In this episode, Sammy sits down with Julian Loué (that’s LOO-AY), the French-American founder of Rise Bakery, a business that rose—quite literally—from his garage! What started as a hobby quickly turned into a full-blown bakery that's now rising to sweet success. 🇫🇷🇺🇸

Julian shares how his passion project became a real business, the challenges he overcame along the way, and the lessons he’s learned on his journey. From his first job to his favorite pastry, Julian opens up about entrepreneurship, identity, and what it's like running a bakery rooted in both French and American traditions.

✨ Bonus bits? You’ll find out what time he woke up this morning and how his role models helped shape his path.

Plus, don’t miss Sammy’s Speed Picks—where Julian answers the big questions lightning fast: Muffins or Scones? Classic Cartoons or New Shows? Sweet or Savory?
