Layered

We get into what draws us to baking & John shares what he loves about good cook books. We also talk about the appeal of adventure and following a calling. At some point we completely derail by discussing candy bars in perhaps too much depth.

We talk about the sweet benefits of bakery work and the value in celebrating anniversaries

We fantasize about the perfect work/life balance and reminisce about baking success and mishaps. Then we talk reading and find out what we got out of Paulo Coehlo’s The Alchemist.

We reminisce over years past, try to imagine the perfect three hour work week, and dive deep into the creative process

We discuss alternative options for gluten free baked goods, then reminisce over our time attending Bible college, living together in Seattle, and how much we love the book Meaghan chose

We roll our eyes at gluten free culture, talk about how scrap dough is kind of like hot dogs, and dive deep into the science and application of learning and developing skills

Our world is full of difficult and complicated problems, none that are impossible to solve through thoughtful action. We get into some of these issues around aging and justice, along with applying principles we learn from work to life.

We get nostalgic about Mormon bake sale treats, Matt sheds some light on who I am at work, and we talk about some great books

We bond over loving both kitchen work and performing. We talk about diving into the writing process and the rewards of hard work.

We share our experiences getting baked on edibles, start to unpack some of my anger issues, and geek out about how cool data analytics can be when applied to sports, baking, and other areas of life.
