S11-E1: Krista Goon
Podcast Host, Womenpreneur Asia
After 155 episodes across 10 seasons, I’ve learned that growth begets more growth. When we raise the voices of women who are building in Hong Kong, India, Vietnam, Singapore, and beyond, the ripple effect reaches far wider than a single show. This is about building credibility, opening doors and creating real opportunities for each other.

This final episode of Season 10 is a deep dive into how a passion for French pastry can become a sustainable, story-driven business in Asia. Xiao-Ly Koh shares how she balances art and passion with the realities of running a retail patisserie and online store, educating customers about French pastry, leveraging visuals and storytelling in marketing and building a lasting legacy. It’s a practical look at turning creative craft into an approachable, local-flavored brand.
