Summary (TLDR)
On today’s show, Rocky Yoneyama joins us from Okayama Kobo Bakery in Anaheim, CA. Rocky grew up as the son of two successful entrepreneurs that built their businesses on Guam. Looking to expand beyond his small island home, Rocky went to school here in Southern California, and eventually worked in New York and Japan, before settling in Orange County. He shares details on the four (yes four!) business he currently runs, and his plans for the future.
