Rachel Borock's path into entrepreneurship started in the restaurant and service industry, and this episode traces how that experience turned into Catch A Buzz Events, her mobile cocktail catering business. She explains how her passion for crafting drinks evolved into a full customer service experience that clients can bring directly to their own locations across Sarasota.
The conversation also touches on an upcoming reality TV appearance Rachel has lined up for the following year, an opportunity that came about through an encounter in the Sarasota Word of Mouth Group, a detail that says as much about the local community's reach as it does about her business.
As with every episode, the hosts bring things back to Sarasota, getting Rachel's take on the roundabouts before sending her through the Rapid Fire Gauntlet. It's a fun, fast-moving conversation about turning a service-industry background into a growing event business, and about how word travels fast in a city the size of Sarasota. Rachel also shares how she balances event bookings with the day-to-day work of running a small, hands-on catering operation, offering a candid look at what it takes to keep a young hospitality business growing.
