"I've noticed that people have a more inflated self, I guess, more self-inflated in what they need, not in a selfish way, just more communicative, which I think is healthy." "To every single problem, there is a solution." "At the end of the day, I'm an empath. So it helped me really be able to process my personal emotions out immediately presently in the moment." "Imagine the society we would be in if people actually could manage their emotions and separate themselves from what someone else is feeling and what you're feeling." "Steve Jobs already did walking meetings. So I think there's something to it." #privatechefpodcast #privatechefs #chefs #estatemanagement #privateservice #luxuryprivateservice
