Interview 1
Mr. Shay - Fitness Instructor
Mr Shay is a fitness instructor and the club manager of 9Rounds, a fitness gym located in River Valley, Singapore. He was involved with several other private gyms in the past. Earlier, Mr Shay faced predicaments with fitness and endurance, such as running for a prolonged time and lifting heavy weights.
He told us an exciting story about how Singaporeans need to go through military training, and how, in the 9th infantry division of which he was a part, fitness was vital. When Mr Shay saw his other comrades excelling,
and he fell behind because of his fitness, he was motivated to train to become better. His training was not only for his wellbeing but also aimed
at enhancing himself to become the best in his division and help others better themselves by becoming a fitness coach. Mr Shay has reached optimum fitness and is in good mental health.

The definition of creativity depends on a person’s perspective, and Cyrus' perspective on it is truly fascinating. After graduating from the London School of Economics, he has always conveyed sentiments from his daily life in advertisements and promos. By doing this, he has made Bawa Broadcasting successful, providing branded content and advertising solutions for clients. He took over copywriting for Saatchi, one of the most fearless agencies on the planet, but despite rising in the ranks here, he later chose to move on to other jobs. Cyrus created four ads for the company, and after their appearance on TV, he realized that his writing skills met industrial standards.
