Tastemaker Talk is a weekly podcast for food content creators. Join hosts and business besties Abbey Fish (formerly Rodriguez) & Chandice Probst as they pull the curtain back on what it takes to run a successful food creator business; chat with dynamic guests from the tech, SEO, and food product spheres; and legitimize the creator economy through community (not competition).
Food Creator, It's Time to Stop Holding Yourself Back with Barrett Brooks
At some point, growing your business stops being just about getting more done and starts being about becoming the kind of leader who can support others as they build with you.
In this episode, Barrett and Chandice are getting into the psychology of entrepreneurship, especially what happens when creators make the leap from working solo to managing a growing team. They talk delegation, risk, resilience, and the very real challenge of letting go of the idea that you have to do everything yourself.
Barrett is a very well-loved speaker, mentor, and member of our Tastemaker community, and we think you'll understand why as you listen to this episode. Enjoy!

What If You Create Authentic Content...and No One Cares? with Abbey and Daphne
Speaking very candidly, content creators have to navigate a lot of tension as an inherent part of their career. You're constantly being told that "authentic" content is what performs the best, but then you have to mindfully curate your brand (which is to say...yourself). There is an urge to document your life in order to share what feels real in your day-to-day, but the very act of capturing these moments makes them lose some of their spark. So what's the solution?
Well - we don't know exactly. But if you've ever felt like you're walking the balance-beam between your real life and your social media career—including the joys, fears, and pressures that come along with it—this conversation might resonate with you.

Come to TC 2027 (https://eventmobi.com/website/tc2027) if you want to gather with folks who care about these types of topics and love to have conversations about them--even when the answer isn't straightforward. We'd love to see you in San Antonio!
