Riding Tiger Podcast

What makes some brands timeless, while others come and go? To find out, we sat down with Jeremy Pelley - an accomplished creative director who's helped build and define some of the timeless brands we all know.    In this episode, we discuss how he began his career, the importance of branding, and how to get started yourself. Listen in and learn!

We're back with our second episode, featuring Lisa Tran, a fellow entrepreneur and owner of Tan Tan Cafe & Delicatessen - a popular cafe in Beaverton, Oregon that's been serving authentic Vietnamese for over 20 years. Lisa shares her family's story, and how they've grown from her grandmother's pho stand in Vietnam to a bustling cafe in Oregon with a line of delicious sauces available in grocery stores. Hear how Lisa navigated the unique challenges of working in a family business, found her own voice, and helped build the Tan Tan brand.

We’re honored to have Katie Poppe, founder of Blue Star Donuts, Boxer Ramen, and Little Big Burger, as our very first guest on the Riding Tiger podcast. In our time together, she talks about where she started, past projects, life experiences, and how she found herself starting businesses around the world. She addresses her fear of failure and putting everything you have into a project with no guarantee of success.
