SHOW NOTES:
If you've ever felt like you were odd or if you have some passion you'd love to build a career or business around and you wondered if you could really pursue your passion and make it pay, then you're really going to enjoy this episode.
Rose Andreesen is a professional tour guide in New Orleans, specializing in ghost, vampire, and mystery-themed walking tours of the historic French Quarter through HauntedHistoryTours.com.
A lifelong storyteller, her passion for the strange and macabre began at a young age and she's been reading about vampires, ghosts, and other creatures of the night for more than 30 years.
Rose has an academic background in Anthropology and Theater Arts and finds her work as both a tour guide and podcaster the perfect marriage of her specializations. This gives a unique, immersive perspective to the tales she weaves for spellbound tourists from around the world.
It's easy to imagine she's been telling these stories for centuries.
Rose moved to New Orleans one year after Hurricane Katrina hit the area and only plans to leave "when her bloated corpse floats out."
She lives in a haunted house with her husband, a pair of black and orange Halloween cats, and a decidedly non-goth corgi mix.
Listen in as Rose shares:
- How her passion showed itself at an early age and why she was drawn to New Orleans
- How seeming disparate work experiences fit together to give her the key skills to become a top tour guide and story teller
- The stage secret that she believes is important for anyone who wants to gain and hold the attention of an audience
- The only time you should apologize to an audience
- When she knew she was "ready" to be a tour guide and how she was able to decide to transition from part time side gig to full time professional
- The hardest part of being a tour guide which is also one of the hardest things about being an entrepreneur
- What you must ask yourself and know about yourself before you dive in to trying to make a passion a financially successful endeavor
And as always, listen all the way to the end where I'll share your cocktail exercise and action step for this episode.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
