Morning Assembly: 03. Amanda Noguchi

 

On episode 3 we talk with Amanda Noguchi, Owner and Creative Director of Under My Umbrella, Co-Owner of Pili Group and Co-Founder of Chef Hui. A snapshot in time, we get to hear about Amanda’s early beginnings, how she scared Ryan, and how she truly lives her values through her work and her love for the community. With this podcast we mark another successful partnership in the books.

Some topics we discuss:

  • Fundraising in the COVID era

  • How to live your mission

  • The one mistake all NPOs make during an event

  • How to balance work and family life

  • How Chef Hui thrived during COVID
