There are endless things that no one talks about when it comes to navigating life after college. Life Snacks is a podcast dedicated to helping you figure out all of life's lessons that we weren’t taught in school. From finances to health, to relationships and careers we’re here to cover it all. Each week, host Lauren Tierney sits down with a new guest to provide bite-sized snacks of knowledge and inspiration that we can take into our post-grad lives.

46. Curious About Crypto? Let's Chat!
Are you crypto-curious?
Maybe you’re intimidated by the fancy web3 lingo, but know it’s something you want to learn more about?

Well, If you are any of those things I dare you to listen to this episode…

45. Life's Too Short To Live For The Weekend. Feat. Therese Merkel
Today we are chattin' with the one and only Tricky Foods (https://www.instagram.com/trickyfoods/?hl=en) (Therese Merkel). Therese left her full-time job in early 2020 to take some time off to travel, spend time with friends, and figure out what was next after exiting the burnout cycle of her corporate job. But as we know, the world had other plans for 2020 which left Therese unemployed amidst a global pandemic with nothing but time to think about what came next for her. Then, the stillness of 2020 Tricky Food's, the business was born. In this conversation we discuss:
How to know if it is time to leave your job
Why there is no pride in staying at a job you hate for a long time
How Therese built a business with no formal culinary experience amidst a global pandemic
Why it is possible for anyone to pursue what they are passionate about
The importance of building a passionate community, especially as a solopreneur
Why Therese refuses to live for the weekends
Therese's belief that there are absolutely no rules for what you can do with your life
How to build the community you crave
Why the fastest way to rise is to bring someone up with you
