Conversation with Serial Entrepreneur: Danny Da Rocha

Life Designer with Jingyu Chen

Key takeaways from today’s show: As a young, passionate serial entrepreneur, Danny is on his journey of building his business empire by taking small steps and through long years of hard work.
His hobby, being a DJ, led him to his first start-up: DJ DAROC, then he identified the market gap and created a Mutil -media and events agency ‘Gigahire’ where he landed some real big-name clients. He is running a wedding planning company at the same time. When Co-Vid kicked in, he lost almost all of his events business overnight. Instead of being depressed, he leveraged his skill-set in IT to launch an IT solution service to people WFH. During the Post-Covid age now, he is exploring new business in filming and media as the events/show business is still recovering from the pandemic.
He is not just business-oriented but also enjoys food, plays table tennis. Obviously, it's his passion for business and life that keeps him always stay energetic and positive, but the underlying drive is that the established value he always sticks to which is to help people and to get back to the community. We are likely to presume that business people are money-driven or even ruthless in order to gain profits which to a certain extent, could be true, but to hold up the belief of serving and helping people as a core principle, I personally believe, so is Danny and many other people in the business world, that will add infinite momentum into a person’s pursuit in life meaning and purpose.
Danny and I also share much common in lifestyle and life-pursuit. We both believe the key to success is staying humble, following your passion, and keeping upskilling yourself. Don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you doing. Essentially, to achieve your small goal or big dream, don’t forget a healthy lifestyle ( self-care, exercise, nutrition meals, etc.,) is your fundamental support that lays the foundation for physical energy and strong mental health.
