A Certain Age

Ex-Banker Rowena Scherer Cooks Up a Second Act as a Cookbook Author + Culinary Entrepreneur


Listen Later

Investment banker Rowena Scherer woke up one day and asked herself—do I really want to be a banker for the rest of my life? What came next was a foray into culinary entrepreneurship, a line of award-winning cooking kits for kids, and eventually a kids’ cookbook, “A Taste of the World: Celebrating Global Flavors.” On today’s show, Rowena shares how she went from being the first in her family to graduate from college to Wall Street banker to training as a chef at the prestigious French Culinary Institute and the launch of a line of kids’ products that Time Magazine dubbed the toy of the year in 2022. We get into it all–career reinvention, unlikely, improbably pivots, and why age, experience, and fresh perspectives can superpower new acts.
