We've all encountered instant foods. The trend of convenience took over American society after World War II and dominated the consumer market with a big assist from the microwave oven. You could eat instant oatmeal in the morning, a cup of noodles for lunch, and a TV dinner at night, all ready to eat with the touch of a few buttons on your microwave. Eventually, consumers realized that the trade-off of convenience for nutrition was not in their best interest. And thus the better-for-you market was born. There are many brands within this new market that have shunned the "instant" label, not wanting to be associated with the unhealthy connotations that the label brings with it. Our guest today is Kevin Lee, co-founder of immi, a brand that has innovated its way into becoming a healthier instant ramen option. Listen in as we cover everything from not knowing how to ask for help (and why that's a cultural problem), why starting a company has involved equal parts personal and professional development, and why you shouldn't overthink which social media platform you use to reach your audience.
