The latest episode of The Elevator Pitch features an energizing conversation between our founder Hugh Williams and Mindy Segal, a James Beard Award winning pastry chef, cookbook author, and the creative force behind Mindy’s Hot Chocolate and Mindy’s Bakery. Segal breaks down the discipline behind great pastry, how relentless iteration shapes signature desserts, and why curiosity stays her main ingredient.

She talks culture building in the kitchen, mentoring the next wave, and what it takes to keep elevating for the next 15 years and beyond.
