Defining Moment: Chef Justin Warner turns the tables on unemployment
In our first episode, host Justin Warner dishes on how he went from being an out-of-work chef to a Food Network star. “I laid there in bed, smelling like old fish and chips... and then the phone rang.” Paid for by Principal
Welcome to our new podcast series, called Defining Moment. These eight episodes will feature people who each faced a major twist in life – and turned it into a transformational experience. Guests will include an elite athlete, a globetrotting photographer and everyday Joes and Josephines who found unexpected new passions.
You know our host as the winner of the eighth season of Food Network Star, but the real fun is in the tale of how he got to audition for the show.
Listen to Justin’s Defining Moment, and tune in for more episodes this month and next.
