SNACKING with KATE
Kate Masewich
“Sometimes I find myself scrolling through the feed of the person who walks dogs for the personal trainer of some celebrity I don’t even care about.”
If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time?
Spend time with family and friends. But probably also sleep.
What songs have you completely memorized?
Every Steely Dan song.
Who is your role model and why?
Ina Garten. She’s a self-taught cook and entrepreneur who has dedicated her life to her career. I love that she makes no apologies for not having kids and has enjoyed a wonderful life with her partner. She is so authentic and loveable that you just want her to be your best friend/Mom.
What are the go-to snacks you like to eat?
Savory all day! Cucumbers with roasted red pepper hummus or Miss Vickie's salt and vinegar chips.
According to you, who is the best-dressed person in business?
It’s so hard to pick one! I love Michelle Obama in anything, especially those Balenciaga boots! I’ve seen Joanna Griffiths (CEO, Knix Wear) and Whitney Wolfe Heard (CEO, Bumble) on panels and they are my go-to inspiration for work events. But Serena Williams on the court is life.
What skill are you determined to master?
To be the ultimate host. I want to be known for throwing lavish dinner parties with amazing food and great conversation.
What three films best describe your personality?
Moana, Bring It On, She’s The Man

Treat others the way you want to be treated
Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 18-year-old self?
Your parents are great but they don’t always know what’s best for you. Explore your interests and discover what you like on your own.

No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom, The Postal Service - Give Up, Steely Dan - Aja
Which activities make you lose track of time?
Instagram - sometimes I find myself scrolling through the feed of the person who walks dogs for the personal trainer of some celebrity I don’t even care about.
How many Gum Balls would it take to fill a Boeing 747 Airplane?

Do you believe there is a way to turn your passions in to work, and if so, how?
I think you can be passionate about the work you do and do work that you are passionate about. I’ve done jobs that I didn’t care about and worked at companies that I didn’t truly believe in, but I think it’s important to try to align yourself with a brand you admire. When you do so you’ll find your work incredibly rewarding.
What’s the last item you purchased with cash?
I put $20 in a slot machine in Vegas...I did not win.

Sativa
Read receipt or nah?
