Today’s guest, Shuang Shuang Liang of the infamous @shunagys_kitchensink, shares her journey from corporate career to entrepreneur and how it all began with a hobby. Growing up, Shuangy never imagined herself as an entrepreneur as her life was on a set course for a corporate career. Facing societal and traditional expectations, Shuany continued on the path and landed the ideal corporate job.
