​Entrepreneurship in the food & beverage space comes with unique challenges—balancing creativity with business, managing burnout, securing financial stability, and carving out space in a competitive industry. This interactive workshop, led by transformational coach Anna Yukevich, is designed specifically for culinary entrepreneurs (from aspiring, to early-stage or more established) seeking clarity, tangible solutions and meaningful peer support.

​Through guided discussions, collaborative problem-solving, and group coaching exercises, we’ll explore the common roadblocks that culinary professionals face, from imposter syndrome to financial uncertainty. Together, we’ll uncover practical, community-driven solutions to help you move forward with renewed confidence, creativity, and purpose. This is a space to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs who understand the highs and lows of the industry.

​Whether you’re running a pop-up, launching a new concept or cpg product, or refining your business model, this session will provide you with actionable insights, supportive connections, and a clearer path toward sustainable success.
