My passion is helping food entrepreneurs, business professionals and kids optimize their results and lives, with a healthy smattering of humor and joy.

My book Good Food, Great Business: How to Take Your Artisan Food Idea from Concept to Marketplace (Chronicle Books) really is helping aspiring food entrepreneurs answer "How do I get my food business started?"

A few of my projects to help people on a broad scale:

• Chocolate Chip Cookie School book and programs for learning critical thinking through cookies
• Invent a New Food Challenge on Skillshare
• FoodStarter blog, newsletter and FoodStarter Academy ecourses
• About.com Food & Beverage Industry channel with business trends, tips and exclusive interviews

And a bit more about me on LinkedIn.
