Open Belly Podcast

Meet Jackie Nguyen of Cafe Cà Phê. Jackie's brand new Vietnamese mobile coffee shop, which rolls out later this month, is about to be the hottest coffee shop in Kansas City. When I first heard about Jackie's story, I was inspired by her drive, passion, and willingness to put herself out there to become a first-time business owner in a city where she had only lived for 3 months. After exceeding her Kickstarter goal and gaining a ton of support from the community, I have no doubt that she'll have a huge cult following in no time. Take a listen to her story on today's episode, wherever you get your podcasts! 📸:
