Story #032 - Marilyn Baligod

54m · Published 15 Feb 04:20

GUEST’S NAME:Marilyn Baligod

CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION:Le Cordon Bleu, Bangkok, Thailand

BIO: Chef Marilyn Baligod is from the northern part of the Philippines, called Pinukpuk, Kalinga, a very small town where civilization was very limited. Sharing the home with her parents and 6 brothers and sisters, Chef Baligod spent most of her time as a child watching her mom cook and bake. By the age of nine, Marilyn was cooking rice for the family over an open flame stove. At that time, she never thought that she would become a chef, instead her dream was to become a nurse and a lawyer which was her dad's dream for her.

However, none of that happened and instead she ended up attending Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in Bangkok, Thailand where she studied culinary arts and trained to be a chef. A successful career followed allowing Chef Baligod to travel the world, opening various restaurants and teaching the art of Asian Cuisine to many. An advocate of life-long learning, Chef Baligod is currently pursuing her certification requirements to work on yachts and cruise ships while waiting for the next part of her culinary career journey.

Story #028 - Stephanie Heller

58m · Published 18 Jan 04:05

GUEST’S NAME:Stephanie Heller

CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION:Le Cordon Bleu, Scottsdale, AZ

BIO:Stephanie Heller was born and raised in New York, however an early mid-life crisis / career change at 30 years old led her to move across the country from New York City to Scottsdale and enroll in Le Cordon Bleu culinary program. She then started an in-home personal chef service called Ripe Personal Chef Services, where she prepared meals and boutique dinner parties for discerning guests. After growing the company to mid-six figures, with 8 chefs and some very high cliental, she relinquished control to start other business ventures.

With a BA in Psychology from Boston University, she has always been obsessed with understanding why people do what they do and what is stopping them from getting what they want. She then used this education and passion as the foundation for her current business as a life coach, where she is an advocate and power partner to her clients.

She teaches brain and thought management tools to her clients so they can accomplish anything. With a 100% return-on-investment, she has a way of zeroing in on people’s excuses and bullshit, and then shows them how they are creating it so they can make a plan together to help create change. She works with both current and future business owners and entrepreneurs to help them make simple decisions and to stop overthinking things so they can experience possibility, add and create revenue, and feel better quickly.

Today she credits becoming a life coach as being instrumental is saving her life, which previously was being yanked around all day by her thoughts and emotions, causing a reaction and rejection of the world because it didn't fit what she thought she deserved.
