Chef Walter Staib is a great example of pursuing your passions — in believing that when you dream big and boldly, success will follow. Staib was working in the upper management at a top hospitality company, on the fast track, when he decided to leave it all behind and start his own company and, of all things, a colonial restaurant.

Today, he’s a James Beard-nominated chef, an author, a world-renowned culinary historian and the Emmy Award-winning TV host of “A Taste of History.” The first step into the future, though, started with a look into the past! Staib joins Growing Bolder for a passionate and inspiring conversation about foods of the founding fathers, business triumphs and tribulations and his message for anyone else thinking of taking a career risk and following their dreams.
