S1 EP4: Alexandra Dudley - Food Writer & Presenter. Curating your career around your passion‪.‬ Career Goals Podcast

My guest this week is Alexandra Dudley Food Writer, presenter and ‘serial dinner party host’. Alexandra Dudley has crafted an amazing career around her love and passion for food. Alexandra is the author of the cook book Land & Sea: Secrets to simple, sustainable, sensational food, the host of the podcast ‘Come for Supper’ and all round food goddess sharing delicious recipes and food inspiration to her thousands of followers on Instagram.

At 20 years old Alexandra launched her first company, Punch Foods - a healthy snack start up stocked in major retailers such as Sainsburys and Planet Organic. However, running a business can be challenging and soon Alexandra started to experience burnout and loss of motivation - soon releasing this was not the career path for her.

Continuing with her passion for food, Alexandra made a career pivot into food writing and building her personal brand as a food influencer on instagram. Today, she has successfully curated a career around her passion - writing food columns for publications such as Town & Country, hosting her own podcast ‘Come for Supper’ where she interviews chefs, restaurateurs and creative people about their relationship with food and inspiring others in the kitchen through her amazing Instagram content and cook book!

In this episode, Alexandra and I discuss curating a career for yourself with the help of social media, passion and networking and the importance of not comparing yourself to others.

Thank you so much Alexandra for joining me and I hope you all enjoy this one.
