Malaysian entrepreneur Amber Leong landed a S$1.1 million deal with Shark Tank investors Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, in exchange for a 20 per cent stake in her company. --- Her parents send her one way ticket to United States to study to fulfill a long time wish to study in the United States and they took out their retirement fund. . Born and raised in Salak South Village, Leong was diagnosed with the rare but life-threatening condition due to bacterial infection, the toxic shock syndrome. . With only a 50-50 percent chance of surviving pushed the Malaysian to create lamps that provide light therapy to people across the globe. . Her tale of her childhood dream of going ot the United States to further her education after convincing her parents to cash their retirement funds for a one-way ticket to finance her studies and her fight with toxic shock syndrome was a heartwarming one and won the investors over. . Her company, Circadian Optics, was born in a dark corporate office in the middle of a long Minnesota winter. Contending with fatigue and difficulty concentrating, Leong bought a light therapy lamp, a huge, boxy device that she didn’t find to be very user-friendly. . She designed her own smaller, better-looking lamp and started Circadian Optics four years ago. Last year, she made $4 million in sales. This year, she’s projected to sell $5.6 million. . She hopes to use the money from the sharks for continued growth and innovation with her company. Circadian Optics is based in Minneapolis and was founded by Leong and her husband three years ago. The company reportedly has online sales of US$4 million with an expected increase of US$1.6 million this year, and an estimated value of US$7.5 million. . #AmberLeong #Malaysian #Usahawan #EntrepreneurMYS #SharkTank #MrWonderful #MarkCuban #CircadianOptics #TARCIAN (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3g269SJzMj/?igshid=323ns371zqkj

My approach to comedy is that whenever it comes to me, I write it. With 'The Daily Show,' you have to write stuff every day, and that's a new experience for me, to not only write on someone else's schedule but a daily schedule. . There’s no substitute for experience, so get as much stage time as you can. Be self-aware. You should be able to tell when a joke isn’t working and needs to be changed up. Stay positive to yourself and others. . Ronny Xin Yi Chieng is an Australian-based Malaysian comedian and actor. Chieng is currently a senior correspondent on The Daily Show on Comedy Central and creator and star of the sitcom Ronny Chieng: International Student which premiered on ABC and Comedy Central Asia in 2017. . His idols are Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle. .
