· How does fame impact one’s identity?

· How do you cope with the pressures that come with fame and perceived ‘overnight’ success?

· Who or what can you turn to in times of struggle?

Celebrated chef Asma Khan was born in India, named number 1 on Business Insider’s 2019 list of "100 Coolest People in Food and Drink", and shot to fame after being the first British chef to appear on Netflix show Chef’s Table. Where others crumble, Asma has taken everything in her stride and doesn’t let fame define her. 

Asma doesn’t proclaim to be an entrepreneur because she’s never allowed herself to be labeled by anyone. She finds it limiting. Asma’s path to becoming a successful chef and business owner wasn’t easy. She joins Vladi and Nektarios to share her very personal story: how she has built her business in the face of adversity, has felt loneliness but has pushed through largely with the support of a very close network of women.
