Elizabeth welcomes Jake Cohen, New York Times bestselling cookbook author, recipe developer, and one of the most joyful voices in food today. Jake’s culinary journey began with a love of hospitality that led him from the Culinary Institute of America to restaurant kitchens, food media, and eventually to his bestselling cookbooks Jew-ish, I Could Nosh, and his new book, Dinner Party Animal.

In this conversation, Jake and Elizabeth talk about his favorite New York food spots, the lessons he learned working in professional kitchens, and the career pivots that helped him move from restaurants to food media to becoming a celebrated cookbook author. Jake shares how he thinks about ambition, creativity, manifestation, and taking time to recharge after three major book projects. He also opens up about his approach to hosting, why dinner parties do not need to feel stressful, and how food can become the conduit for connection, presence, and joy.

Elizabeth welcomes Robin Arzon - Peloton instructor, ultra-endurance athlete, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and creator of the Project Swagger podcast. Before becoming one of the most recognizable voices in wellness, Robin spent eight years as a corporate litigator in New York City, questioning whether feeling “just okay” was really the standard she wanted for her life.

Robin and Elizabeth dive into the mindset shift that took her from law to fitness, how tuning into flow state helped her redesign her career, and why she chose to feel “proudly tired” instead of simply exhausted. Robin also shares the daily rituals behind her intense training schedule, from sleep optimization and recovery to the plant-based, protein-packed staples and philosophy behind her new cookbook, Eat To Hustle, and explains why movement, sleep, and fuel remain her top three non‑negotiables for thriving.
