In today's episode, I am super excited to share my interview with Eric Chen, a creator of Sabobatage, a boba card game that he launched on Kickstarter early this year and raised over $148,000! We talked about how he came up with the idea and how he turned this idea into a reality in a span of a year. If you like boba, card game, business, or a combination of the three (me!), you'd love this episode.
