Chef Ann Ahmed joins us to discuss supply chain leadership and the power of resilience. In this special on-location episode recorded at Khâluna, the acclaimed chef-owner of Lat 14, Lemon Grass, and Gai Noi sits down to discuss how she operationalizes compassion and navigates risk in the high-pressure culinary world.

Chef Ann shares her incredible journey, from buying her first restaurant over the phone without seeing the kitchen to expanding her empire during the pandemic to revitalize her community. She opens up about the Laotian concept of "Oat-ton," her transition from a teacher to a "boss lady," and how she balances the rigid demands of business with the flexibility needed to thrive.
