The Gross Anatomy Podcast steps out of the hospital and into the kitchen this week. Hosts Dr. Jason Cohen and Lauren Taylor sit down with Caroline D’Amore — better known to her fans as Pizza Girl — for a conversation about what it really takes to go from modeling and acting to running a thriving food business as its CEO.
From Modeling and Acting to CEO
Caroline’s path didn’t start in food. She built her early career in front of the camera — modeling and acting — before reinventing herself as an entrepreneur. On this episode she dishes on how that leap actually happened, and what surprised her most about trading sets and shoots for the responsibilities of running a company.
The Trick to the Perfect Pizza — and the Hard Economics of Pasta Sauce
What makes a truly great pizza? Caroline shares her trick to creating the perfect pie, and gets refreshingly candid about the business side of the food world — including why it’s so hard to actually make money selling pasta sauce.
Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars and Learning to Love Failure
Caroline also talks about her time on Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, and about a mindset shift that shaped her as a founder: learning to love her failures rather than fear them.
A Sorority Row Sequel?
Horror fans, take note: the cult love for Sorority Row keeps growing — and it might just pull Caroline back in front of the camera for a sequel.
