Meet Emmy Kaplan: founder of Emmy's Spaghetti Shack in San Francisco. 26 years ago, she opened this iconic neighborhood spot with no money, no permits, and a baby on the way. With grit and a sense of punk rock and fun, she brought the restaurant to life and ushered it into its next phase.

And after surviving the Dot Com Bubble, Housing Bubble, and COVID, her biggest advice: keep your accounting tight and don't spend what you don't need to.
