In the Trenches with special guest Carla Hall

Chef, author, TV host, multi-hyphenate, optimist

What comes easy, what comes hard, what’s par for the course in a creative, optionality-driven life?

You may know Carla Hall from Top Chef, or from The Chew, or from her cookbooks, or her children’s book, or from her new show on Max, Chasing Flavor, but you probably know Carla.

We wanted to get to know her even better in this conversation…her origin story, her mindset, how she learned to turn challenges into gifts, and how she manages to protect her own heart when very famously infusing everything she does with love.

We’ve got a robust preview ~10 minute clip for all members that we hope you will enjoy, and here are just a few of the other areas Carla covers with Jory and Elisa in the full 50 minute conversation:

  • How Carla and Elisa have led strangely parallel lives!

  • Why Carla grew up considering someone calling her “weird” a compliment

  • Why she has been more afraid of success than failure

  • What it’s like getting your “big break” at age 44

  • Why it took her three years to feel she had “settled in” as The Chew co-host
