I Quit My Job To Make Chai

This week… we’re sitting down with Monica Sunny, founder of The Chai Box, who just opened Atlanta’s first dedicated chai cafe

We’re getting her full story like where she’s from, how a family chai ritual turned into a nationally recognized brand, and everything that went into opening the cafe

Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛
