In this episode, host Spencer Lowe interviewed Paul Shin, who shares his journey from being the CMO of Incorporate Massage to co-founding Tacos Together. They discuss the balance between relationships and business transactions. Paul recalls his challenging life from a demanding job that had him frequently traveling and under constant stress, leading to personal and professional crises.
