Bali made sense for business. Moving back to the US was right for our family - for now.

A decade ago, I was deep in the corporate grind of brand management in Los Angeles. This meant long hours, endless meetings, and constant stress. I worked 12-hour days, chasing approvals, but I felt unfulfilled. With an autoimmune condition that flares under stress, a vacation to Steamboat Springs, Colorado- where my phone wouldn't stop pinging - was the breaking point.

I'm the founder of PopSockets. My day includes long forest walks and drinking a green tea-coffee combo I call 'graffee.'

I was once a philosophy professor at the University of Colorado, and I was frustrated with my headset tangling every time I went to make a call on my phone. So I drove to a nearbyJoann Fabrics store and glued a couple of huge clothing buttons to the back of my tiny little iPhone so I could wrap my headset around them. I got made fun of for how ridiculous it was, but over the course of about a year and many, many prototypes, I miniaturized it, and eventually launched a business out of my garage in the mountains of Boulder in 2014.

For Lubetzky, business begins with people. He recalled a South African proverb that says, "We're only human because of other humans," and argued that the same applies to companies. "Community is what makes us human," he said. "Create a community where everyone is in it together." Rather than focusing narrowly on profits, he believes leaders should prioritize building a sense of belonging among employees and customers alike - the kind of trust that sustains a business in good times and bad.

My parents didn't approve when I dropped out of high school. But it became the first step toward starting my own company in China.

I left high school two months into my senior year. I believed my path didn't have to be high school to college to job to rat race. I'd always been different, and that difference gave me the determination to eventually open my own business in China. I grew up in Shanghai, and before dropping out in 2016, I spent most of my free time working part-time jobs: English-Mandarin translator, assistant for a nightclub owner, PA for A-list celebrities, and even a venture capital intern.
