Aldi: Embracing the Values that Make Us Indonesian

"Apapun yang kamu lakukan, berilah akses untuk orang yang paling membutuhkan." From a young age, Aldi Haryopratomo's father had always encouraged him to empower people who needed help the most. As he grew to become a serial entrepreneur, Mas Aldi linked up with college friend Nadiem Makarim to start GOPAY, where he became a local hero who revolutionized Indonesia's financial technology industry. But today, he's on a different mission. After stepping down from CEO of GOPAY at the start of the year, Mas Aldi sets his sights on being a better investor, father, and mentor. As commissioner of HaloDoc and the initiator of Oxygen for Indonesia, Mas Aldi embraced another Indonesian value, gotong royong, as he united various Indonesian startups and VCs to bring oxygen concentrators and help us heal. In today's Independence Day Special, Aldi shares stories about his big breaks, the potential of Indonesia's future (ehem GoTo), and finding something you believe in.

Chaya: Building and Empowering a Culture of Sustainability

"If you're not learning anything new, that is the recipe to feeling stuck." Chaya Sabina is not your ordinary high school graduate. Having joined Bye Bye Plastic Bags (BBPB) from an early age, she has always adopted a culture of environmental sustainability in her day-to-day lifestyle. In fact, as she became the leader of Jakarta's BBPB branch, it became her goal to not only spread the word around about sustainability, but also empower others to challenge themselves in making a difference. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, as someone who frequently bakes for her friends, she decided to start her own cookie business, Wabi Sabi Cookies. While it has seen tremendous success selling cookies, Chaya makes sure that it is a commitment to always use eco-friendly packaging. In this episode, we talk about the balance between profit and sustainability, overcoming fear of failure, and what youth empowerment means to Chaya. Shoutout to Aziza for helping me co-host this one!

Natasha: The Gut Check of Novel Writing

"OMG do you have AC in Indonesia? How about malls?" When people overseas asked these questions about her home country, Natasha Sondakh was often disappointed. Aiming to introduce the world to the Indonesian culture, Natasha released her first ever contemporary fiction novel last April, She Smells of Turmeric. But that wasn't her only motivation in writing.
