We’ve learned a lot over the last 6 years of producing Didn’t I Just Feed You — about ourselves, each other, food and the emotional weight that it carries for so many, entrepreneurship, and (so much) more. But these are the 10 most important things that we learned that we hope you’ll take with you too. We hope you’ll listen and walk away feeling like you can (mostly) stay sane and well fed.
