Beyond The Lab Coats: A Journey Through Flavor, Formulas, and Life by José and Yelena Barbosa

A memoir of two scientists who learn to navigate corporate America, parenthood, and purpose, one formula at a time. Along the way, they explore ambition, burnout, layoffs, immigration, family, and the long road to building a life that feels like their own. 


Written with humor and heart, it is a great read for anyone interested in product development, leadership skills, career progression, entrepreneurship, work/life balance, purpose-driven careers, and navigating it all at once, or if you simply love a good memoir!
