1 hr 9 min - Jason’s Journey: Pursuing Music, Acting, And Culinary
For some of us, our passions are not only limited to one thing. However, sometimes when a particular one sticks out, we tend to just focus on it as a career and forget the others. Proving that you don’t have to trade all of your passions for one is Jason Wrobel – chef, musician, actor, and practitioner of yoga, pilates, weight training, meditation, and more. In this episode, Jason shares his rollercoaster path from his childhood up to now. Breaking out of the mechanistic environment of Detroit into the land of opportunity in Los Angeles, Jason set out on a path to pursue his passion for music and acting, and later discovered the world of raw food. After going vegan, he transitioned into being a chef by enrolling in a fully raw vegan culinary school in Northern California called Living Light Culinary and then working for Matthew Kenney. Before long, he grew to be an influential person in the health and wellness space with his own cooking show and a cookbook deal. Just when everything seems to go well as a celebrity chef, Jason started getting burnt out and frustrated. Find out how he bounced back to finding where his creativity is leading him to and learn the lessons he picked up along the way.
