On this episode, Jen sits down with Chef Michael Dileo, the New Jersey culinary rising star whose private chef business exploded after one life-changing event. Michael opens up about going from restaurant burnout and delivering Amazon packages during the pandemic to cooking in the homes of reality stars, athletes, and VIP clients across the tri-state area.

He shares how he built his brand from scratch, the moment his career took off, what really happens behind the scenes at private events, and why in-home dining has become the new luxury. This is an honest, inspiring look at hustle, creativity, and betting on yourself.
