The Uncommon Life

Uncommon Personalities: Meet Shao Li

April 1, 2014

Shao Li
Shao Li, UncommonGoods Senior Manager – Operations
My hometown is…
I was born in Northern China and moved to Shenzhen, a Southern city next to Hong Kong, at an age of 6.

When I was little, I dreamed of…
Being a general, leading an army to conquer the world so I can print my own currency and have unlimited cash.

My favorite place to hang out in New York City is…
Chinatown, I love the food there!

The most challenging thing I’ve ever done is…
Swim 5 miles non-stop at an age of 11 in cold water.

My favorite process in the UncommonGoods Warehouse is…
Conveyors! I love to see them in action!

An uncommon fact about me…
I have the ability to fall asleep in a few minutes even with a lot of noise around me. There were a few times that I fell asleep while people were still talking to me.

Working at UncommonGoods, I’ve learned…
How talented people are here and I should never stop learning from the people around me.

Would you rather…be able to control your dreams, or to watch them on video the next day?

I would rather be able to do both! So I can review my dreams the next day to figure out what can be done better so next time I can control and make a better dream!
