Ep #63: Frichats: The Zen of Having Someone In Your Corner

Introducing Chopped Podcast FriChats! What, you may ask, are FriChats? It’s me and Cara Ansis jamming on topics of interest to people like you, food bloggers, creative entrepreneurs, and more! This week’s topic: Having Someone In Your Corner!

We’re so excited to announce to you today…FriChats! This idea came about when Cara Ansis (see link below) and I were talking recently. We’ve received such positive feedback from the two episodes where Cara was a guest on the show, that we agreed to make it a regular gig.

So, each Friday we’ll be sharing FriChats, all on different themes related to Food Blogs, Creative Entrepreneurs, and more.

I know what you’re thinking.

Marly and Cara are talking about having someone in your corner so you can get out there and be your best you!
