#249. From 100 Rejections to International Recognition with BIPOC Co-Founder of Quantum Dice & Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister, Wenmiao Yu

PEERS

If there’s one setback every entrepreneur faces at some point, it’s rejection. While it can be disheartening, a “no” can serve as a valuable lesson and a chance for something even better. Our guest this week experienced this firsthand, as they heard the word “no” almost 100 times before finally getting a long-awaited “yes” — a “yes” that catapulted their company to new heights.

In this episode of PEERS, we’re joined by Wenmiao Yu, Director of Business Development and Co-Founder of Quantum Dice to talk about practicing patience and mindfulness, making your own luck, and how to keep pushing forward despite the odds.
