As a former supermodel, and a current actor and entrepreneur, this type of lifestyle is the exact opposite of what Fabio Ide is used to. In his late teens, he was already traveling the world, booking brands and campaigns shoots across thirteen different countries. He then became a staple in the Manila party and showbiz scene, when he eventually decided to call the Philippines his new, adoptive home. He quickly added entrepreneur to his resume, when he came a partner with the great minds behind iconic nightspots like 71 Gramercy and The Palace. Fabio would not slow down. There was no time to. He was young, bright, good looking, and ready to take over the world.

Another month, another form of community quarantine. We’ll spare you the adjectives, because what it really is, is limbo.
GOOD LEADERSHIP
I’ve been an employee and a business owner for nearly two decades now and during one of the long nights of 2020, I asked myself, “What kind of leader do I want to be?” This is a question that can easily be answered by, “I want to be a good leader.” But the truth is, it is so difficult to even come close to good. You see, many if not all of our jobs is a business, a business that has to keep spending at bay, one that has to increase profits year over year, and one that has to keep workers happy and motivated. Those things are polar opposites of one another and to find the perfect middle is challenging. For months, I’ve mulled over my own question and I think I’ve found the answer. I want to be that leader that inspires personal growth.

BE HAPPY
Two months ago, I was announced as the head of One Mega Group, a position previously held by our late Founder, Sari Yap, and then our current Chairman, Archie Carasco. Full disclosure, I knew about this announcement six months ago at the height of the pandemic. When I was told, I laughed. I wasn’t sure if it was a nervous laughter, an amused chuckle or both. I honestly thought it was a prank that would be revealed seconds later, but it wasn’t.
