Scaling a Home-Grown Business with Melanie Ang of Backcountry Wok

“Whenever people ask me about the growth trajectory, I don’t feel like I’ve come that far. But when I reflect back to the full three or four years, it’s like, wow, we’ve actually done so much. But because it’s been such a gradual progression of small steps along the way, it really adds up to such a momentous journey." —Melanie Ang, founder of Backcountry Wok In this episode: Join Melanie Ang, Founder of SheEO Venture Backcountry Wok, and SheEO founder Vicki Saunders, as they discuss Melanie’s journey as an entrepreneur and what led her to begin her Venture.
