Two podcasting worlds collide in the episode. You'll hear how Ann Shafer and Martha Lucius took up podcasting in 2020. Ann is an art historian, art curator and all around lovely human. In the last year Ann created The Curator's Choice which is her musing of purchasing art Baltimore Museum of Art. Ann is also responsible for leading Platemark which explores the state of museums and issues that are unfolding now--pay equity, #metoo, cultural appropriation, and more. 

Ann Shafer interviews Martha Lucius and explores how she became a restaurant owner, and then a restaurant strategist/consultant. They are long time friends, neighbors, fellow cyclists and now, podcasters. You'll learn the context for how Martha got into helping independents. There's a simple bio where  Martha grew up eating food around the world, ran her two cafes for close to twenty years, watched and participated in the rise of independent restaurants, and now helps owners with the difficult parts of ownership. 

Shameless promotion for Becky Redett who started Sassy Cyclist, which is woman's cyclist jersey company.  Very clever design, Baltimore-based and naturally woman made. 

Another shameless promotion for HEXFerments -- kimchi grilled cheese.
