SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
In this episode of Well Coached, Chris sits down with Carolyn Nugent and Alen Ramos, owners and pastry chefs of Poulette Bakeshop, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, partnership, resilience, and what it takes to turn world-class craft into a business that actually works.
Carolyn and Alen share their journey from elite fine dining and Michelin-level kitchens to building their own nationally recognized bakery in Parker, Colorado. After years of training under some of the best chefs in the world, they took the leap into entrepreneurship — bringing their artistry, discipline, and relentless work ethic into a business of their own.
Throughout the conversation, Carolyn and Alen reflect on what it means to work together as spouses, lead a team with both excellence and empathy, and stay committed through challenging seasons. They talk about the realities of cash flow, customer education, leadership, health challenges, and the daily grind behind creating something beautiful.
This episode is a powerful look at partnership, perseverance, and the kind of disciplined creativity it takes to climb the mountain; one rep, one decision, and one pastry at a time.
