This episode is one you will want to listen to! We were honored to have Chef Minnie Nguyen who is a leader in the Sacramento restaurant industry with owning two Firehouse Crawfish locations, Station 38 Coffee, Station 16 Seafood Restaurant & Bar, and Station 8 Burger with her husband. After graduating from Sacramento State with a Social Science Degree she was asking what she wanted to do for a career and over a decade later she has created a legacy for her and her family in Sacramento. Minnie gives great information for anyone to learn from especially if you want to own your own restaurant or get involved in the restaurant industry at all. Also gives some of the harsh realities that entrepreneurs will have to face if they want to be successful in the restaurant industry.

In this Episode we get to connect with other podcasters Josh & Deb from the Connectable podcast. Having a group of podcasters on this episode we were really able to develop a great conversion on why we podcast and how it can help everyone involved including the listeners. Josh & Deb come from a sports background and had it involved in every part of their life. They moved forward with a podcast interviewing high school coaches and talking about how to build character in their high school athletes. As great as the podcast was both Josh & Deb moved forward with the Connectable podcast to have a father reach and interview a variety of people. That being the goal because they understood the importance of podcasting and how ti can help peoples day and help them learn.
