Gail Becker

Gail Becker – Founder & CEO – CAULIPOWER Gail Becker’s story is amazing. Her career has spanned media, politics, and business. She’s held executive roles at Warner Bros., Edelman, and the US Department of Health and Human Services, but her life changed when she leaned into a very personal problem. Her two boys have celiac disease, which means they can't eat gluten, and Gail grew tired of searching for healthier alternatives that were easy to make and tasted great. Knowing she couldn't be alone, she left her corporate job and launched CAULIPOWER in 2017. Today CAULIPOWER is America's number one cauliflower crusted pizza, number one gluten-free pizza, and a top 10 frozen pizza brand in the total market. It's Gail’s personal story of creating something out of nothing that has brought me to this conversation today. Follow To Dine For:Official Website: ToDineForTV.comFacebook: Facebook.com/ToDineForTVInstagram: @ToDineForTVTwitter: @KateSullivanTVEmail: [email protected] Thank You to our Sponsors!American National InsuranceSpiritless - Use promo code TODINEFOR for free shipping Follow Our Guest:Official Site: EatCAULIPOWER.comInstagram: @GailBeckerTwitter: @GailFBecker Hosted on Acast.

Cardinal Blase Cupich

Cardinal Blase Cupich

Cardinal Blase Cupich – Archbishop of Chicago Location: Tavern on Rush in Chicago, IL Cardinal Blase Cupich is originally from Nebraska, one of nine kids in a Croatian family. His story of becoming a priest and dedicating his life to service is a fascinating one. He was chosen by Pope Francis to lead the Archdiocese of Chicago in 2014, and has served in that role since then. In the past year he has faced one of the toughest years of his tenure, with a global pandemic shuttering churches and sending the flock to find Mass on their computer screens. It was an honor to sit down and break bread with the Cardinal. No topic was off the table, and my goal was for listeners to get to know him a little bit better.  Follow To Dine For:Official Website: ToDineForTV.comFacebook: Facebook.com/ToDineForTVInstagram: @ToDineForTVTwitter: @KateSullivanTVEmail: [email protected] Thank You to our Sponsors!American National InsuranceSpiritless - Use promo code TODINEFOR for free shipping Follow Our Guest:Official Website: ArchChicago.orgFacebook: Facebook.com/CardinalBCupichInstagram: @ArchdioceseOfChicagoTwitter: @CardinalBCupich Follow The Restaurant:Official Website: TavernOnRush.comFacebook: Facebook.com/TavernOnRushInstagram: @TavernOnRushTwitter: @TavernOnRush  Hosted on Acast.
