Reinventing makgeolli with Carol Pak

Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Loud Slurp podcast! For this episode, we are so glad to have Carol Pak, the founder and CEO of Makku to recount her journey from working at the venture division of the world's largest alcohol company AB InBev to launching Makku, a company dedicated to reinventing the traditional Korean alcohol makgeolli. In this engrossing conversation, Carol tells the origin story of the popular Korean drink makgeolli and how she envisions the sweet, milky, tangy, alcoholic drink as part of the modern American diet. She also candidly shares with us what it's like to be a woman entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry and during the tumultuous time that is COVID-19.
