We were lucky to catch up with Emily Hoang recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Emily with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
My work ethic finds its roots in my mother’s entrepreneurial spirit, a driving force that continues to inspire me daily. Throughout my upbringing, her unwavering dedication to providing for my two siblings and me was a testament to her diligence. As a first-generation college graduate, I owe my present accomplishments to her unwavering support, which enabled me to pursue higher education at George Mason University.
Currently, I am the owner of two businesses: a social media agency and a personal venture as a content creator for my food-centric Instagram and TikTok channels. My relentless commitment stems from the aspiration to reciprocate the care and sacrifices my mother bestowed upon our family. I strive to create a prosperous future, ensuring the well-being of my family, much like my mother’s invaluable contributions.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I consider myself exceptionally fortunate to engage in work that aligns with my passions and aspirations. I am the proprietor of a social media agency, Fun Food Group, as well as an additional venture as a content creator, offering insights on culinary destinations and activities. In my role as a managing partner at Fun Food Group, we specialize in assisting restaurants in establishing their brand identities across social media platforms. This encompasses the spectrum of content creation, strategic posting, and comprehensive social media management.
Simultaneously, my capacity as a content creator allows me to collaborate extensively with businesses. The transformative influence of a single viral video on an business is truly remarkable. Witnessing the tangible impact on these businesses is incredibly rewarding. The satisfaction that comes from assisting businesses, while also showcasing top-notch restaurants and popular leisure activities, is beyond measure.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The journey has been shaped significantly by three important skills: being consistent, staying passionate, and adapting. Consistency was key in my content creation journey, where I had to make sure I kept posting regularly and staying committed. My passion is what keeps me going – without it, I wouldn’t have the energy to do what I love, and I might not even still be creating content. Adaptation is crucial because social media is always changing. New trends pop up, and new platforms emerge. So, being flexible and open to learning new things is essential to keep up with the ever-changing social media landscape.
For those embarking on a journey into content creation, my advice is simple: ensure you genuinely enjoy it. This pursuit should stem from your own passion, not external pressures. By staying true to your enthusiasm, burnout can be curtailed, ensuring a fulfilling and enduring venture.
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
When I feel overwhelmed, I find it beneficial to pause and disengage from the source of stress. Engaging in activities that redirect my focus, such as playing tennis or working out, helps alleviate the pressure.
