How to implement a "yes and..." mindset, the importance of trying new things, and traveling to eat with Phil Rosenthal.

-----

Welcome to episode 144 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork talks with Phil Rosenthal about building his career and his new Netflix-original show, "Somebody Feed Phil."

Netflix, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Somebody Feel Phil

This is a bit of an unconventional interview for the Food Blogger Pro Podcast, but if you're a food fan, we think you're really going to enjoy it.

You may have heard of Phil Rosenthal. He's the creator and executive producer of "Everybody Loves Raymond," an actor, an author, and most recently, the star of the Netflix-original food and travel documentary, "Somebody Feed Phil."

Phil is a die-hard food lover, and he shares that love as he travels across the globe and makes connections with locals. Building his career wasn't always easy, but his "yes and…" attitude, fearless personality, and "never give up" outlook are all principles that you can apply to running your own blog and business.

In this episode, Phil shares:

• Why Skype is an important part of his show
• Why having a niche is important
• How to not be afraid of trying new things
• What an egg cream is (let us know if you'd try it in the comments!)
• How to implement a "yes and…" mindset
