Putting Wellness First and Reimagining a Brand with Stephanie Morimoto

Episode 152: It’s Women’s History Month and the theme for 2022 is "Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope." Today’s guest, owner and CEO of Asutra Stephanie Morimoto, embodies and demonstrates this theme by providing good, living wage jobs with career pathways at her women-owned and women-led company.
