Upcycled skateboards

The beauty of becoming an adult is you get to pursue dreams you didn’t have the agency to as a child. For 30-year-old coffin maker, Mr. Anusorn Yungyearn, it was shredding on skateboards – growing up, the entrepreneur didn’t want his family to spend money on his hobbies.

Always give opportunities to others

There are many others who haven’t been able to live their dreams. Individuals like Mr. Anusorn are fortunate enough to share his childhood dream to others and give that opportunity. If you had a good head start in life, it can be fulfilling to share your dreams with those who don’t have the same opportunity as you.
