Chef's Special w/ Chef–Veteran–EMT Rory Leahy

Blood Sweat & Careers

This week we find the special ingredient that makes Rory Leahy such a great guest! Rory started his career in the army leading him to a eye-rolling stint as a quality control lab technician (read: taste tester). He loved his role as an EMT while waiting for a position to open up to be a firefighter. An eye injury meant that dream would never come true, so he ditched the low-paying gig (Yes, most people working in healthcare make minimum wage). Today, he's found success as a chef running his own kitchen at Swill Inn in Chicago. Co-hosts Austin, Mallory and Katherine talk with Rory about finding Buddhism, finding your place in a role, and how what we're "meant" to do is sometimes the skill we take for granted.
