Darryl Postelnick, MKTG ‘87 started an Instagram and TikTok cooking show in October 2020 at the suggestion of his pre-teen daughter. He has gone from 9 likes on his first video to approximately 2 million followers. Along the way he has monetized the channel and started his own branded merchandise business, including unique salt and pepper grinders.
