Christie Peters – Skip the Easy Money

14 April 2019

In this podcast episode #19 of Eat Well Travel Better, join us as we speak with Christie Peters , a former model, who left her modeling career to return to her hometown, Saksatoon, in the Canadian prairies, a land of opportunity, a kind of wild west, where innovative and passionate entrepreneurs can do more and innovate more quickly than in a bigger city. Today Christie is the successful Chef/Owner of The Hollows and Primal Pasta restaurants in Saskatoon, Canada. Through her unconventional sourcing and matching of the ingredients found in the harsh climate of the province of Saskatchewan, Christie has been able to achieve a remarkable level of recognition in just a few short years.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Make it nice or make it twice
  • Why slow and steady wins the race
  • Why you should skip the easy money
  • How waste is money
  • Watching the small details can add up to big savings
  • What you can do to avoid paying for advertising
  • What you can do to avoid having to repeat tasks

In this episode number 72 of the Taste of Place podcast, we speak with Audrey Kelly. Audrey is the co-owner and head pizza maker at Audrey Jane’s Pizza Garage in Boulder, Colorado in the USA, which she runs with her brother, Peter. After studying pizza-making under Tony Gemignani, she opened her restaurant, and achieved quick success, with the restaurant having been been featured on the Food Network; the Travel Channel; and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Audrey won first place in the Pizza in Teglia competition in Naples, Italy, and has been featured in the New York Times and NPR. As a mother of twin boys, she balances family life with expanding her business, including plans for a second location. Audrey also grew up in a family of bakers, so she knows a thing or two about making dough!
