We all know the stresses and anxiety that entrepreneurship brings. Jessica Bucceri knows anxiety all to well. Being bullied in high school and the passing of her grandmother threw Jessica into an anxiety ridden tailspin. She acquired not just your every day anxiety. She acquired agoraphobia which makes you fear and avoid public or crowded places. Using baking as her medicine Jessica didn't let her anxiety deter her pursuit of her passion of baking. She's been on TV's Cake Wars, opened JB Couture Cupcakes in Belmar, NJ and is getting ready to go big or go home! We hope you enjoy Tom & Joe's interview with this super strong and young entrepreneur who is truly triumphing over her fears.

Rasheed Simmons former New York Giant and Carolina Panther turned entrepreneur talks to Joe & Tom about his journey from the gridiron to the grill. If in the Jersey Shore area be sure to check out Simply Southern in Belmar, NJ for mouth watering southern style cooking!
