Out of the office, finance technology (fintech) startup entrepreneur John Joseph Gabriel “JG” Puzon spends his downtime either playing with his four-year-old daughter Nikki or building his next piece of furniture.

His hobby sprung from his precision and a constant thirst for challenge. JG recalls: “One time I wanted to buy a table. Hindi ko mahanap ‘yung gusto kong table. [So,] sabi ko, gagawa na lang ako. (I couldn’t find a table I liked. So, I said I would make one myself).”
