Our Story

After graduating USC, Elton and Wilson both moved to New York.  Elton worked in finance, Wilson in investment banking. 

During late-night conversations through the pressure wall splitting their dining room into two bedrooms, each roommate contemplated leaving the career path in front of them. 

When looking for information on making that move, Elton and Wilson found a lack of experience-focused resources. 

So they started the Fish Sauce podcast.
