Jessica Koncz created the app Crave, the Tinder for foods. It's a cool way to discover cafes and restaurants, as well as access deals. Jess grew Crave from an Instagram page and early on acted as the brains, photographer, and rep for the brand. She started the Instagram page as a hobby to showcase local cafes and restaurants. This is a story of enterprising thinking, a desire to succeed, doing what it takes, envisioning the future of food. Here's what we discuss this week with Jess. When people ask Jess what she does, how does she like to respond? What is Crave and how do we use it? Tinder for food - why that description? Where did the dream of working in hospitality start for Jess? Why has Jess always loved cafes? How did Crave get started? When did Jess know when to take Crave from a hobby to a paying full-time job? How does a company become Instagram-able? To grow a social media following, how much is timing and how much is skill? Why did Jess believe she could do this, and how did Jess handle the voice of doubt? Where did Jess learn the leadership skills at such a young age? Does Jess have learning rituals? What are the most important inputs for Jess? How does Jess set up the day? Where does Jess create true deep think time? What is Jess' greatest fear? What does the future look like? Do customers have a greater appreciation for visuals? Are we more visually literate and have greater expectations that things will look good? What compliment would Jess most like to receive? What is the best lesson Jess has been given to lead? Best piece of advice does Jess has for anyone who has to sell their idea? LINKS Crave
