    Sep 26 2024

    “Bringing happiness and joy to others through food is something I didn’t realize I’d like, but it’s massive!”

    Meet Marc, a retired police sergeant who's found a new passion by launching a fast-growing YouTube channel focused on cooking, despite having no formal culinary training.

    In this week’s episode, you’ll hear how Marc's curiosity about food, sparked by his wife's cooking, led him to take on increasingly complex culinary challenges. From mastering sourdough to a less successful attempt baking croissants, Marc's journey is filled with both triumphs and comical kitchen mishaps.

    Your host, Sarah, and Marc explore how this new cooking hobby has brought joy not only to Marc but to his family and followers as well. Marc sheds light on the unexpected challenges of YouTube content creation, the thrill of going viral, and the satisfaction of bringing people together through food and cooking.

    This episode is a testament to the power of trying new things in midlife, embracing the learning process, and finding fulfillment in unexpected places. Whether you're a foodie, an aspiring content creator, or simply looking for inspiration to shake up your routine, Marc's story will leave you hungry for your own new adventure.
