  • Summary

  • 10: In today's episode, we’re talking to Mike Ashamalla and Shawn Orr, two of the co-founders of Tifa Chocolate and Gelato.

    In the early 2000s, Denise and Mike (mom & dad) and Shawn and Candace (brother & sister) knew they wanted to do something together that involved food. But they had no idea that a gelato experience during a family trip to Italy would inspire more than 17 years of a family-run chain of gelato and chocolate shops in the Conejo Valley and beyond.


    The dynamic between this father & son duo is worth the listen alone. Together they recount the inception of Tifa as a food cart at the Topanga mall to how they've grown the business to include several corporate stores plus a growing franchise business.


    And, importantly, how family is still at the core of everything they do.
