What Repair.sg Does

What if a job most people wouldn’t think twice about became a seven-figure business? Zames Chew, Co-Founder of Repair.sg, comes into the studio to share how hands-on trade skills, not pitch decks, became his biggest competitive edge. From learning repairs on the ground to building a culture of trust, he is removing the stigma around blue-collar trades one customer at a time. We also go deep on why he once felt embarrassed to tell his peers about the business, and why upskilling himself was such a crucial part of his success.
