a woman who has opened a door for you?

Tag her if you can or send this to post to her.

Let’s celebrate the women who help other women move forward.

My gift to you….

Happy International Women’s Day everyone!

I will be co-hosting an IWD webinar this Friday, 13 March at 1pm Malaysia time about visibility, narrative and positioning with my program partner, Rowena.

Rowena and I run a visibility program together named From Vision To Voice for ambitious women.

In this webinar, we will have a thoughtful conversation about practical strategies around these themes of viability, narrative and positioning and we invite you to join us.

We’re doing this because we observe that many women excel at what they do but struggle to share their best work with others.

If you’d like to have a conversation about clarity and confidence and how you can start sharing your best talents, join me and Rowena, in this webinar:
