Season 03 Episode 06
July 22, 2026
In this episode, Kristin speaks with certified olive oil sommelier and entrepreneur Donna (she/her) about building a career that didn't always have a clear roadmap.
From food magazines and test kitchens to appliance companies and eventually launching her own artisan olive oil business, Donna reflects on following a lifelong love of food while allowing her career to evolve alongside her life. Together they explore expertise, reinvention, grief, family, and why sometimes the most meaningful careers are the ones we create before anyone else can see the path.
