“We always have to define what would be the purpose. If you believe in that certain brand or certain product or certain project, you work very, very passionately about it. It’s about the culture of Primer. It’s about fun. They are also connected with the community,” shares Mr. Thai, who emphasizes that purpose and passion are important in making a business thrive.

He also tells how relationships are important in building a business.

“It was built on the foundation of friendship more than the dollar signs. If you trust this guy just because he says, ‘Oh, but we can make money’. It’s going to be short-term, and I’m sure along the way, you will split up with each other,” he says.
