About this listen

Amanda Kwan works her corporate marketing job from 8:30am to 6:30pm. Then she preps food until 2am for her underground dining concept that seats 22 people and has a 400-person waitlist. She sleeps 4-6 hours a night. She hosts 60-person Thanksgivings. And she chose all of this.

What You'll Learn:

  • The invisible labor of being The Organizer: the friend who remembers birthdays, makes reservations, hosts everything
  • How she manages calls at 3am with Japan and 11pm with the West Coast
  • Starting a private dining concept during COVID that turned into a 400-person waitlist, all word of mouth
  • Her "if I die tomorrow, I'd die happy" operating principle

About Amanda: Amanda Kwan runs global marketing for a Hong Kong brand while operating Savour Cinema, an underground dining concept she co-founded during COVID. She also runs an events company, organizes TEDx talks, and leads Women of Influence at AmCham Hong Kong.
