Stop Playing It Safe: Katherine Miller on the Real Risk of Staying Apolitical

What if staying quiet is the riskiest move you can make?

5 Day Restaurant Profitability Challenge

Katherine Miller built her career where politics and policy collide—and she’s not afraid to bring chefs into the fight. From her early days in democratic campaigns to working with global nonprofits and the UN, Katherine’s mission has been clear: empower the most trusted voices in food to influence the systems that shape it.

In this episode, we dig into why chefs are uniquely positioned to drive real change, how restaurant owners can speak up without alienating guests, and the surprising cost of silence in today’s political climate. She shares a clear, actionable framework for advocacy and explains why being apolitical doesn’t protect you—it sidelines you.

For any operator wondering how to take a stand without losing their seat at the table, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
