We recently had the chance to connect with Kira Sain and have shared our conversation below.
Kira, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What is a normal day like for you right now?
I go get a coffee the moment I wake up and then read and write in my devotional/journal. Then I work out, eat something and head to Wanna Spoon to work.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I moved originally from Canada to pursue my music. Along the way I had this vision of a cereal bar.. My parents advised me to write a business plan and come up with a name, which became ‘Wanna Spoon’. The stars really aligned for me when I met a couple by the names of Steve and Alane Kovach. They were opening a restaurant on 12th South at the time that was called Emery and they had a space beside it that they didn’t know what to do with. I shared my idea with them and they took a chance on me. We now have been open for a little over 3 years.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
I think my parents. My mom is an artist and has always taught me to follow my dreams and do what I love. She truly taught me to never give up. Then on the other side of art, my dad is a criminal lawyer. My parents are just both hard working people and they both do what they love. Both of their careers never even really felt like jobs since it has always been evident that it is both their passions.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I feel like around this time of year in Nashville, when schools are back in and tourism slows down a bit, Wanna Spoon slows down as well. Sometimes I worry of how I can get people through the door in order to survive. These slow seasons creep up on me and it takes a lot to plan events and come up with different ways to get people to come in.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
Probably my family.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
Working out
