Today’s guest is Kirsten Tibballs, founder of Savour; the world’s first online chocolate and patisserie school. You may have seen her as a judge on Masterchef, or know her by her official title The Chocolate Queen.  Kirsten started out 20 years ago by teaching classes to pastry chefs, and since then she’s expanded into a retail store and online school with over 400 tutorials and thousands of subscribers, amassed over 750k followers on Instagram, hosted 3 series of her TV show on SBS, authored multiple books, and worked with brands from Bulla to Bvlgari.  You’ll learn: 

How she expanded her offering over the years, from in-person classes, into retail and online 

Why she hasn’t updated her online school pricing in 10 years 

How she’s able to produce a new online class every single week 

Why she credits being fluid and embracing change as being pivotal to her success 

How she maintains a strong relationship with her husband, who also happens to be her business advisor 

The impact that Masterchef had on her broader business 

Why she’s structured her business so that all personal and talent gigs are separate from the online school
