Podcast Episode Synopsis: Cookies with Tiffany
In this episode of the Spark Your Power podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tiffany Lewis, the Chief Cookie Officer of Cookies with Tiffany. Tiffany shares her inspiring journey of leaving her corporate marketing job to pursue her passion for baking and starting her own cookie business.
Tiffany's love for cookies started when she moved to Columbus, Ohio and began baking cookies to bring to work. She realized the power of food in bringing people together and creating a sense of community. This experience sparked her desire to pursue a career in the culinary industry.
After attending culinary school and working in the entertainment industry for celebrity chefs, Tiffany decided to start her own cookie business, Cookies with Tiffany.
