Art Reborn: Andrea Lee’s Surreal Doll Creations and Her Return to Passion🤱

50-year-old mother Andrea Lee made dolls that can make you say "Surreal!"... quite literally—hyper-realistic reborn dolls that sell for up to $6,000 each.

Lee is blessed with artistic talent. However, that gift was soon disrupted by career expectations from her father and work/life responsibilities. After her youngest child completed school, she found time to rekindle her passion for painting, enrolling in a beginner acrylic painting class and then, reborn-doll workshops. 

With the support of her husband, what was a hobby soon turned into a profitable business, where collectors began expressing interest in her products. Her father, who once vetoed her artistic endeavors, is now subtly in favor of her newfound career path by liking the posts she shares on social media. Well, classic Asian parents!

If dolls are mostly associated with young girls as its target audience, then what about adults who want to rewind their early memories of cradling a doll? Andrea wondered the same thing. Along with nostalgic values, seeing the emotional comfort it brings to her grandmother and eldest daughter has made her realize the power of bringing a doll to life through her art.

Beyond the Office: Young Koreans Breaking the Stereotypes of Blue-Collar Jobs👷

Against the glooms of modern South Korean society, when blue collars compete and life lacks colors, more young people turn their steering wheels towards alternative career paths—jobs that were seen as “cool” and less desirable. 

Take for example, Kim Dong-young, 28, shared his experience as a silicone caulker to challenge the stereotype that on-site jobs are unappealing. Witnessing that the majority of the workforce is composed of individuals in their 50s and 60s, this bold move sends an uproarious message to younger generations, that these jobs are fitting, lucrative, and cool. 

Embracing this unconventional career path, he takes great pride in the project sites, adventures, and camaraderie, all while earning about twice as much as office workers. “I hope more young people come to see on-site work as something cool, and I want to lead and inspire those people,” he shares.

What if the key to building a 7-figure Amazon business was hidden in the journey of a Vietnamese immigrant founder who started with less than $1,000?

Meet Justin Cao who is known for keeping it real about his humble rag-to-riches story, from credit card seed fund to exiting his $4mm/year Amazon brand for a humble payout. His mission is to inspire the next generation of founders on social media across 143,000 followers on his Instagram and 20,600 subscribers on his YouTube. 

His movement’s slogan is “Never give up with just 1% better daily.”   

Like many founder stories, he started with almost nothing, struggling to navigate a new life in America with broken English. However, Justin didn’t let his adversity define his future outcome. He understood that the more he LEARNs, the sooner the “L” drops. Thus, in his spare time at his 9-5 jobs, he put his head down learning about digital marketing and building a brand. 

Eventually, his preparation met opportunities with the rise of Amazon. He was able to start his brand by leveraging credit cards to build his brand successfully. His success and expertise have not gone unnoticed—Justin has been featured in Yahoo! Finance, International Business Times, and Nasdaq as a leader in the Amazon brand-building industry.

Throughout his journey, he stumbled across many horror stories of Asian founders being taken advantage of in the online space. Thus, he has formed a mission to pass on the torch of knowledge to the next generation. He formed a small and intimate community of Asian founders. It is a safe place where Asian/Asian American founders can learn from his proven success strategies and avoid the common pitfalls of the online business world. In just a few short years, he has helped many founders collectively generate over $20 million in revenue with their brands on Amazon.

With his ongoing mission, he wanted to give away 20 seats to his upcoming exclusive 1-hour masterclass for FREE on Tuesday, November 14th at 6 PM (PDT), where he will open the gates to share his million-dollar playbook and the required mindset to build multiple 7-figure brands online with Amazon. 

He has also provided an exclusive gift for our AHN members from his 131-page comprehensive e-book on how he built his cashflow brand on Amazon that you can grab HERE.
