Pub Date is a podcast dedicated to the love of books, and the authors who bring them into the world! In today’s episode, Copper CEO & founder, Allison Trowbridge, sits down with bestselling author, entrepreneur, investor, chef, TV series judge, and producer– Candace Nelson! Candace’s new book, ‘Sweet Success: A Simple Recipe to Turn Your Passion Into Profit’ just launched into the world and it’s not only going to help you turn your dreams into reality, but also, generate financial success in the process!

If you can’t tell from that bio line, Candace is a wildly successful, creative professional and multi-hyphenate, so just trust us– you’re going to learn a lot from this episode. Candace and Allie dive into Candace’s roller coaster ride of a career, including a call from Oprah and the amazing story of how Sprinkles (you know the cupcakes!) survived and thrived, against all odds. Candace also discusses how one can pivot professionally to follow passion, and some powerful ways to overcome imposter syndrome. Sweet Success is a practical guide that is full of everything you need to take the big leap into entrepreneurship! Candace even gets into why now, in the midst of a potential recession, might just be the best time to start your own business.

Today’s episode is for you if you’re ready to pursue your passion and actually make some money doing it. Candace shares several practice tips, lots of encouragement, and some surprising stories that will fire you up. We can all use some words of wisdom and positive ‘peer pressure’ to call up our own courage to take the next step… and you’re going to get all of that and more in this conversation!
