Kay & Shi
When Kay and Shila were 10 and 17, their parents quit their careers and "bet it all" to buy a tiny breakfast restaurant in a California ski town. These sisters instantly gained a front row seat to the drama of American entrepreneurship, all while bussing tables and working the new family business on the daily. As they became adults, they joined the ownership and helped grow the business into a national brand featured on Food Network and in the New York Times. With Mom and Dad now retired, Kay and Shila lead the business as it serves millions of guests across multiple states each year. Often recognized for their unique marketing strategies and dedication to development Kay and Shila find that their love for each other fuels their drive and success.
Since 2015 Kay and Shila have shared their stories and strategies as speakers and podcasts hosts, and as the marketing faculty for leadership expert and bestselling author John Maxwell's global team of speakers, coaches and trainers. They now partner with expert thought leaders, like Joseph McClendon III, to help them build their certification programs and licensed content, and love to help build legacy projects that impact the education industry. Kay and Shila live in Reno Nevada with their husbands and children, and can often be found doing puzzles, watching Disney movies, and singing songs from Hamilton.
