Annelies Zijderveld is the author of Steeped: Recipes Infused with Tea, selected by the Los Angeles Times as one of their favorite cookbooks in 2015.

She writes about food, culture, and the arts with work appearing in PASTE, Edible East Bay, The Kitchn, and San Francisco Classical Voice with photography appearing in the Los Angeles Times and other publications.

Today we talk about how a podcast works, whether or not you are ready for one, and how to use a podcast to grow your brand.

As bloggers we always hear that you need to be everywhere. So we write on our blog, post on Facebook and Instagram, share images on Pinterest, and even post videos on YouTube. But one area most bloggers neglect is audio.

But just how do you get started podcasting, there's so many unknowns and it can be really intimidating, but today's guest is going to share her expertise and get us all set up for success.

Today we are going to explore several unusual jobs in food, different approaches to cookbooks, and why sometimes you just need to pick up the phone and call someone.

Working in food is a shared passion for most food bloggers, but this can take many forms outside of just blogging including writing cookbooks, being a chef, working with brands and teaching classes. Today's guest is going talk about some of the jobs she's done and how you might be able to get involved in them as well.

When it comes to growing your blog, you simply need to connect with your audience, solve their problems, and watch the money roll in. Easy, right?

We all know it's not as simple as that. And today's guest is the perfect person to help us actually accomplish our goals.

Today, we talk about how to position your brand to reach your biggest fans, why kindness matters in business, and how to authentically fake it until you make it.

Traffic is the life blood of blogging, and we are in a constant struggle to get more of it. There are so many different ways to approach it though, that it can quickly get confusing. Today's guest is going to help us cut through the noise and find what is truly important.

Not only has she been blogging for more than a decade, she also has a day job where she hires bloggers for big brands. So she lives, eats, and sleeps blogging!

In the past year she has grown the traffic on her site by more than 10x! And, as you know if you were at the International Food Blogger Conference last year, she does a mean stand up routine!

I'm so excited to learn from today's guest...Heather Johnson - better known as The Food Hussy!
