In this bonus episode of the WiRL Podcast, we sit down with two women shaping the future of pizza: Laura Meyer, award-winning pizzaiola and owner of Pizzeria da Laura, and Stephanie Swane, publisher at Modernist Cuisine and global pizza advocate.

Together, they’re helping launch Fork to Future’s inaugural Pizza Industry Empowers conference—a first-of-its-kind gathering designed to educate, connect, and uplift underrepresented voices in the pizza world.

We talk about what inspired this event, why inclusivity matters in food and hospitality, and how community and education can spark real change.
