Welcome to season two of Chef Life Radio.

We're going to be doing two shows a month for the next five months. And then we'll be spending the rest of the year recording interviews for your season three. I'm your host, Adam Lamb. And this is chef life radio, a monthly podcast dedicated to you - the culinary professional. We are focused on facilitating change in our current culinary career culture and giving you the tools to ensure your success in the kitchen and at home.

We at Chef Life Radio, believe that working in a kitchen should be demanding. It shouldn't have to be demeaning. It should be hard, just doesn't have to be harsh.

We believe that it's possible to have more solidarity and less, suck-it-up-sunshine, more compassion, and less cutthroat Island.

We believe in more partnership and less put up or shut up; more family and less fuck you.

Let me tell you why you should listen to this podcast and why you should, let me be your guide. I started my 30-year career in the dish pit and worked my way up to executive and even corporate chef.

And along the way, I have coached and mentored hundreds of culinarians who went on to be successful chefs in their own right.

Now that might be nice for a press clipping, but the real reason you should subscribe to this podcast is that during my career, I've had some pretty high highs, as well as some crushing lows.

I have made every mistake in my career and found ways to pick myself up again, take responsibility for my fuck ups and learned the hard way, so you don't have to.

No matter how you define success in your culinary career, I want to help support that. That's why you should listen to Chef Life Radio.
