Join the Breakfast Show as they sit down with Kai Jun Wong, Founder and Managing Director of Play Nation, to unpack the entrepreneurial journey behind the brand. From how it all began, to sustaining the business through challenges, to the bold leap into product innovation with the newly launched Sanrio Pikku!
