Ellen Chen (Founder of Mendocino Farms Restaurant) on selling happy, finding your why and getting better every day.

In this episode - you'll hear from Ellen Chen - co-founder of
Mendocino Farms Restaurant, the incredibly popular neighborhood
sandwich restaurant and how it all started. It is clear that
Ellen and her team want to make a difference in their journey to
"Selling Happy" - a difference for Mendocino Farms employees, for
the farms and farmers that they partnered up with and for each
neighborhood they open a location in. And their guests are eating
it up...


Mendocino Farms really does sell happy.... but it wasn't always
sunshine and rainbows.


Ellen and I talk about the struggles - with her start in the
restaurant business, about her in-laws taking a second mortgage
on their home and loaning them the money and to cleaning
bathrooms. Her professional failure included a restaurant in
Southern CA and the personal failure she mentions at the end of
the show is one that everyone can learn from....
