Season 2 is here, and we’re sitting down with chef, entrepreneur, and hospitality expert Rachel Snyder to talk about food, community, entrepreneurship, and the art of making people feel at home.

Five years ago, Rachel left her PR career to become a full-time chef and event planner. Since then, she’s cooked for celebrity judges on Chopped, hosted unforgettable gatherings, and built Rachel Snyder Hospitality. We talk about creating a culture of hospitality, building a business rooted in generosity, and what she’s learned as a leader and entrepreneur.

Rachel also shares the heart behind her Substack Anyone Can Host, her go-to meals for hosting, and advice for anyone looking build deeper community.
