LOXO Talkshow for entrepreneurs and startups

A spring is usually in equilibrium when no external force is applied. Conversely, if a compressive force is applied to the spring, it will spring back. The relationship between success and failure follows a similar pattern. Failure is life's way of pushing us down, but it is also an opportunity for us to spring higher on our journey to success. Failure is not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter learned from experience.

Inspired by this, "LOXO" revolves around the experiences and philosophies of success and failure of CEOs, business owners, and founders from a fresh perspective: empathy between entrepreneurs.

No one understands failure better than those who have failed. No one understands the difficulties and challenges of an entrepreneur better than a business leader themselves. The appearance of Do Son Duong – Co-founder and CEO of Toong – as the host will reveal the hidden aspects behind the media glamour of our guests. Stories never before revealed will be shared honestly and openly.

Watching LOXO, every viewer can find a reflection of themselves, to some extent, in moments when they feel like giving up. Through this, the program aims to inspire young people and empathize with entrepreneurs on their journey to starting a business with the message: The path to entrepreneurship is not paved with roses, but our attitude and choices when facing difficulties and challenges are what make us different. Just like the famous quote by the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, "The only thing we should fear is our own fear."

Since its launch in September 2015, Toong has contributed to changing the way people work in Vietnam by providing high-quality, cost-effective office spaces and added value through workplace community building. Currently, Toong has two locations on Trang Thi Street and To Ngoc Van Street in Hanoi. A third location will open in October of this year. Toong strives to be the first destination for innovators, building a dynamic, inspiring community together, striving for betterment.

Produced in collaboration with Toong Coworking are SHIELD and The Silleys. SHIELD (Start-Up Hub for Investment, Education and Leadership Development) – an organization developing the startup ecosystem – operates with the mission of connecting and supporting aspiring entrepreneurs with the necessary knowledge and skills for their entrepreneurial journey. The talk show's content is directed by The Silleys – a content project aimed at providing comprehensive perspectives and analyses of contemporary technology and business trends for young Vietnamese people. Periodically, The Silleys will provide multi-faceted analyses on key trending topics in the market. The first topic of The Silleys' talk show, focusing on Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, will officially launch in mid-August 2016.

LOXO will air its first episode on August 5th, 2016 on YouTube: https://goo.gl/bacAvq
