  • Rise Up! #216 - Tim Kastner

    Rise Up! #216 - Tim Kastner
    Dec 4 2024

    Tim Kastner loves bread and he loves the solitude of bread baking. He also loves working at the Bread Lab, a wholesale bread bakery in St. Paul, Minnesota.

    In this episode, Tim shares the origins of the Bread Lab, springing up as part of Patisserie46, a fine pastry shop founded by master patissier John Kraus, and how his passion for baking makes the night shift a feature of the job, rather than a burden.

    There's also talk of Mark's new workshop, the Bakery Leadership Circle, which is opening applications for the Spring 2025 session on December 10!

  • Rise Up! #215 - Chris DiPiazza

    Rise Up! #215 - Chris DiPiazza
    Nov 20 2024

    When Chris DiPiazza needed a break from his IT business, he took a cooking class with a bread baker. That class opened up a portal that changed his life and career. From small beginnings, Chris slowly built up his wholesale business until opening Mighty Bread Co. in a small corner of a larger building in 2017. These days, his bakery is the main player in the building, as Chris and his team go from success to success.

    In this episode, Mark and Chris talk about how Chris' role has changed over the years, how they keep the team's creativity high and cohesion tight, and how he is revelling in connection with his neighbourhood and the robust food community in Philadelphia.

    There is also talk about Mark's new project, the Bakery Leadership Circle, which has a new session starting in the Spring 2025.

  • Rise Up! #214 - Erica Leahy

    Rise Up! #214 - Erica Leahy
    Nov 6 2024

    Erica Leahy was working in an office job when she realized she had missed her calling. So she gave up her stock options and health plan, left the office and set off for the life of a pastry chef. After unpaid internships, several stints baking for fine restaurants, finding her feet in a commissary kitchen and starting a family, she opened Three Daughters Baking Co. in 2018.

    In this episode, Mark and Erica talk about the people in her life that have been cheering her on (and pitching in) throughout Erica's baking career, and how she's put down deep roots over the past 16 years in South Orange.

    There is also talk about Mark's new project, the Bakery Leadership Circle, which has a new session starting in early 2025.
