Podcast appearances and mentions of april tam smith

Philanthropist and restaurateur April Tam Smith joins Grace on the Giving Done Right podcast to discuss her unique approach to giving, balancing philanthropic pursuits with a career in finance, and finding both purpose and friendship – as well as retaining humility – as a donor. April and her husband have taken a radically generous approach to giving; in specific chapters of their lives, they've done a “reverse tithe,” contributing up to 90 percent of their income to charitable causes. She discusses her philanthropic journey as well as running a nonprofit vegan restaurant in the heart of Times Square in New York City.

…not everyone can afford to donate a certain percentage of their money, not everyone can afford to volunteer their time because they're working so much. If you can, this is your generosity to the world, this is your generosity to all the people that cannot. And I think that's kind of our duty and our privilege. What is the max generosity that you can live with, with your food choices, with your time, with your money choices.  - April Tam Smith April Tam Smith is the co-founder of PS Kitchen, a plant-based restaurant in the Theater District in New York City that gives away all of its profits and hires people in need of a second chance. By day, April is a managing director at a large New York City investment firm. While spending her days on Wall Street and nights at the restaurant, she still somehow finds an amazing amount of time to give to and serve in other communities throughout New York City, as well as around the world. April and I sat down at PS Kitchen to talk about what it means to give, to be radically generous, to live a life of service, and the insane amounts of energy that she has - not only to do all of the above, but to do it with grace, joy, and a boundless love of life. April is an inspiration. After hearing her story I couldn’t help but rethink about what it means to be a human walking around on this planet and how we all can be doing it a little bit better.

In this episode, we hear from April Tam Smith, Wall Street executive, entrepreneur, and co-founder of PS Kitchen, a vegan restaurant in downtown New York which donates 100% of its profits to charity. April maintains a career in finance, whilst funding a social enterprise in Haiti, building schools in the Congo, and helping provide opportunities to ex-convicts in New York.

In this episode I interview April Tam Smith, co-owner of PS Kitchen, a vegan restaurant in New York that gives away 100% of its profits. April's ‘day job' is managing director of an equity sales and trading team at a large investment bank where she's worked for the past 13 years. Most evenings, however, she can be found at PS Kitchen. It's a balance she's happy to strike as she's driven by a passion to help people. Having spent time volunteering in South Africa and Haiti, April, who moved to the US from Hong Kong when she was 11, discovered the joy of giving and was keen to make a difference in her own neighborhood. She and her business partners teamed up with experienced restaurateurs Craig Cochran and Jeffrey LaPadula, owners of the Terri plant-based restaurant chain, to launch PS Kitchen, which opened its doors in August 2017. Located in the heart of New York's theater district in Times Square, the restaurant is unique in not only giving away 100% of its profits to charity, but also in providing employment for people who have experienced challenges such as homelessness or incarceration and are in need of a fresh start. A third of employees come from the restaurant's charity partners that include the Bowery Mission and anti-sex-trafficking organization Restore. In this interview April talks about: • How her day job allows her to fund PS Kitchen • The benefits of running a social enterprise business • The importance of collaborating with the right people and organizations • The challenges of opening a restaurant of this kind (and how one of them is also a bonus in regards to the business's purpose) • Why she chose the location for the business – and signed a 15-year lease on it • How the story behind the restaurant has been key to its early success • And much more Visit the PS Kitchen website Brands mentioned in vegan business news roundup: Tesco Wicked Healthy Dollop Gourmet Up Beet Market RESOURCES: My Online PR Course for Vegan Business Owners & Entrepreneurs: Vegans in the Limelight My book Vegan Ventures: Start and Grow an Ethical Business Follow Vegan Business Media on: Facebook   Twitter  Instagram  Connect with me personally at: Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn
