Vanessa Torrivilla never envisioned a future in the food world. A UI/UX design pro, she started dating a serious foodie named Joe Ariel who missed some of his favorite local eats from his college days, and soon the idea for Goldbelly started to materialize: “I went from wanting to help my boyfriend with some free design to caring about this from a very deep place,” she says. “This” is now a powerhouse food marketplace with almost 1,000 brands represented on its platform, and Vanessa is co-founder + chief product and creative officer. She joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the company’s start-up days, how they’ve raised more than $133 million in funding from folks including Danny Meyer, and why culinary superstars like Ina Garten, Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, and Mashama Bailey have joined the Goldbelly family. Vanessa also shares her professional pivots, why she studied engineering in college, how her creative awakening came about, and why her mother’s advice about joy still resonates with her today.

“You gotta believe there’s a little magic sometimes,” says Liza Cólon-Zayas, who plays Tina on the hit series “The Bear.” A native of the Bronx, Liza wanted to act from a young age and was encouraged by her family. After studying at SUNY Albany, she worked in theater and appeared in everything from “Law & Order” to “Sex and the City,” but a major recurring role eluded her. Liza estimates that she’s been rejected thousands of times over her decades-long career. When Liza was finally cast as the scrappy sandwich shop cook in the pilot for “The Bear,” alongside Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, it turned out to be her big break. The show became a hit with critics and viewers and was recently renewed for a third season. “I will never be casual about it,” Liza tells host Kerry Diamond. “I know what it’s like to hustle and hustle.” On today’s episode, Liza discusses why “The Bear” resonates so deeply with the hospitality industry, preparing for the role of Tina, dealing with rejection, Christmas in Puerto Rico, why she’d be trapped on a desert island with Anthony Bourdain, and more.
