Eva Chen and Tom Bannister are the Internet’s first couple: Chen is head of fashion partnerships at Instagram and a best-selling author—and before that she was editor in chief of Lucky magazine. Bannister is a creative director and entrepreneur who makes the most delicious granola, Tom’s Perfect 10, which had a 17,000-person wait list when it launched last year. Through it all, they’ve never strayed from being unapologetically authentic. Together with their three children, they split their time between New York City and a charming cottage in Connecticut. Tune in as we hear about how they used customer feedback to launch a granola brand and how the pair is adjusting to life outside the city. Spoiler alert: They’re gardeners now!

Eva Chen and Tom Bannister on Designing for Three Kids (and Yourselves!), First-Time Gardening, and Launching a Granola Empire

Eva Chen is one of the most multi-hyphenated folks in New York City. The head of fashion partnerships at Instagram, she’s also a mom of three, former editor in chief and beauty editor, social media influencer, and New York Times bestselling children’s book author. The last thing she expected to be is a granola muse, but that’s her latest role thanks to her husband Tom Bannister’s passion project, Tom’s Perfect 10 Original Granola. Tom, the creative director at the Billion Dollar Boy agency during the day, transformed his fondness for granola into an actual business during the pandemic and now it’s a buzzy brand, thanks to a playful Instagram strategy, a two-way conversation with customers, and feedback from Eva. The college sweethearts join host Kerry Diamond to talk about granola as well as Eva’s latest book, I Am Golden, which she describes as a celebration of AAPI joy and her most personal book yet. Thanks to American Unagi and Luke’s Lobster for supporting today’s show.
