Last week, we gave you the first half of our interview with Seoul Taco Founder David Choi. If you didn't catch that part of our conversation, we encourage you to go back and check it out.

Since starting his Seoul Taco business eight years ago, Choi has expanded to seven total locations in Illinois and Missouri.

Today, we continue our conversation with Choi and learn more about his business philosophy, his work in the communities he serves, and what’s next for Seoul Taco.

Before you’re ready for a full-fledged “Business War,” you need to start somewhere. David Choi put it all on the line and drained his bank account to buy his first food truck. 

Eight years later, Choi’s bold vision for Korean and Mexican fusion has made an impact on the culinary scene. 

In this episode, we hear from Choi about his humble beginnings, his hustle, and the importance of small businesses.

The girls pry into Youtuber/Singer/Business owner David Choi's life and ruin the image that we grew up to know and love back in the late 2000's when Youtube was first on the rise. So much thanks to David Choi, who is a listener and fan of SMAD, for joining us on this episode and letting us lightly expose him.
