In this episode I talk with Laura Ung, a performance marketing manager by day and along with her partner Stewart is a tea master when not at her 9-5.
Coming from Southeast Asia, she trod an uncommon path, navigating language barriers, cultural differences, and a challenging experience with a micromanager that ultimately led her to carve out her own path in the business landscape.
Turning their passion for tea into a thriving business, Laura and Stewart created Hungry Tea Masters, a unique platform to promote tea appreciation events.
We'll explore her marketing strategies, the channels she uses to promote her business, and her vision for the future of Hungry Tea Masters.
Listen in as Laura shares her insights on hosting virtual events, her take on alcohol-free gatherings, and her experiences leveraging Eventbrite.
Laura's entrepreneurial journey extends beyond her tea business. As a prominent member of the Southeast Asian Entrepreneur network, she sees the power of community bonding and networking first hand.
Hear about her experiences living in various German cities, from the welcoming environment of Dresden to well, a little less welcoming Munich.
We'll also delve into a brush with a business scam and how it promted Laura and Stewart to found a group for South East Asian entrepreneurs.
This episode is full of insights, whether you're a burgeoning entrepreneur, a tea enthusiast, or someone trying to adapt to life in Germany.
