MEET HOL GUEST: TONY INNOUVONG
In episode 16 of HOL, Tony joins Rita for a conversation about being a conduit for Lao familial legacies through his tie business-- from which he creates with Lao textiles call “sinh”. From there, Tony shares how his mom is his motivation and how he hopes to pay her back so she can live a life similar to the one she’s built for him. He drives this energy into various business ventures, including promoting his brand called “Het Dee Dai Dee” OR ”Do Good, Get Good.”
Today, Tony travels the world with his wife and works with clients from underrepresented backgrounds to promote their brands through KitsCreativ, a co-owned website design agency.
