Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

Actor, comedian, film director and scriptwriter Mugambi Nthiga continues where he left off - after his return to Kenya in the late 2000s, when he walked into what he calls "the most toxic work environment I have ever been in," in the advertising industry. As that was happening, his romantic relationship was also dying, and he was starting to feel the pressure - until his friends who had formed a musical group called 'Just A Band' approached him to play a part in the video for their song 'Ha-He'. The video ended up going viral all over the world, with a character called 'Makmende' who they created. However, while the video was becoming a global phenomenon, it didn't quite fill the financial and career expectations that Mugambi had had. And thus started his journey living with mental health issues. In this often hilarious interview, Mugambi provides important background and context to Kenya's entertainment industry, including his experiences working on some of Kenya's biggest movie projects, and how one of them triggered yet another episode of clinical depression.

Violette Nduku Wambua: Entrepreneur Fatigue Nearly Killed My Business 55:24

When Violette Nduku Wambua first came up with the idea for Networking In Heels over a decade ago, it was a ground-breaking idea. Kenya had never before seen a forum for women to get together to support each other in business and in life. So good was her idea that the sponsorship and media support and attention that came her way was literally unprecedented... until entrepreneur fatigue hit her. That, combined with struggles of new motherhood, caused her to make the one mistake many entrepreneurs with great ideas make: Abandon the idea and go back into the job market. After a decade of pondering how to restart Networking In Heels, she finally hit the jackpot. Almost immediately after she had regained her momentum, Covid happened, causing her to pause her business for two more years. Today, Networking In Heels is back and bigger than ever! How did she do it? Find out in this latest episode of The Failure Effect. Happy Women's Month! 👉 *Interview recorded before March 8, 2024*…
