Xanthe Ross || The Art of Being A Beginner
In this episode, we look at a topic I believe to be an essential tool in the life of creative entrepreneurship: the art of being a beginner.
Whatever creative industry you work in, however long you have done so, or however masterful you have become at your craft, you should always be embracing something new. To explore this, we have Xanthe Ross. Xanthe is a chef, supper club host, and food writer.

Her food story is one that has joy, togetherness, humility, and resilience woven in. From a rural childhood in a large family pulling carrots from the earth, to London and the fizz and adrenaline of supper clubs, the mastery of social media, and the adventure of writing a book. In all of it, it seems to me that Xanthe has remained true to herself.
She has taken risks and shared her fears. She has been brave and shared her vulnerabilities. It is a lesson in resilience and the reality of what it really takes. I'm very much looking forward to hearing her story, and I hope we will be prompted to keep embracing the value of being a beginner.
“I’m proud that I did just start something, and I genuinely had, you know, this fire inside me and this passion to convey to my friends, where I had got this olive oil and where I was getting these tomatoes.”
