Ashley Du was living on her own and working before she was 15 years old. She got married, had two kids, and got divorced before she was 21. For most, that would be a recipe for a life of struggle and problems, but Ashley turned it around and started her own childcare business in San Francisco, which she has run and grown to a lucrative business for over 13 years (expanding to a 3rd location in San Mateo in 2026)!

We had a great chat, and I am impressed by all she's accomplished and become. I hope you enjoy our chat!

We're still chillaxing during our winter break, but here's one of my favorite interviews from 2023. It's with Lan Lam! If you watch America's Test Kitchen or Techniquely, you've seen Lan. She is so great at explaining food and food science that kitchen noobs and experienced cooks can all learn from her!

This chat was so much fun, we've had Lan on a few more times! (with Andrea Nguyen, ep 84, and the intro for Sarah Ahn, ep 167)

I hope you're having a wonderful end of the year. Happy New Year to everyone! And we'll be back with new episodes in January!

Happy Holidays to all who are celebrating! I'm taking 2 weeks off, but just in case you need something to listen to on a drive, your walk, while you're wrapping presents, or in the kitchen... here's a replay of an episode from March 2023!

Stephanie Jae Park grew up on Guam. Her mom is a professional opera singer. Stephanie started performing on Broadway, NYC in the days before Hamilton, when the roles she would be considered for were limited. The musical Hamilton changed all of that! I hope you enjoy this episode, no matter what you're doing this week!
