#74: Building A Business In Myanmar: Nourish Cafe's Jojo & Jerome

Jojo & Jerome are the power couple behind Yangon Yoga House, Nourish Cafe, and Bliss Bar. Yangon Yoga House is Yangon's first English-speaking studio, Nourish Cafe is one of Yangon's only fully vegan restaurants, and Bliss Bar is a cruelty-free beauty salon.

Jojo grew up in NYC, Jerome grew up in France, and they both worked in the corporate world separately. Now they live together in Yangon, tirelessly working on their 3 successful businesses (and are planning to open more). 

Some of the topics we cover: 

Their long distance love story Why they chose to move to Myanmar Why Jojo got fired from her job in Yangon How Nourish cafe was born Why they made Nourish vegan What they’ve learned since growing a business together

... and more!
