SE05 EP18: Running a DTC brand amidst Hong Kong’s Political Strife and the Coronavirus

Literally, the world stopped when governments worldwide ordained lockdowns to stop the spread of Coronavirus. With flights canceled all over the globe, people instructed to stay at home, and businesses forced to close down indefinitely, essentially everything was put to a standstill; hence, bringing down economies around the world into a recession. The gravity of the situation was not anything one would have anticipated.
