03/09/21 • 41 min

What’s your culinary superpower? What if you could turn that into a profitable business?

Our guest today, Stephanie Dreyer, is a plant-based meal planning expert who did exactly that. Stephanie knows how to get dinner on the table for her family every night, thanks to her self-taught systems and tools. When she saw that others around her were desperately trying to simplify daily cooking, she went all in to help them make it happen through her membership, Batch Cooking Club.

In this episode, Stephanie walks us through her journey becoming vegan and creating a membership that fully aligns with her talents, passion and values. If you’re interested in creating a membership of your own, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

Stephanie’s journey is filled with twists and turns that remind us that entrepreneurship is anything but linear. I hope this interview gives you clarity as you to dive into your passions along with the courage to pursue your dreams relentlessly.

Demystifying Wine and Breaking Stereotypes Along the Way with Cristie Norman

Imagine you're at one of the most upscale restaurants in Beverly Hills. You want to order a glass of wine and the sommelier walks over. Who do you picture showing up to your table?

You’re probably not picturing a 26-year old Asian woman recommending the best wine to pair with your meal. Unfortunately, the world of wine still has a long way to go when it comes to sommelier diversity.
That’s exactly the reality that today's guest has found herself in throughout her incredible journey of becoming a force to be reckoned with in the wine industry.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing Cristie Norman, a Certified Sommelier and Wine Enthusiast's 2020 Educator of the Year. She started her professional wine journey at the young age of 19 (yes, you read that right!) and is all about shattering glass ceilings in the traditional wine world.
Even more impressive is how Cristie has created opportunities for herself and others during the pandemic. Her innovative thinking and can-do attitude has served her peers greatly during these dire times.

Cristie’s story is a stellar example of how you can use your passion to bring a community together. I truly hope her story will inspire you to see the opportunities in front of you and create something of your own. You just might be able to help others like you along the way.
