This is where it all begins. In this opening episode, I share the scrappy, unfiltered origin story of how Chef Vanda and I went from “Let’s try this and hope we don’t sink” to running a thriving personal chef business. You’ll hear about the early mistakes, the late-night panic moments, and the one realization that changed everything:

👉 “Great cooking gets compliments. Great business gets clients.”

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “good enough,” “ready enough,” or “business-minded enough,” this episode sets the tone for your whole journey.

You’ll also hear why the personal chef industry is exploding right now, what’s possible for you, and what this podcast promises you as your weekly business mentor in your earbuds.
