🇰🇭 Monorom Tchaw is the Founder of Compost City, a social enterprise focused on environmental education and making composting easy for everyone in Cambodia.
🌱 Growing up in the city, she shares her journey connecting with the soil, with the food we eat, with farmers and with all the natural resources used in our everyday life.
🪴 She goes through how she started building her first home composting kits based on her own needs, and how it eventually became Compost City after improving her initial prototype, year after year.
👨🌾 She proudly shares how Compost City’s mission is evolving from only compost awareness towards making people connect with the soil and the food we eat.
💡 Finally, we discuss her overall life philosophy guided by non-violent communication and how she’s not trying to tell people what to think, but instead tries to make people think.
This episode is also special because I’m co-hosting it with Linka Lin so you will hear 3 people, and it was also recorded on video, so switch to YouTube if you want to see our faces! :D

🇱🇦 Jim Kouphokham is the co-founder of Xiang Miang, a youth-led social enterprise developing the entrepreneurial mindset and technology skills of youth. He’s also the co-founder of Makerbox Lao, the first public makerspace in the country, enabling the youth to build things by themselves and adopt a maker mindset instead of a consumer mindset.
💡 Coming from a difficult background, he studied hard to get a scholarship for Australia, where he was exposed to so many new ideas, opportunities and people that made him more creative, entrepreneurial and driven to make a change in Laos.
🤔 Throughout his studies, there was this one question that Jim kept thinking about: how can the youth in Laos also be exposed to these opportunities and be empowered to become problem solvers?
💻 He came back to Laos and started collaborating with schools to conduct the first entrepreneurship bootcamps, data science programs and technology trainings with Xiang Miang.
⚒️ This led him to launch Makerbox for the youth to have their own space to connect, build things with their hands, and learn about topics never heard of in Laos before. It’s a space built by makers, for makers and aspiring makers, for those who want to paint, build their own electric bicycles, discover the Internet of Things, play board games, or just have meaningful conversations!

🤠 He is passionate about philosophy and defines himself as a “contrarian” as he’s always reflecting on this question: « what if the opposite was true? ».
💪 His love for philosophy made him become a professor at the Palau Community College for more than 15 years, during which he kept asking his students: “what if the opposite was true?”. What if Palau was self-sufficient? What if Palauan youth were role models for other youth across the world? What if Palau was narrating its own story to the world?
🎤 "Relationships are more important than being right".
🎯 Tutii has also been engaged with the Olympic Committee of Palau for the last 20 years to develop sports as a means for youth empowerment and for putting Palau on the global map. You never know, what if Palau brought back an Olympic gold medal in archery in 2024?
We discuss his long quest bringing his 2 passions - philosophy and sports - together, finding his purpose to make people think, and finding his community which was just around the corner in Palau.
Enjoy this super cool episode and how it makes you think!

In this special episode, we will reflect a bit on why and how "trust" plays a role in reconnecting with our power of action. All the Life Line guests have received trust in their journey, and this trust enabled them to believe in themselves, to feel motivated and capable, and to be accountable for the world they want to see. The most beautiful thing? They all pay it forward, they all "trust it forward" to the next generation.
Only when someone trusted you, when no one else did, that you can understand the transformative power of trust. Enjoy!
And here are a few questions for you to take away in 2022:
