Summary
Katie Collier is a renowned chef, entrepreneur and true visionary behind the award-winning Italian concept restaurant known as Katie's Pizza and Pasta Osteria.
At 24 years old, Katie fearlessly embarked on a mission to introduce handcrafted, artisanal Neapolitan pizza to the vibrant city and her hometown of St. Louis. And yet personally, addiction had taken hold of her life, threatening to shatter her dreams and everything she had built. Feeling broken and alone, Katie reached out for help, determined to reclaim her life and reignite the fire within her.
Today, Katie is celebrating more than 12 years of sobriety, three successful Katie’s Pizza and Pasta locations and a booming national frozen pizza delivery service.
Join us as Katie shares her incredible journey to recovery, the pivotal role her family has played in her success and her unwavering commitment to creating moments of joy and connection through her culinary creations and warm hospitality.
My friends, this conversation is reminder of the transformative power of second chances and that no matter how dire the circumstances, the best is yet to come.
