Pauly Ting

28 years ago, the hallways of Allamanda Private Hospital on the sunny Gold Coast, Australia was disturbed by the welcoming cries of yours truly.

At 12, I moved to Brisbane to attend boarding school (Churchie) until 2000 where upon I settled down with my then girlfriend in a nearby suburb.

All pretty domestic stuff really.

I established my first business at 23, a digital agency called 4Biz Media which was later rebranded to Feedia in 2009. I was also a co-founder of the advertising agency TwoCents Group but it would soon dawn on me, I wasn't happy with life.

Sometime around late 2010, I decided to sell everything I owned in Australia (including the businesses) and moved to San Francisco to reinvent myself. I wanted my life back. The one filled with stuff I wanted to do - not what I was stuck doing.

So I visited San Francisco for 7 months and just started doing things I loved.

The rest is history really...
