Hear Us Roar

Tune in to learn about why April feels strongly that the perfect time to start a business is now, what you're really saying with your consumer decisions, and how to push past the fear of networking to accelerate your dreams. She also goes on to share big and small steps we can all take towards living a more generous lifestyle.

Coffee Meets Bagel was birthed from a need. Dawoon Kang and her two sisters knew all too well the struggles of finding a life partner in New York City, which is why they set out to create an app that was focused on fostering meaningful human connections—Coffee, for the perfect first date, and Bagel, as an ode to NYC.

I can't help but admire Dawoon for her sharp wit and keen sense of self. It's obvious from our conversation that her killer instincts come from not only experience, but also from a deep understanding of who she is as a woman, a sister, a daughter, and an entrepreneur. She's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to building a thriving app in an all too cluttered environment, and is a master at cultivating genuine and meaningful interpersonal engagements through technology.

In this premiere episode of the podcast, you'll find out what it was like for me to move to the United States from China at the age of 8, how R&B music changed my life, and why it's so important for me to share journeys down the road not taken as a proud Asian American female.
