“Never do anything half-assed. Always use your full ass.” - Megan Tong
Megan Tong is the co-founder of a million-dollar business, Kanga Aussie Meat Pies, which is Toronto’s first Australian-style meat pie company. She brought the restaurant to fame, with three locations and has been featured in the Toronto Star, Chatelaine magazine, BlogTO, and on The Social.
Ever since Megan was young, she envisioned becoming financially free. She always wanted to be able to decide what to do with her time, and not be chained to a desk. She achieved that at the age of 31.
She’s passionate about giving back and helping solve world hunger, and co-organizes her local Taking Action Against Hunger, a global humanitarian organization that takes decisive action against the causes and effects of hunger.
After the sale of Kanga, she turned to coaching where she now works with my clients one on one, to have breakthroughs, and finally create the life they've always dreamed of.
