Making sure you enjoy and love what you do, it is the key lesson we took away
from our research on chef Duff Goldman. He discussed his passion for baking and
his path to success. Duff Goldman has a thriving bakery in part because he
genuinely loved what he does.

“I love baking”. “I love it”. He claimed that when he bakes with people, they can
see and feel it since he talks about it constantly. You can't fool them; you have to
love it. We think we can put it to use in our own development as a chef.
