S9E8: "Weaving Purpose with Enterprise" ft. Dato’ Jacqueline Fong | Founder of Tanoti

Can a 1,000-year-old art form become a viable career for the next generation? 🧶✨ ​ ​ We’re joined by Dato’ Jacqueline Fong, the founder of Tanoti. Based in Sarawak, Tanoti isn’t just beautiful fabrics - it’s making sure ancient skills don't just survive as museum pieces, but thrive as a sustainable way of life for the people who practice them 🤝🏛️ ​ Since 2012, Jacqueline has applied her background in investment banking to something far more personal: building a community for over 500 artisans. By focusing on fair wages for young women in rural areas and Penan rattan weavers, she’s proving that traditional craft can be a viable, competitive path forward. From intricate Songket to contemporary designs, they are showing the world what happens when you treat heritage with the professional respect it deserves 🧺🌏 ​ Jacqueline’s work has even moved beyond onto the stage with "Dreamweavers," a musical that brings the sacred stories of Pua Kumbu to life for a whole new audience. ​ In this episode, we talk about: 🧶 The Career Shift: Why an investment banker decided to trade the boardroom for the workshop - and the moment she realized heritage needed a business mind to survive. 🎨 Keeping the Soul: How to innovate for high-end luxury markets, and around things people want to use and wear today, without losing the technical "heart" of the craft. 🏔️ Real Empowerment: The reality of working with remote communities and what it really takes to build a supply chain in the heart of the rainforest. 🎭 Protecting the Story: Why Jacqueline turned to musical theatre to safeguard the human stories and motifs that belong to the weavers. 💙 The Long Game: Moving toward a future where "Artisan" is seen by the next generation as a prestigious, stable, and forward-looking profession. .
