Now Megan leads a predominantly female team, employs fellow Tri Deltas and fosters a sense of community through her brand. She shares how Mahjong has become a powerful way to connect, create and empower others—especially women.
You’ll hear about her journey from artist to entrepreneur, the challenges of launching a company and why Mahjong is growing in popularity. Megan offers insights on embracing failure, balancing work and life, and spreading Mahjong to a new generation.
