No stranger to the TEDx stage. Building on her powerful TEDxWanChai Women talk in 2015, Lori talks about taking a chance on YOU and not focusing on what other people think about you, but rather what you think about yourself. The road to success is paved with failure and determination. From mother, to chef, to entrepreneur her journey was anything but smooth, but it was all worth it! Lori Granito is the founder of Kitchen Sync, Hong Kong’s first culinary incubator for start up food entrepreneurs. She is also the owner of Go Gourmet Catering and the award winning Magnolia private kitchen. She is the co-founder of Little Burro, a growing chain of San Francisco Mission style burrito restaurants. Lori was responsible for the development and marketing of her company’s concepts, including implementing the marketing plans, developing all dishes, organizing all PR, as well as the recruitment and training of staff. The ongoing success of her companies is directly attributable to her vision, energy and skills. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
