HERE’S WHAT WAS COVERED:

AMBER:

We've just heard your speech on how to create a disruptive life. Do you want to give us your best tips for creating a disruptive life?

MIKI:

I mean it's a more disruptive business but just to create a disruptive life. It's really about becoming a warrior gatekeeper of your mind to really catch all the negative thoughts before they enter your mind and then into your soul and to really, once you start cashing all of your negative thoughts, you can start sort of like letting them bounce off of the warrior gatekeeper of your mind and then it creates room for all of the other things you actually want to do with your life.

What do you want to create? What do you want to bill? Like what do you want to disrupt while you're here for a very short amount of time? That's just one of the many things like thinking about like money, how to disrupt like the competition or money.

Money is so tacky. People don't want to talk about it, like how to talk about it and really empowered way. You know we talk, we live in a world where you have to get serious as you grow up. You know, we've been told to get head out of your clouds. I sit down, be quiet, and we're just like, Oh and so how do you, how do you actually still live in a childlike state of curiosity, playfulness, and awe, and to be responsible to all the same time? And you can absolutely do both. And so it just, it's a series of, it's 13 disruptions in your life.

Then you can really look at that breaks all societal misconceptions and preconceptions and allows you to live in full line with yourself.

AMBER:

Awesome. And I guess these apply whether you're an employee, whether you're an entrepreneur and no matter what you're doing in your life, cause it's more about a mindset and a way of being rather than you know what you're doing.

MIKI:

That's right. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Yeah.

AMBER:

Awesome. So you have started just wanting to know full company and not just started companies. You started hugely disruptive companies for a founder. What's really the best piece of advice you could give to a founder that's wanting to get out there and disrupt their industry.

MIKI:

I think it's, it's, it's really finding an actual need in society, a real problem in the world where you're like, Oh wow, I can't believe we're doing it this way and there's gotta be a better way and I'm going to just have to, like, you just have to be so present to everything that you do in your life and you're like, wait, this feels, this feels dumb or this doesn't feel, this feels like old school. You have to like, just look at everything with a fresh pair of eyes.

And when you do, you'll find so many problems in the world that you can, you know, that could be better for the environment, better for helping hygiene better for our lives.

AMBER:

Does I feel like you've found the formula for disruption and I feel like maybe you just look at the world in that way. You just look at continually looking at how to improve the world and how, how to make the world a better place. Right?

MIKI:

Yeah. I think it's just really looking at categories that haven't been touched in a long time because no one's talking about them.

AMBER:

And can you talk really quickly, cause I love what you've done with a gift, the way you give back and each of your organizations as well he shared with us.

MIKI:

I think the future of entrepreneurship is social entrepreneurship. So I think that all of my companies have give back missions.

So my most recent company, Toshi hellotushy.com, for every tissue they sold, we help fund the buildout of clean sanitation facilities and bathrooms all over India to help 50,000 families getting access to clean sanitation. And with things, we help women gain menstrual products at a really affordable price. And with Icon we helped women get fistula operations to get back into their lives.

AMBER:

Incredible. So for someone who isn't a founder, for someone who's working, so for a company, how would they incorporate that kind of mentality within their nine to five?

MIKI:

I think it's just like thinking about what can be their give back as even as employees, what are their skillsets as I'm like, Oh, if I'm a good designer, like what kind of give back and what can I, can I use my skillset for to help the world be a better place or help an organization that might not have money that's really helping people.

Like how can I just offer, donate my time? There's a lot of people have skill sets that they can be donating to people just to make themselves feel like and then bringing it to their company being like, Hey, maybe we should create a give back for our company and actually make employees more committed to staying because what you've done in your companies essentially everyone could do in their own organization.

AMBER:

Awesome. I love that you're out there making the world a better place.
