Episode 35 - Lauren Owens | Tiny Onion Chef Services
In this episode, Lauren Owens, founder and owner of Tiny Onion Chef Services, brings the restaurant experience into your home. When Lauren was 14 she was mixing tuna, slicing pickles and washing dishes. Today, she is a successful in-home personal chef, working for herself by going into homes, teaching cooking classes and preparing delicious, healthy meals.
It was long hours, hard work and no longer wanting to work for someone else that drove Lauren to go off on her own. Listen in on this episode as Brian and Lauren discuss why lifestyle and happiness is most important, not the money.
