Rise Up! The Baker Podcast With Mark Dyck

After many months away from the mic, Mark is finally publishing a 'lost episode' where he talks with his old buddy Nate Houge of Brake Bread in St. Paul, Minnesota. Nate wanted to hear the entire 'Mark the Baker' story in one go, and share that story in one place. Ever the contrarian, Mark got Nate talking about his life in Minnesota too. In this episode, two old friends catch up, discuss aging, family, musicals and lots and lots of baking, starting with Mark's first forays into brick ovens, right up to why personal growth and workshops like the Bakery Leadership Circle are so important. There is also talk about the fourth edition of Bakery Leadership Circle, launching in March, 2026! Helpful Links Brake Bread website @brakebread on Instagram Support the Podcast Here! Rise Up!
