We talk with Mayly Tao about owning and operating DK's Donuts, the incredible history of donuts in America, and how to build a brand in the 21st century. Mayly is amazing and this podcast was a ton of fun!
Mayly Tao is the owner and operator of DK's Donuts in Santa Monica. She has self-proclaimed herself as the Donut Princess, and has a donut bouquet delivery company in addition to about 1000 other awesome projects. She's been featured in every major food media you can think of - and has debuted her donuts around the world.
