bitplay - 讓科技更有人性
最怕設計師在面對自己的作品時自滿,一旦自滿將看不到缺點,當然也失去改進的機會。bitplay創辦人Jack從一開始直白分享創業的經驗、面對產品不叫座的危機、每次都與蘋果推出新手機款式的時間點賽跑,再一次次的挫折中,他一次次大膽地、勇敢地面對,並從中學習。
繭裹子 TWINE - The Green Fashion
宜穎與士翔兩人以繭裹子為出發點,利用不同管道,將使命傳遞出去:做最好的公平貿易產品;因為到最後,產品是最重要的。因為公平貿易有價值,但是沒有絕對的價格。透過產品串連起消費者,並且建構一個新的商業型態與觀念。
The two founders of TWINE treat their brand as a starting point and use different ways to pass on the purpose: to introduce the best Fair Trade products. Because in the end, the products are the most important. The concept of Fair Trade is valuable; however, there is no fixed price for it. They hope to connect consumers through the products and to build a new business form.

李蒨蓉 - 扭轉信念的機會
蒨蓉感謝上天讓她在三年前受挫,才有機會認清自己的生活、打破一切重新開始。如今的她依舊亮麗,對我來說她就是當初那個讓人仰慕的美麗女子,不過在那份美麗中多了一份踏實的自信,那是一種知道不足仍舊努力的累積再現。

董事長樂團 - 大叔的浪漫搖滾
這場採訪是在慕尼黑進行的,至今坐在電腦前想起來都還是覺得不可思議。我從慕尼黑郊區的家門離開,搭了公車轉地鐵,才五十分鐘就已經見到坐在旅館大廳等待接受採訪的董事長樂團。通常這樣的機會,得先花上二十小時搭轉飛機才有可能發生。
