Lina and JC are back in the studio, coffee in hand and stories to tell. In this episode, they reflect on the first quarter of 2025, celebrating wins, navigating chaos, and venting (just a little) about the creative challenges that come with building a studio and managing multiple shows. From working with celebrity chef Pati Jinich to wrangling too many “chefs” in the production kitchen, they share the reality behind the scenes at OLAS.
From workflow lessons to ego checks, this conversation is equal parts hilarious and honest. And yes, they finally hit record.
