Many of you know the story between Kim and I. We started our podcasts at the same time. I was able to reach out to her when I saw her posting on a super secret podcast facebook group. I reached out, because My Food Job Rocks was also in its infancy.
We decided to do a podcast swap. I would interview Kim, and she would interview me. I launched episode 12 starring Kim, and now we’re here, on episode 156. Time flies, doesn’t it?
But still, we persisted. Kim and my guests overlap a bit. We’ve had interviews with people such as Phil Saneski, Jessica Goldstein, Alan Reed, Rachel Zemser, and plenty more probably. However, Peas on Moss does a much better job on the culinary end of the equation. Since Kim lives the Research Chef life, she does a very good job interviewing high profile culinary geniuses in the industry.
Kim was one of the people who helped me in a dark time early on in the podcast realm, I think it was in episode 20’s range, I was dropped from my host provider and was debating on dropping My Food Job Rocks. She encouraged me to stay, and also mentioned that “people don’t listen to you until you’re 30”. At the time, I was 25, and that quote motivated me to keep on going, that I needed to prove myself.
Over time, Kim and I have become kindred spirits when it comes to the food industry. We connect with other people, we talk about the struggles of being ambitious and being valuable in product development. In fact, one of the most underrated episodes I did with Kim was just a one-hour break room session where I just rant about ambition. It’s a bonus episode, and it’s on the show notes.
I don’t listen to my own podcast episodes after I publish them, but I always enjoy that one.
Anyways, Kim is probably one of the hardest workers I’ve known. Her role at Bulletproof means she’s always traveling, making new products and I’m always impressed seeing her churn out episodes.
So enjoy this episode, as Kim talks to her mentor, Graham Kerr. If you like this episode, you can find so much more at Peas On Moss.com
