female entrepreneurship & food as medicine - Barbara Basalgete in #justfuckindoit interview No. 43

In this English episode of #justfuckindoit I talk to Barbara
Basalgete, a French female entrepreneur with African roots who
has been growing up in Europe and the United States. We have
worked together in a US cyber security company where she was
handling the instructor development program. Barbara was born and
partially raised in Ghana before she moved to the US with 13
years where she was living over a decade before she was deciding
to spend her life in Nice/France with her husband. Just a few
years ago she quit her old job and kicked off her own startup
with a plant based restaurant and a juice bar. She thinks about
food as medicine and offers locally grown seasonal food to teach
people how to nourishing themselves.


We are talking about the role of a healthy balanced life with
Yoga and nutrition, her life before that and how she came to the
US and finally moved to France, her editor „cushion“ job in
Washington D.C. and the chance she took to start an international
director job working from home that involved a lot of travelling
between Europe and the US. How exciting that was for her after
just having finished business school, when she nearly already
opened up a restaurant but then started a business career as a
training for her now entrepreneur life. Barbara shares how
important alignment with her passion for health is, what
learning-by-doing and a natural failure culture means for her and
how perceverance and resilience helped her to succeed. We are
also looking at how the Covid restrictions challenged her in a
very specific way, what she learned from it and which chances
there are in these kind of unexpected situations.


Thanks so much for this courageous interview giving hope to so
many startups and entrepreneurs out there.
