My guest today is Tia Herrod, a fellow graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design. Tia received her Bachelor of Arts in Drama and Theatre Arts with a minor in Film and Television. Since graduation, Tia worked on many blockbuster films, such as Hidden Figures, Selma, and Keeping Up with the Joneses. In 2018, Tia pivoted into the culinary world to pursue her love of cooking, and found herself working within many kitchens including Atlanta's Michelin-star restaurant Lazy Betty, and the 3-Michelin star restaurant The French Laundry. Now Tia is working at the world renowned Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley.

Throughout this conversation, we discuss what it takes to work your way to the top, while maintaining excellence, and a supportive partnership.
