She’s also one of the people responsible for Chobani’s trailblazing digital success.

I met Emily through being invited to a food conference she co-founded, Bitten. Last year Emily wrote a powerful piece that invites you to look at dining alone as a reason for celebration – that’s when I knew I wanted to have her on the podcast.
