Opening Soon
This season of The Build is a special season of Opening Soon, following chef and entrepreneur Rasheeda Purdie as she sets out to open the next evolution of her celebrated restaurant, Ramen by Ra. From finding the right space to navigating construction, payroll, and the pressures of building a business, The Build takes listeners behind the scenes of what it really takes to open a restaurant today: the highs, the heartbreaks, and everything in between. Hosted by Alex McCrery and Jenny Goodman, co-founders of hospitality workwear brand TILIT NYC, this season captures the real-time journey of a chef turning vision into brick and mortar. The Build: Ramen by Ra is produced in partnership with Heritage Radio Network and Square, whose tools help small business owners like Rasheeda manage payments, payroll, and growth every step of the way.
