In the final episode of Season 1, Rayna talks with Ph.D. student and entrepreneur Michiko Thwe about her sushi business aimed to help immigrants start a new life in the United States. As a Burmese immigrant herself, Michiko understands the need to help others get their feet off the ground in a new country. Working and studying in the Philadelphia area, Michiko works with her team to teach immigrants how to run their own sushi business whether that is a sit-down restaurant, franchise, or food truck. Her company Sushi Awarsei is Japanese and roughly translates to sushi brings happiness. Fun fact, Michiko is a former student of Rayna's when she taught high school history at the American International School of Myanmar from 2007-2009.

In this episode, Rayna talks with first-generation Mexican American entrepreneur Maria Hoban about her boudoir photography business Rebellious Angels Boudoir Photography. For those unfamiliar with boudoir photography, it focuses on capturing the female form in intimate settings. Maria has had a fascination with photography since she was in high school but was constantly told that is not a real career. She tried other career paths but nothing felt right. It wasn't until she was in her mid-20s that she decided to go for it and make a living as a photographer. 5 years later, Maria has now crafted a successful business that empowers women of all ages but especially those who need to get back a lost part of themselves.
