    I have yet another amazing female entrepreneur for you this week. Ellen Marie Bennett is the brains behind Hedley & Bennett, a culinary brand that offers premium quality aprons, kitchen gear, and much more to come (which we talked about!). I enjoyed every second of this conversation with Ellen—we chatted about her Mexican and English heritage, what it’s like to be a bit of an outsider, and dug deep into one of her most exciting activations—her new series with Tastemade and Andrew Zimmern’s production company, focused on kitchen design!!

    Loren Brill Castle is Livvin for Food

    Loren Brill Castle is Livvin for Food

    UPDATE: It’s been a few weeks since the last podcast dropped. I always attempt to and plan to drop an episode weekly, but unfortunately with my deadlines and travels (and me being a one woman show!) it’s not always possible. Season 2 is looking to be a bit more scattered, but that does not mean that I have a shortage of fantastic guests.
    This week I have the wonderful Loren Castle, who is the founder of the Sweet Loren’s, a gluten free and vegan cookie dough company. Loren and I had a pretty inspiring conversation, spanning from why she started the company to where it is headed. And it’s most definitely worth the listen!
