In this episode, she shares how the company grew from a humble brick-and-mortar eatery into a dynamic multi-channel business, now breaking into food service with partnerships at UBC and SFU. Along the way, Mayumi opens up about the challenges and beauty of working with her siblings, raising teenagers while running multiple businesses, and the quiet resilience it takes to lead with both heart and intention. From grieving the loss of a parent to embracing the unexpected joy of teenage motherhood, this conversation is rich with vulnerability, strength, and the kind of wisdom only lived experience can offer.
