Make a Positive Social Impact with your Business | Brewing Up Good Trouble
03/28/23 • 39 min

To help him balance his commitments to his business ventures and his desire to make a positive social impact, he shares what he calls his 80/20 rule. We dove into the nitty gritty of how Carpenter Development and Trophy Brewing got started, discussed how State of Beer and Young Hearts Distilling add to his spirits empire, and what's on the agenda for the next 5 to 7 years (if you can believe it).

How to make a Career as an Interior Designer (even if you can't draw!)
Accepting that debt could benefit his business is a financial mindset shift that Chi Yiu made during his journey in entrepreneurship. Being afraid of failure and not wanting to be in a position to be fired from a job are powerful motivators to exploring different approaches to making your business successful.
Chi founded Wood + Water Studio in 2018 and has since become a champion of affordable housing solutions that meet the present-day needs of the Triangle community. A former East Carolina University student turned kitchen and bath remodeling company owner, Chi has created a business from his passion, rather than running from it (as he did for quite some time).
Our conversation revealed his love for mentorship, relationship development, design, and lifelong learning. I can’t wait for you to learn why he started his business, the challenges he overcame in managing a team, and what’s next on the horizon for Wood + Water.
