What's something unexpected about your career path?

I [Irene] actually wanted to be a journalist. But obviously my parents were very against that. Because typically, you know, they wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer or something more stable. Not that I became anything stable in the end. But all to say, being an entrepreneur was never promoted in my direct family. I think it's funny, because to jump two to three generations before me, we're all entrepreneurs. But then once we came to America, I think it kind of got squashed and like, do something stable and you know, get the professional degrees. I'm hoping to spark this for people — there can be a different version of entrepreneurship that works for you. And that traditional monolith of what an entrepreneur looks like? It's a myth. There are plenty of people who are more risk averse, because of their upbringing, or don't look like you or come from non traditional backgrounds. It's not rocket science, it's grit and curiosity.

Who fuels you to do your work?

Our customers, my boys and our early supporters.

Give me your hottest take about pregnancy/motherhood/postpartum care?

This country doesn't do a good job of taking care of mothers who are at the core of society. Its a shame, a disservice and completely humiliating.

Jennifer:
SO many. But I think the first time I went to Europe - I was able to visit a friend in Norway and had deer for the first time! Scandinavian cuisine is delicious and home cooked full of love. Also, their salmon is absolute perfection.
