After years as a product leader in tech, Fabrice found himself at an unexpected crossroads: a layoff.
Instead of searching for another tech role, he took a risk he’d quietly dreamed about for years — starting a food business centered around traditional French butter cookies.
In this episode, we unpack:
- How he evaluated financial and emotional risk before making the leap
- The surprising economics of running a food business
- Why his first product wasn’t his final product
- The power of marketing and storytelling in building demand
- How AI tools now power everything from operations to content
- What it really means to “fail fast” outside of tech
This is a story about identity, reinvention, and courage — about choosing passion without abandoning discipline.
If you’re navigating your own second act, this conversation will resonate deeply.
