[FOOD] [GRIEF]

#13: In this episode, we meet Miki Talebi, the founder of Oome. With a Ph.D. in Psychology and experience in public policy, Miki's path to entrepreneurship began after reevaluating her career during her maternity leave and the sudden tragic loss of her father in 2020. Oome, inspired by her Japanese heritage and her father's love for smoked foods, has grown to be stocked in over 250 retailers across Canada. Miki shares her journey from being an academic to a business owner, the challenges faced, and the deep personal connections that fuel her brand.
