Marketing, PR/culinary consultant, advisor and all-around Food Guru Judiaann Woo joined Sarah Marshall on this show to help out the aspiring women food startup entrepreneurs of the world. Judiaann has her own podcast show called, Food People are the Best People, so it was very nice of her to do some cross pollinating with Meaningful Marketplace, as Sarah had just been on Judiaann’s show recently. Judiaann is a Portland, Oregon home grown celebrity. Although she has lived other places, after children were born, Portland was where she wanted to be. And having been a food aficionado in the big foodie cities, she is an expert who can rightly claim that Portland is on par with any of them. But it isn’t just Portland that ranks high on the food experience. Judiaann travels around the entire state to take in the differences in geography and food and shares the experience usually through Instagram, since she considers herself a “visual person”. As she says, part of what makes Portland a great food city is all the statewide agriculture that is grown, harvested, picked and caught and can be brought into the city to create the fantastic dishes that receive critical acclaim. And yet, the state is still small enough that when you go to visit the winemakers, cheesemakers, meat smokers and so forth, there’s a good chance you’ll be seeing or even sitting next to the owner. It’s the close, hands on source-to-plate atmosphere she enjoys as a rare, if not unique, experience. At one time, Judiaann worked for the State of Oregon to help promote tourism and that really put her around almost every square mile of it to realize how incredibly diverse the geography, lifestyle and people are. And the quirky, one-off experiences are the best ones and she has shared those with her family to help them have lifetime memories. Especially during these lockdown times, that becomes very important. The pets go along too so not only is it the complete family experience, it’s also a big treat for the other tourists they meet along the way. Judiaann has found a way to share true experiences with her audience so they, too can discover things in their life that makes living more enjoyable, fuller, richer and something more than punching in and punching out.
