    • Self-Improvement

Now What? listeners definitely know by now that we are not afraid to talk about failures and the crucial moments that happen after. And host Artemis Kohas is thrilled that Anastasia Koutsioukis went there! Anastasia is the founder and creative force behind Mandolin Aegean Bistro, Mr.Mandolin, and The Drexel, all located in Miami. She also curates the Mrs. Mandolin lifestyle brand, bringing design elements from her beautiful restaurants right to your home.

When Anastasia started her restaurant 12 years ago, she would have never envisioned that it would turn into an entire brand built around the Aegean culture. It was about more than the food - it was a desire to share culture, to spread a way of living through simplicity, authenticity, and a slower pace. But it wasn't without bumps. Anastasia gets real with us about failed projects and how to deal with them, putting yourself out there as a creative, bringing Greek culture to a new audience, and her big goals for the future.
