December 31, 20242 min read

Are you afraid to ask questions or seek help? You might be surprised to learn that this hesitation could be holding you back from achieving your goals. Successful people aren’t afraid to ask for support, and Yvon Bock, Founder and Managing Director of Hegen, is living proof of that.

Starting with zero knowledge in retail branding, Yvon sought help from a friend to organise her very first launch party—after spending five years developing the now-iconic square baby bottle without any income. Her willingness to ask for help was a key factor in turning her vision into the thriving business that Hegen is today.

In this inspiring conversation, Yvon shares valuable insights about curiosity, perseverance, and why collaboration is crucial for success.
