A Chef's Recipe for Career Progression and Collaboration

No matter how far away we go from L&D, we still find things to inspire us. In this episode, we talked to Ed Leach, Well-Being Specialist and Head Chef at La Cantina @Blinkist, someone whose career journey could be an inspiration to anyone. We explored:

• Ed's squiggly career journey: from engineering to designing, plumbing, and finally cooking;
• The way he has an impact on people's lives, our planet's health, and Blinkist's productivity thank to La Cantina's planet-based concept;
• How he gathers feedback through all his senses to inform what's on the menu every day;
• The similarities he sees between working with renowned Head Chefs and a corporate manager.
