This week I am joined by Maiy, we talk about her journey working at foot stores. How she found herself working in corporate Foot Locker. What she really went to school for. Growing up with immigrant parents and why they want to open up a store. Her transition to working at Hoka and their recent success. Finding culture and embracing culture, plus much much more.
