My Favorite Episodes
When we get new listeners, I often get asked where they should start with our episodes.
At 246 episodes and counting, it's hard to know where to begin after listening to the most current episode.
While I have a few different recommendations that I'll share, the first ones I start with are the ones that are my favorite. No rhyme or reason, except for the explanations I give below.
Without further ado, here are my favorite 3 episodes:
Episode 171

Sarah (Brazier) Rochacewich, Owner of Aunt Sarah's Chocolate shop talks about leaving CPG to open her own shop
I love this episode because 1) I love her chocolate, and 2) she comes from (literally) the same space as I do - and went against the grain to do what she wanted to do. CPG pro moves to Newfoundland opens a chocolate shop in a teenie tiny town and blows up. She now makes ice cream too by the way. :)
EPISODE 240

She's building an alternate dimension for cheese. CEO of Blue Heron Creamery Karen McAthy goes visionary on the knuckleheads
I'll be honest, when Karen starts geeking out on cheese, I get lost in this episode. I'm attracted to her passion for her art, and how she thinks about things differently. Plus, yes you guessed it - I love her cheese.
EPISODE 203

Jeff B Smith retires from running a Fortune 100 company, starts 8 brands and an incubator
How do I leave an article without marveling at how this man doesn't sleep?? His retired life is busier than my working life. Not a day goes by that I'm not looking at his Linkedin and shaking my head.
Remarkable stories, remarkable people. I'll be back with more - so blessed to have these people in my circle of influence.
