18. Shutting Down a Catering Business and Vulnerability as a Dad with Chef Kibby

#18: Chef Kibby talks to us about shutting down his catering business due to the pandemic. He tells us the struggles both emotionally and financially and how he inevitably pivoted his career to sharing his expertise online.
