Speaker 1: How you doing? Are you tired?

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: I was saying to Sistey and Tanya that I read

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: at California's rank the sleepiest state in the United States,

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: and then Sysney says, because we got a hustle. That's

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: why afore the price of California. You got a hustle, right,

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: all right, So we're gonna do the hometown hustler segment.

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: This is one of our favorite segments. If you're going

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: after your passion, something you love, maybe you quit your

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: normal job to do it, and you're making it work.

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: That's what this is. Hometown hustle. I'm a hustle bait.

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: So this is not a fulletin. Do you like potstickers?

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: Who does not like a potsticker, especially when they're golden

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: brown from the pan? So this hometown hustler launched their

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: business in twenty twenty when the entire family lost their

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: jobs in the pandemic. Oh my goodness, father daughter duo,

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: Ken and Becky took a leap of faith and launched

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: Ken's Pork Sticker. That takes some bravery here. Becky Morales

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,600

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: While we're talking here, they're unbelievably like golden brown in

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: the photo. So, Becky, here's what I want to hone

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: in on because I think a lot of people toy

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: with this idea of going after it right something they'd

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: love to do, But it's really hard to walk away

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: from a steady thing and a normal thing that you're

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: doing every day that you're used to doing your routine.

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: How did you guys make the decision to go for

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: it and create this business?

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: So our venture actually began during the pandemic. My family,

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: my dad and my stepmom lost their jobs when the

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: pandemic started because they worked in their restaurant industry, and

41
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: so we had to kind of pivot and think, what

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: can my family do where they can still pursue their

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: passion for food and do something that they love, right.

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: And so one random day, my dad made dumplings and

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: gave it to my husband and I to try, and

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: we were like, well, these dumplings are actually pretty good,

47
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: Like where did you buy them, Dad? And he told

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: us that he made them, and so from there he

49
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: made more batches of dumplings for us to share with

50
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: friends and family, and we received a lot of positive feedback.

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: And this is when I had an idea, like a

52
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: light bulb moment in my head, and I said, Dad,

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: would you be interested and start a small business and

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: selling these dumplings. We've received so much feedback, I think

55
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: this is a venture that we should pursue and it

56
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: will help us overcome the hardships caused by the pandemic.

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: So it's true when they say adversity is an opportunity

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: in disguise, because we just pursued it and here we

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: are today, three years later, still operating.

60
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I love that story so much.

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: And how do people get the pot stickers or the

62
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: porkstickers from you.

63
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: So, we are currently in one brick and mortar in

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. Their name is El Serino Green Grocer. We

Speaker 3: also sell our frozen dumplings online and so we offer
