So in the midst of all the craziness in the world, I had the chance to sit with brilliant minds of the tech industry in Indonesia. I shared the stage with Crystal Widjaja (yes, to those of you wondering: THE Crystal Widjaja from Gojek). She's the co founder of Generation Girl (the Kpop band is [...]
You know sometimes when you're singing by yourself in the car or publicly karaoke-ing with your friends and you think "wow, I sound like Beyonce or Taylor Swift!"
