Welcome to the first guest episode of the Sequel to a PhD Podcast!
Dr. Bryan Quoc Le is a food scientist, food industry consultant, and author of the book, 150 Food Science Questions Answered. He earned his PhD in Food Science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and now runs a food science consulting business where he acts as a scientific advisor and consulting food scientist for numerous food companies.
In this conversation we talk about:
- Bryan's fascinating story of combining disparate interests to chart his own unique career track
- How an emerging interest in writing turned into publishing a book (while also writing his dissertation!)
- How that book set the stage for making connections and establishing his food science consulting business
- Using a set-up in his garage to do the food science work/testing for his consulting clients
- His strategy for using cold emails to connect with new clients and grow his business
- Learning to trust your gut in decision-making and staying open to every possibility
