Business leaders are always looking for new ways to make their brands stand out. There are opportunities everywhere, but the most significant ones usually come up when you identify a personal, specific and often ignored pain point.

It was the alcohol flush effect for me, which is also known as the "Asian glow." I've had this issue for a long time but quickly discovered that I wasn't the only one. That event changed everything and set the stage for what would become an incredible venture.

If you want to boost your sales by solving a real problem, let me share how identifying a specific pain point in the market transformed my journey — and how it can totally do the same for you.

Like many in the Asian community, I've dealt with alcohol flush reactions all my life. The redness, the heat, the discomfort — it was all too familiar. What started as an occasional nuisance quickly became something that shaped how I navigated social settings. Events with friends and colleagues were filled with awkward excuses about why I didn't want another drink or why I'd have to sit this one out.

Alcohol flush reaction can really take a toll on confidence, making social events feel more like a challenge than a good time. #FOMO is real. The more I connected with people, the more I saw how common this issue really is — and still, it felt like no one was stepping up to deal with it. A lightbulb moment hit me. This is the pain point that no one's talking about, but everyone's dealing with.

The thought wasn't just about creating another product. I wanted to solve something personal and real for people who were experiencing the same thing I was.
