#375: Half Baked Harvest’s Masterful Fusion of Style + Food: From Unexpected Beginnings To Cultivating A 5 Million Strong Community w. Tieghan Gerard

Tieghan Gerard, the creative force behind Half Baked Harvest, didn't grow up imagining she would have a career in the world of food. Believe it or not, if she could, cooking is the one thing she would get out of doing! Tieghan explains how it has never been about the food, but instead an act of love. She shares how she envisions each dish with a specific person in mind, starting from making lunch for her mom and dinners for her family as a young teen. Tieghan gives insight on how she started Half Baked Harvest 11 years ago with zero expectations, never looking back, and steadily grew her community to over 5 million. Rooted in hard work, compassion, family, and authenticity, Tieghan highlights the power of diving in headfirst and consistently showing up for your community, and yourself.
