Jaclyn Johnson has been described as the ultimate multi-hyphenate. She’s a podcast host, savvy businessperson, angel investor, and champion of female entrepreneurs everywhere. As the founder of Create And Cultivate, which she sold earlier this year, Jaclyn has helped thousands of small business owners and freelancers on their professional journeys. Earlier this year, she launched New Money Ventures, a $20 million dollar consumer fund that invests in game-changing brands and the visionaries behind them. In October, Jaclyn introduced the world to Maie Wines, a California-based company she cofounded that’s all about elevating the single-serve wine experience. If you’ve ever failed to finish a bottle of wine and felt wasteful and sad dumping it down the drain, Jaclyn had you in mind when developing Maie.

When Candace Nelson and her husband Charles co-founded the Sprinkles cupcake company, their friends and family thought it was a terrible idea. “We were essentially two out-of-work investment bankers looking to bet it all on cupcakes at the height of a low-carb craze,” Candace said to host Kerry Diamond. Not only did Sprinkles become a huge hit, but the couple sold a portion of the business and went on to launch Pizzana, another company built around a much-loved food. Candace, who today is a much sought-after dessert and start-up expert, has compiled the two subjects into a business book titled Sweet Success: A Simple Recipe To Turn Your Passion Into Profit.

Candace joins us to share the challenges faced in getting Sprinkles up and running, the lessons she learned along the way, and some of the wisdom found in Sweet Success.

Dan Levy, the star of Schitt’s Creek, loves chefs and wanted to do something to support the culinary community during the pandemic. His idea was a kinder, gentler cooking competition centered around the meal that he loves, but that most restaurant folks loathe—brunch. The result debuts Thursday, Nov. 10th, on HBO Max and it’s called The Big Brunch. The show features 10 chef-contestants, all trying to do good in the world while making delicious food, and three judges, Dan, chef and video personality Sohla El-Waylly, and hospitality pro Will Guidara. 

Dan joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about how The Big Brunch came to be, casting the judges and chefs, and why brunch is his favorite meal. In the second half, Sohla stops by to talk about her role on the show, her journey to becoming a chef, and her time owning and running a restaurant. She also discusses the new book she guest-edited, the 2022 edition of The Best American Food Writing series.
