    “Revel” Author Mariana Velásquez On Hosting, Heartbreak & Rewriting Her Story

    For our final episode of “The New Home,” our miniseries in partnership with Fisher & Paykel, we’re spotlighting Mariana Velásquez. A celebrated food stylist and author of the new book “Revel: A Maximalist Guide to Having People Over,” Mariana is known for her lush, layered aesthetic and her belief that food is meant to be experienced as a full table, not just individual dishes. She joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the inspiration behind “Revel,” from her approach to menus and entertaining to the creative process of bringing her book to life with celebrated photographers Gentl & Hyers. They also discuss how she became one of the industry’s most sought-after food stylists, the realities of cooking and hosting in a small New York City kitchen, and the deeply personal story behind the book. When Mariana’s marriage ended, she had to rewrite “Revel” days before the deadline, and she went on to learn about resilience, reinvention, and the power of gathering with intention. At the end of the episode, we share Mariana’s moving solo talk from the recent Cherry Bombe Jubilee NYC.

    Losophē’s Aisha Tyler On Margaritamaxxing, Hollywood & The Entrepreneur Life

    Today’s guest is Aisha Tyler—actor, director, comedian, podcast host, and now beverage entrepreneur. You might know Aisha from “Criminal Minds: Evolution” or “Friends,” but these days she’s also the founder of losophē, a line of organic, ready-to-drink cocktails designed to bring the bar experience home. Aisha joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her wildly multi-hyphenate career and why she’s always chasing the next challenge. She shares how her love of hospitality—and frustration with lackluster drinks at home—led her to launch losophē with business partner James King, why she bootstrapped the business herself, and what it’s really like to be a hands-on founder in a crowded cocktail category. They also dive into Aisha’s creative life beyond food and drink, what she’s learned as an entrepreneur, why kindness and resilience are essential in business, and how she balances it all while staying deeply curious.  Thank you on/Sight and Coyuchi for supporting our show.
