Let's, let's take it back, and tell us what led you on this journey to open up Matcha Magic.

So it all started when I traveled to Japan for the first time.

Um, I went out there not knowing what to expect.

It was pretty much a culture shock.

Um, but based on what my brother, um, told me about it, I was very excited to try all the new things, and then when I went into all the matcha cafes, I was like, "This is so intentional, so calm and relaxing," and all of the drinks were amazing.

Um, so I was like, "This is, this is something I wanna try, um, and kind of bring, bring that back and go to the United States and travel and try all of the different cafes that are in Chicago, New York, and all of that." So I was really excited about, um, that journey, and it really stemmed from that first trip to Japan, and then I would go about every six months and I would bring back what I could, all matcha Kit Kats, everything, so it was really exciting.

Um, so that's kinda where it all stemmed from, but also kinda tying into my travels as a flight attendant, um, I would use those benefits to kind of go around.

But how do you feel that maybe works for you or against you, um, in trying to hire?
