Patience isn’t passive — it’s intentional, active, and often tested when progress feels slow. In this episode of Cooking Your Way Through Life, I’m joined by OG for a grounded conversation about patience in both life and the kitchen. We talk about how patience shows up when you’re building something meaningful and why comparing your journey to someone else’s only creates unnecessary pressure. On the culinary side, we focus on risotto — a dish that demands attention, restraint, and trust in the process. I break down my four pillars of making great risotto, and how each one directly connects to patience. You can’t rush it, you can’t skip steps, and you can’t force results — the dish tells you when it’s ready. We also dive into the idea that your journey is yours alone. Timing looks different for everyone, and being patient with your own path is just as important as putting in the work. This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re behind, waiting, or questioning their pace — a reminder that patience isn’t wasted time, and growth doesn’t happen on anyone else’s schedule Guest: OG Music producer and world-traveling professional musician who has worked with artists including Bryson Tiller, Elhae, Masego, Xavier Omar, T.I., John Legend, Trippie Redd, and more.
