As owner of the vegan restaurant chain Slutty Vegan — and a former television producer — Pinky Cole knows the value of getting attention when you want to grow a business.
Her authenticity and genuine connection with her audiences through media and in-person have also been instrumental to Slutty Vegan's success.

"People can feel the genuineness.
And as a result of that level of being genuine that has given me a lot of success in my career," Pinky Cole said.
From Maury Show producer to founder of one of the most buzzed about new restaurant chains around, she has paved her own path and triumphed through adversity.

I know how to connect people.
I know how to meet people where they are," she reflected during a conversation with Shawn Walchef, host of the Restaurant Influencers series.
