Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
The silent moment before the storm, where everything seems to watch from afar with caution. Not knowing what is to come. To me that is my most treasured moment. It allows me to embrace my blessings, thankful for the lessons I have learned, dig into a creative space of silence and ideas. This moment allows me to silently watch my world from a different point of view.

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
We are getting real personal (hahaha). But I am a believer in sharing a small part of your vulnerability, because I think that is a true form of humility and self-reflection. The biggest lie I tell myself is “I will do it later, or when I am ready”, intentionally creating invisible obstacle in my head, which arise from self-doubts. I am currently working on approaching it differently, I will report back with results!

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Not entirely. The real me is currently under growth and progress.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
If I can speak for my customers, I would say, besides the yummy food and boba milk tea is our friendships. We have built a community of friends who enjoys Vietnamese food and boba tea. We keep it simple and authentic, with our products and ourselves.
