EP#30 - Chasing Curiosity, Not Just Goals: How Scoopy’s Founders Harnessed a Successful Growth Mindset

Master of Achievement with Stephanie Nguyen

I’m joined by Tesia and Angelo, the co-founders of Scoopy Milk Bar & Scoopy Mart, Melbourne’s favorite bingsu spot and now Age Pan. What makes their entrepreneurial journey truly inspiring is their relentless curiosity and drive for continuous learning. Instead of obsessing over the end goal, they’ve focused on personal growth, learning from failures, and staying adaptable—an approach that’s been pivotal to their success.

They share how embracing curiosity and a growth mindset allowed them to pivot creatively during challenging times, including the pandemic lockdowns, and how this mindset has fueled Scoopy’s success over the last 6 years.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why staying curious can be more powerful than having all the answers
• How focusing on learning leads to unexpected breakthroughs
• Why small wins and team support are essential for building momentum
• The importance of embracing failure as a tool for growth
• How flexibility and adaptability are key to navigating uncertainty

If you’ve ever felt stuck or too focused on the outcome, this episode will inspire you to shift your mindset and embrace the journey. Tesia and Angelo’s story is a testament to how curiosity and continuous learning can lead to extraordinary success.
