  • Jingjin Liu, founder of ZaZaZu, on leaving a C-level corporate job for entrepreneurship and exiting her business unexpectedly right before the pandemic
  • Naman Tekriwal, co-founder of Breer, on turning leftover bread into beer, learning to brew from scratch with YouTube tutorials and finding product-market fit
