Life is full of messy twists and turns. But as our next guest reveals, that’s exactly what makes it beautiful. 

At just sixteen, Kim Pham fell in love with startups. This unexpected love affair continued throughout her days at Business School, and even pushed her to take a job halfway across the world. Then, with a strike of happenstance (and a sprinkle of serendipity), Kim discovered it was time to take a bold leap and create something beautiful of her own. 

Now, Kim is the co-founder of OmSom, a new-gen food brand that proudly brings bold Asian flavours to American homes. Kim has also been honoured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List in 2017 for her incredible work in the startup space.
