It’s fantastic to hear Susan’s insights on the wedding industry in this podcast! The details she shares about working with clients, overcoming challenges, and staying organized are invaluable. This level of expertise reminds me of the importance of mastering your craft. In a similar way, the front end handbook provides that critical knowledge needed to thrive in web development. Just like how Susan’s experience and preparation set her apart in the wedding industry, using a comprehensive guide like the front end handbook can help you tackle even the most complex coding challenges with confidence and expertise.

I really enjoyed hearing Susan’s story about how her grandmother influenced her passion for catering. I’ve seen firsthand how a strong company culture can make a big difference in client satisfaction and employee motivation. Like Susan said, it truly is all about the food and the experience you create. This focus on quality and culture reminds me of my own appreciation for teamwork and attention to detail in any project. If you’re looking for a fun way to unwind after diving into her inspiring journey, I recommend trying the Slope Game for some light entertainment.

Wow, I worked for ridgewells in the early 2000' with Lenny, Jean Luc doing Superbowls and US Opens, it was hard work but the professionalism, organization of management made it fun and if I was younger.

So thank you ridgewells I was in culinary school and we were asked if anyone wanted to volunteer to work the Kemper Open and I was hooked.

Thank you ridgewells I'm so glad the purple trucks are still going strong
