Not Another Cooking Show | Stephen Cusato Interview | Passion In Progress

Stephen Cusato is the creator behind Not Another Cooking Show, a YouTube channel teaching others how to be better cooks. In the episode we tackle topics like going into debt to pursue your passion, creating a format to your show so you don't have to reinvent the wheel each time you make a video , and how getting 70k subscribers in 2 months effected his content creation. I hope these tips and experiences will help you run a successful cooking channel on YouTube as well.

MAKE TIME. PODCAST By Miguel Meola: Today’s guest is Stephen Cusato. Steven is a content creator who focuses on the culinary side of things. We talk about how he got into cooking because of the lack of awareness a lot people have about food, how he ended up quitting his day job and dove into starting a food truck from scratch in New York City, to him picking up a camera and starting a production company out of his apartment. Now he is 1 year into his journey of starting a cooking show on YouTube called Not Another Cooking Show and building up his social media brand. We also talk about mental wellness, building confidence, and trying to dig yourself out of a rut. I hope you all enjoy this conversation.
