What inspired you to start a talent management agency and a coffee business?

After being in this field for several years now and see how myself grow and other people grow, I learned more than ever from the business side of it. It’s definitely time for me to take a bigger next step expanding into business that is more sustainable. As for the coffee business, the idea started from not being able to go out to get coffees in this pandemic, and beyond from what is expected, it turns to be my side hustle.
