Before I landed on life as a writer, I had dreams of becoming a chef, inspired by kitschy yet comforting cooking shows from celebrity chefs like Emeril Lagasse and Ina Garten.
Even though my days aren't filled with barks of "Yes, chef," I find that these types of celebrity chefs — especially some of the original food influencers like Julia Child and Martha Stewart — still provide plenty of business and financial lessons that I can apply to my own life and career.
