We’re cooking up a storm with the inimitable Jon Gray, CEO and co-founder of Ghetto Gastro. Alongside chefs Pierre Serrao and Lester Walker, Jon founded the food collective with a mission to build "community through cuisine." Hear how Jon channeled his passion for food into a business that has catered dinners for clients like Microsoft, published a bestselling recipe book, and launched a line of dry goods including the delicious Ghetto Gastro Pancake and Waffle Mix. Then, it’s time to phone-a-friend for some advice. Aurora calls Nancy Twine, CEO and founder of the clean hair care company Briogeo to hear her take on how we can all take more risks and find our industry niche.
