We had the good fortune of connecting with Kenshi Kobayashi and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kenshi, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I don’t know that I would have come this far in my life and career without taking some risks. And Kenchan Ramen definitely wouldn’t exist without risk taking. I took a leap of faith and moved from my hometown in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania (shoutout to the mushroom capital of the world!) to LA, a new city with no friends or family. After two years at a comfortable corporate job, I took an even bigger leap by leaving to join a start-up. Then 2020 happened, and the pandemic changed everything. As risky as it seemed, I took the biggest risk of my life so far and dropped everything to pin it all on Kenchan Ramen, which was just a fun side-project up until then.
