TRIPLE F – Fashion, Fitness, and of course Food

A podcast about my adventures in Fashion, Fitness, and Food.

Welcome to the Triple F Podcast, where we’re focused on Fashion, Fitness and of course Food. This podcast is all about bringing these three parts of your life together to help you get the most out of your passions. We’re here to help you look your best, feel great and also indulge in some and some maybe not so hidden temptations. We are by no means experts in any of these fields but we do hope to bring people to the show who know what they are talking about and can help you with some of these aspects of your life. You only live life once, so why not live a life worth living?

Episode 50!!!! In this interview, we actually take a different direction and do a reverse interview. I am interviewed by Yixian Cindy Liu to chat about my adventures so far on the Triple F Podcast. She is launching her very own podcast – Yinteresting. It focuses on her adventure as an international student and then getting a job in the U.S. She is the perfect person to sit down, dig deep into my past, and pull out some incredible content for this episode. So enjoy listening to my recollections of trials and tribulations of launching my first 50 episodes on the Triple F Podcast.

Life Skills Educators is a new model of learning that simplifies and accelerates the learning of the basic skills for healthy living and incorporates solving real world problem using these skills in a fun, purpose driven way. We strive to empower students to make decisions that will enable them to become independent, healthy adults.

Cheryl Cerpuran left her career as a corporate marketing executive to start CORE4 Skills, Inc.

Cheryl developed CORE4 to fill that gap by creating a program that teaches kids the basic life skills they require, in a practical and fun environment.

When Rachael started this persuit of Three Times Per Day , She thought the most interesting thing she could write about — and explore the world through — was food. However, much like our current presidential candidates, she’s changed my mind since then.

It’s been just about a year since she first started Three Times Per Day. Since then, she’s developed new passions and interests, grown in her career, returned to school, gotten involved with an amazing non-profit, began writing for Fitt Chicago, and have all the while continued to assess the evolving meaning of health and balance. In short, she feels as though limiting Three Times Per Day to food would mean she was not writing about that which is most important to her or most interesting to you.

She realized one’s spends their day basically three ways: working, playing, and recharging. The new and improved Three Times Per Day is all about navigating the balance between doing these things. Food will obviously still be a focal point, since it’s her ultimate recharge activity. But she (and special guest writers!) will also be posting about exercise, the fun things to do (around Chicago, definitely, and the world, maybe??), and self-exploration. Because she’s a female young professional and am examining the world through this lens, the topics covered will primarily cater to that audience. But balance is not reserved for women and yuppies! It’s something people from all walks of life strive to achieve, so  she hopes everyone who stumbles upon this finds something for them.

Sconnie Nation is dedicated to celebrating the Wisconsin lifestyle!

Sconnie Nation prides itself on in-house, unique, masterpieces that cannot be found anywhere else. The Sconnie tradition began way back in 1848 when Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union and continues today. We started the company during the spring of 2004 in our freshmen dorm room out in Turner Kronshage with the goal of spreading Sconnie pride across the country. Today, Sconnie Nation is still based in Madison, Wisconsin.

The idea behind Sconnie Nation is simple. Anyone from Wisconsin, who attends school in Wisconsin, or just loves the dairy state in general can identify with Sconnie. Sconnie is anything of or relating to Wisconsin. Sconnie is an identity. It can be used as a noun (“I am a Sconnie”) or an adjective (“Look at that Sconnie truck”). You don’t have to be from Wisconsin to appreciate the Sconnie movement. It’s all about embracing and celebrating this genuinely Wisconsinesque environment we call home. Sconnie is tailgating, bowling, bubblers, washing cheese curds down with a beer, having a tractor-shaped mailbox, or eating a cream puff. If you like eating a brat and cheering for the Pack, you know what we’re talking about.

Our Love for Barbecue was born somewhere between our first bites of a hamburger and being handed the grill tongs for the first time.  For us that passion flourished when we were first exposed to real old fashioned wood fired barbecue. It was simple, and so delicious, and yet unlike anything we had tried before.  We were immediately hooked and our fascination quickly turned into a serious obsession. Since then, we’ve spent nearly ten years traveling the country in search of the best barbecue, and developing our recipes

Jenny Hochschild started working in restaurants in college where she studied art and graphic design. She still work as an artist but a restaurant job is great for me because I have a well rounded background in food service and I like the flexibility of hours. And it’s fun! She’s had many jobs since college in the restaurant industry. After school she tried commercial art for a while and didn’t care for it so she got a job at a fabulous place called The Main Street Bistro in Racine. That’s where she really learned how to cook and appreciate the finer art of food. She moved to Milwaukee about 20 years ago and worked at a few different places, Mimmas, Eagans on Water and The Waterfront deli. She’s been at Hudson for 2 years and feel it’s one of the best jobs she’s ever had.
