Hi, Boys and girls are all fired up.

Hi everyone, you're listening to Radio Cherrybaum, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond,

coming to you from newsstand studios at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb Magazine,

and each week I talk to the most interesting women and culinary creatives in and around the world of food.

For today's episode, we're sharing my interview with Joanna Gaines from this year's

Cherrybaum Jubilee Conference held this past April in Manhattan.

Joanna is the co-founder of Magnolia, which I'm sure most of you know, includes a TV network,

books and cookbooks, a magazine, restaurants, shops, and even a hotel.

Joanna is one of the most incredible entrepreneurs in America today. She went from working for 10 years in her father's

tire shop after college to becoming one of the most influential women in design, media, and food.

Joanna was our Jubilee keynote speaker and joined me fresh off a big family trip in Seoul

Korea, where her mother is from. She and I talked about her journey as an entrepreneur and a leader,

why her internship at CBS in New York didn't quite work out, her advice for young adults regarding

college, her answer might surprise you, what's left on her bucket list, and why it's important to have a vision of what you're working toward. I loved meeting and talking to Joanna. She is warm and engaging, and I hope you enjoy our chat. Right before I interviewed Joanna at Jubilee, I had moderated a panel of Magnolia Network Food Stars. Joanna refers to the panel, so in case you're wondering what she's talking about,

there you go.

In case you're not familiar with our Jubilee Conference,

it's the largest gathering of women and culinary creatives

in the food and beverage space in the whole U.S.

It's a day filled with great food, drink, and networking.

Our 2024 Jubilee is taking place Saturday, April 20th,

at Center 415 in Manhattan. Early beer tickets are on sale right now at Cherrybom.com,
