When it comes to an outside-the-box success story, Marina Tran-Vu's is incredible. She worked for years as a corporate marketer, working for and with major brands. She was supposed to just be visiting Vietnam from her native Canada, but then the pandemic happened effectively trapping her in another country. Rather than give up the fight, she doubled down, building a pandemic business for eco-friendly straws and eco-friendly alternatives to other everyday single-use plastic items. Marina’s story is proof that fulfillment can sometimes come from events that seem negative at the outset.
