Ever sat through a business meeting where the same people do all the talking, the same ideas keep coming up, and nothing really changes?

What if your next big business breakthrough could come from playing with LEGO?

Sounds crazy? Think again!

Meet Myke Santos, founder of Brick Management Consulting, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator, and author of Brick by Brick: Building the Change You Want.

After more than 25 years in the corporate world, Myke took an unconventional entrepreneurial path—turning a childhood toy into a powerful business tool for unlocking creativity, breaking down workplace hierarchies, and solving complex business challenges.

And here's what's fascinating: Sometimes the best business ideas come from the people who rarely speak up in meetings!

In this episode of The RJ Ledesma Podcast, I reconnect with my former high school classmate to discover how he built a business around LEGO and how entrepreneurs can use play to solve real business problems.

And yes, we actually got to play with LEGO bricks during the podcast! You'll get to see firsthand how this unconventional methodology works.

Because sometimes, to build a better business, you first need to rediscover how to play.

Miguel Tan didn’t exactly choose to enter the family business early.

The responsibility simply fell on his lap.

While he was still in high school, his father suffered a serious medical emergency, and Miguel suddenly had to step in and learn the business the only way he could—on the job.

He had to understand an industry he was still new to, work with people far more experienced than him, earn the respect of employees and partners, and prove that his age didn’t define his ability to lead.

Years later, Miguel has grown Fasclad into a company that works with some of the country’s leading property developers, including Ayala Land, SM Prime, Robinsons Land, Rockwell Land, and Filinvest.

So how do you lead when responsibility comes before you feel ready?

How do you earn the trust of an industry when you’re one of the youngest people in the room?

And what did Miguel learn along the way about leadership, resilience, and growing a business?

What if you could run your business more efficiently, respond to customers faster, and automate repetitive tasks—all without hiring more people?

And what if the entrepreneur helping businesses do all this was someone who started her company while she was still in college?

Meet Sophia Sy, founder of SOFI AI Tech Solutions, a young entrepreneur who is helping Filipino businesses harness the power of artificial intelligence!

Entrepreneurship has always been in Sophia’s DNA. From selling at bazaars as a child to running small side hustles in school, she was already learning the ropes of business long before launching her own startup.

As the daughter of Steve Sy, founder of Great Deals E-Commerce, Sophia grew up surrounded by entrepreneurship. But rather than simply following in her father’s footsteps, she decided to carve out her own path.

Armed with her savings, entrepreneurial instincts, and a vision for the future, she launched SOFI AI during her final term in college—even without a technical background!

Today, SOFI AI is helping businesses explore how AI-powered customer service, automation, and smarter workflows can transform the way they operate.

🎙️ In this episode of The RJ Ledesma Podcast, we talk about growing up in an entrepreneurial family, building a startup before you’re fully ready, overcoming the challenges of being a young founder, and why AI could be one of the biggest opportunities for Filipino MSMEs.

Can the next generation of Filipino entrepreneurs use AI to compete with much bigger businesses?

Find out in this exciting conversation with Sophia Sy!
