Heather Lauer on Bacon

Living Your Passion

BACON! BACON! BACON!

I mean, who doesn't like bacon? Besides folks who don't eat it for religious reasons and those who are vegan/vegetarian - though I bet some vegetarians make an exception for bacon.

In today's episode, #10, I chat with Heather Lauer, about her passion: BACON. I read two magazines cover to cover. Wired (thanks Dad!) and The Costco Connection. Before you laugh about the 2nd one, it's a really good magazine. I mean, really good. Well-written. Interesting.

But anyway ... I learned about Heather - and her passion for bacon - thanks to an article in a recent edition of The Costco Connection.
