Jean Wu is the co-founder and CEO of que Factory in Emeryville, California. Along with her husband and co-founder Kevin Shen, she created que Factory in 2016 after noticing the overwhelming amount of single-use plastic water bottles being discarded everywhere, especially after large events and while traveling. With the mission to reduce plastic waste by creating a practical and stylish alternative that can be taken anywhere you go, the company’s first product was born—que Bottle, the first collapsible, plastic-free reusable water bottle. At launch, que Bottle raised more than $600,000 in crowdfunding. In her role as co-founder and CEO, Jean is responsible for finance, logistics, wholesale, and business operations. She earned a Master’s degree in TV Production from Boston University. Jean and Kevin are also repeat entrepreneurs who have previously founded startups together. - In 2014, Hamilton Perkins founded Hamilton Perkins Collection, an independent brand, designing and producing unique and award winning bags and accessories from recycled materials. Hamilton Perkins Collection exists to create timeless limited edition bags made from recycled plastic water bottles, pineapple leaf fiber, and billboard vinyl. The result is that no two bags are ever the same. Our first design, the Earth Bag Premium, was created so that our customers would not only carry a bag that was stylish but carry a bag they could be proud of.  We surveyed more than 1,000 consumers to obtain their thoughts and feedback for each component of the Earth Bag Premium, which soon became one of our most popular designs. Perkins was the winner of the Virginia Velocity Tour hosted by the Governor of Virginia, and the recipient of a HUD Community Development Block Grant. The non-profit B Lab honored Hamilton Perkins Collection as a "Best for the World Overall" B Corporation in 2017. Hamilton Perkins Collection has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Money Magazine, and The Washington Post. The brand is currently offered in nearly 100 leading department stores and specialty stores in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

 E93: The Jean Wu (que Bottle) Interview

It’s no secret that this wonderful profession we are a part of has a dark side. I can list a number of dentists who’ve been forced to step back. In just the middle of their career. Shoulder, back and neck pain have held them back from their potential. Dr Jean Wu is no stranger to this. Just two years after graduation she found herself lying on the floor, wondering if she’ll walk again. Fortunately that fear was short lived however the effects of the slipped disk she experienced were not.  This led her down the path of pilates to help strengthen her core and prevent relapse. She fell in love and although it was originally just for personal interest, Jean found herself becoming a qualified instructor and now helps dentists recover from and prevent the very same kind of injuries. The Diamond Press  I personally have experienced shoulder pain that I attribute to years of Dental assisting. This is such an important topic and something that everyone from students to senior dentists can learn from. If Jean could recommend only one exercise for every dentist it would be the diamond press. Check out her video tutorial on this and give it a shot. Jean shares her experience, journey to recovery and advice for dentists including a video for a 10minute pre work workout – free and something you can start today.10 minute pre-work routine If you live in Melbourne you can see Jean for group or individual classes. Find her at www.postureandcorepilates.com.au and her Facebook Page.   The post #4 – Pilates and Posture with Dr Jean Wu appeared first on Dental Head Start.
