Join Max Trujillo, host of the North Carolina Food and Beverage Podcast, as he chats with his coworker from PFG, Jillian Whitlow. Jillian, an impressive culinary school graduate, has lived in North Carolina for over two decades but will always be a New Yorker. Her story takes us from her early days of culinary training in Arizona to her current passion for horses and fitness. Having undergone a significant weight loss journey, Jillian has transformed her life through discipline and hard work. She is also the creator of Che Figata, a line of women's chef jackets designed for both fit and function. Balancing a demanding career, family responsibilities, and her side business, Jillian embodies resilience and determination. This episode dives into her entrepreneurial spirit, the challenges of travel volleyball for her kids, and her relentless drive for success. With humor, heartfelt moments, and a glimpse into the world of food sales, this conversation is both inspiring and entertaining.
