Each week, we welcome a guest from all different areas of show business to tell us how they got their start, their worst failures, their highest of highs, and all the bumps and turns in between. Mary got started young in the restaurant scene of New York City in the 90s, and her career has brought her on the ride of a lifetime. She tells us how she got by in the early days with the help of friends, family, and mentors, eventually leading to her starting her own catering business, Mary Giuliani Catering and Events which caters to an A list roster of clients like Bradley Cooper. Mary dives into her 15-year journey which has led to two creative memoirs and a cookbook (and gives Angie some pointers for her own, from one Italian American to another!).
