Science City Union Station

She shares business insights perfect for a #girlboss like myself. I’ve been listening to it on early morning walks…

Explore: Chef’s Table
I have this rule that if I’ve heard of the same thing several times from people who are unrelated I have to try it immediately. Because, it’s always good. Netflix’s series, Chef’s Table, is a great example of this. We are two episodes in, and I am hooked. Seeing a passion for mastery and insatiable…
