Failure is the First Attempt in Learning: Courtney Rich of Cake by Courtney
Manage episode 304408993 series 2420173
When Courtney Rich was leafing through Bon Appétit magazine, looking for a cake to make for her son’s first birthday, she didn’t realize that an afternoon spent in the kitchen would open the door to a whole new world. That first cake may not have been perfect, but the excitement that Courtney felt at trying something new, and the subsequent experimentation, led to praise from friends and family that eventually inspired her to leave her job in media and build a business around her newfound joy of baking.
Dealing with waves of anxiety and depression throughout the years, Courtney found that the peace and creativity she felt when exploring new ideas in the kitchen helped to calm some of those feelings. In addition to supporting her state of mind, Courtney’s passion for creating recipes has fueled not only the Cake by Courtney blog, but also a YouTube channel, podcast, classes, product line and soon-to-be published cookbook.
