Description:

Tech startups and chocolate don’t seem like they have anything in common; but Ben Tseitlin, an entrepreneur and educator, uses chocolate as a way to introduce people to making. His company Benchic Chocolate offers hands-on classes in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, and also sells complete chocolate-making kits so you can experience the process at home. Listen to our conversation with Ben as we discuss:

  • The pleasure of taking things apart to see how they work
  • College pressure and its role in molding extracurricular activities
  • University prestige and its inverse relationship with practical skills training
  • Choosing to leave the expected path
  • The meditative process of making chocolate
  • The satisfaction of teaching others
