Ep. 09 Emily Kim & Heather Hodge- Cinnamon Rolls & Social Enterprise: A Recipe for Creating Opportunity

Listen Later

Emily Kim and Heather Hodge are co-founders of The Pastry Project, a social enterprise dedicated to making pastry education and jobs more accessible to those that need it. The idea for The Pastry Project sparked while leading the hiring process at Molly Moon’s Ice Cream when they realized it was hard to place individuals in the fast-paced kitchen jobs and there were barriers to entry for many. Tune to hear how these inspiring leaders have channeled their creativity to create real change in the culinary industry, one cinnamon roll at a time!

In this episode we talk about:

  • How standing up for what you believe in can impact another
  • Fighting for fair wages in the culinary industry
  • How our frustrations may be leaving clues (or pastry crumbs) as to where we are meant to make a difference
  • What a social enterprise is and how The Pastry Project utilizes it to fund free programs to individuals with barriers
  • The power of education when it comes to empowering others
  • Benefits and challenges when it comes to co-founding a business and what they believe is the key to cultivating a healthy relationship
