Ep #69: FriChats: Seeds and Switches

Today is Friday so that means it’s time for the Chopped Podcast FriChats! These Friday Chats feature Marly and Cara Ansis jamming on topics of interest to people like you, food bloggers, creative entrepreneurs, and more! This week’s topic: Seeds and Switches. Read on for this soulful discussion about blogging!

Bring on the FriChats! This week Cara and I are talking about Seeds and Switches. This is a play on the RobCast episode where Rob Bell talks about how sometimes we’re looking for the switch, the easy fix, when in reality we should be more about planting the seeds. It’s a more soulful approach to blogging, but so much more satisfying.

Check back with us each Friday to get your FriChat on!

In case you’re curious, here’s how we feel about Fridays.

Oh, and here are some of our favorite quotes from today’s episode:
