The Cookbook: Recipes for Marketing & Business Success

Welcome to The Cookbook—a business and marketing podcast hosted by me, Iris Goldfeder, founder of GasStoveCreative, broadcasting from Lafayette, Indiana, to entrepreneurs worldwide. And spoiler alert... It’s not a cooking show!

Here on The Cookbook, we’re opening the book on the real recipes behind building a successful business. Entrepreneurship doesn't look the same for everyone, and neither does success.

Whether you're just thinking about starting a small business or you're a seasoned entrepreneur looking for growth strategies, this show is for you. Every episode, you'll hear from all kinds of industry leaders—tech founders, business coaches, creatives, and spiritual entrepreneurs—as they share their startup stories. We talk about the massive wins, the missteps, and the real struggles that shaped who they are today.

I hope you enjoy listening to these entrepreneurial journeys as much as I’m enjoying interviewing these amazing guests. Let's open The Cookbook together! And until next time... go out and find what lights YOUR fire!
