Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Aaron Tsai. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Aaron, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Do you take vacations? Why or why not?
Of course! Vacations are a great time to rest and slow down a bit. I take them quite a bit and usually like to explore a new city or somewhere natural (ex. parks, beaches). I usually travel with friends and family, but I have gone solo before. Vacations also are a great source of inspiration, and I’ll often try new chai spots.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
In the past few years, I found myself doing work or studying in coffee shops. However, I rarely drink coffee.
What to order instead? Chai and chai lattes. It soon became a drink of choice, and after a while, I thought “why don’t I blog about chai and chai lattes?”. Hence the birth of @trysomechai, a page in which I rate chai drinks and products from various stores and shops.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I mainly post for fun and do not always expect a certain number of likes on my posts, but it took a while for my page to get the following it has today.
Learning how other IG foodies post and engage with their audiences was definitely helpful. I was also fortunate enough to meet several foodies in person through a previous coworker, and staying engaged in the foodie community helped grow my account following.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
Shoe Dog by Phil Knight is a great book that has shown me how to be resilient in business and that having a global perspective is vital for success. It is also just a great read. I am also subscribed to a few email newsletters and YouTube channels and keep up to date on trends through IG.
