In this episode, we talk to Shizu Okusa, the founder and CEO of Apothékary, a plant-based pharmacy that offers natural alternatives to over-the-counter drugs and beauty products. Shizu shares her entrepreneurial journey in the health and wellness industry, starting with her first company, JRINK, which she launched and bootstrapped. We also learn about her passion for angel investing in mostly female-led companies, with a portfolio of ten companies to date. Shizu's upbringing by traditional immigrant parents from Osaka and Tokyo, particularly her father's reminder to stay grounded, is also discussed in relation to her topic, "How To Be a Human Being, Not a Human Doing." Tune in to learn more about Shizu's inspiring story and approach to life.
