Eugene Jung is the founder of Touring Coffee Roasters here in PDX. If you're looking for inspiration to solve a problem, begin your entrepreneurial journey, or start something new, this episode will blow you away.

Eugene talks about his coffee journey that started in an Amazon warehouse just after an episode of Shark Tank featuring him and his brother aired.

After having laid off all his employees due to Covid, Eugene found himself noticing an interesting pattern at his picking pod at Amazon, and Touring Coffee Roasters was born.
