## Resource

He wasn’t in retail. He wasn’t in distribution. He wasn’t even planning to start a business. He was an IT professional. Then one day… he saw something on Shark Tank. That product? Scrub Daddy. What started as a simple “what if” turned into something much bigger. In this episode of the RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with Dustin Ng of Wincorp—a former expat IT professional who took a chance on a product he believed in, despite having zero background in retail or distribution. No roadmap. No guarantees. Just the willingness to reach out, take a risk, and figure things out along the way. From spotting an opportunity on TV… to building a full-scale business bringing a global brand into the Philippine market—this is a story of hustle, resilience, and commitment. Because sometimes, the biggest opportunities don’t come from experience. They come from seeing something others don’t—and acting on it. 🎧 Watch the full episode now.
