Recipe for success!

We opened a home-based cookie bakeshop about a year ago. Our recipes are solid and people love our sweets! I’ve been struggling with taking the next step. I recently started listening to Chef Schonberg’s podcast and instantly became addicted. Pretty sure I’ve listened to 75% of them in a couple of weeks. Not only has this podcast inspired me to do a few new things with our business, but beef up the marketing and social media as well. I’m just about to sign up for a phone call with her to get even more tasty info on how to grow our business. Thanks chef!

currrrrray ,

How cute is she?

I rarely write reviews for podcasts- I know I should do better. I felt compelled to share my review for this one because she shares such great strategy and business tips that are attainable for just about every baker. She’s to the point without a lot of fluffy filler chatter and she organizes her information in a smart way that makes it easy to understand and take with you after you listen. Her cute personality shines through with every word!

Love listening to her straightforward advice with a touch of humor! Lots of great mindset advice as well as practical tips.
