OM DENNE EPISODE
How do you sell over 100 million units of a product without any experience in business? Meet Jason Koo, the inventor of the KooClip, who went from a 16-year-old dreamer to a global success story. In this incredible interview with Stephen Key, Jason reveals his rollercoaster journey—from stockbroker to broke entrepreneur to multi-million unit seller. He shares how he broke into retail, overcame rejection, funded his orders, protected his inventions, and why he never gave up.
