Samantha Wood is one of the most prominent food critics in the Gulf region.Her alias is Foodiva, below is the award winning website where she reviews new or up and coming restaurants.https://www.foodiva.netWith almost a decade into running her business, Samantha knows a thing or two when it comes to hospitality, as her dad used to run hotels for a living, plus she had extensive experience in corporate hospitality P.R.Samantha wears many disguises, not only does she write for her award winning website, but also curates dining experiences and is a PR consultant. More recently, at the start of the crisis, she launched the #UAERestaurantsUnite pro bono social media campaign to support restaurants.Her reviews are completely impartial, doing her homework on the cuisine and the chef, the day before heading to the restaurant, to ensure she has the full heads up, not forgetting that the bill is fully paid by Samantha herself.Describing the journey as not easy for the first two years, hence consultancy was on the breadwinner in the very beginning.Having a love of hospitality is one of the reasons she is so passionate about all things food and supporting the industry however possible, as you can imagine, writing reviews has also given her notoriety amongst foodies and professionals alike, not just in Dubai but around the world.There are a number of local chefs who she respects for pushing up the levels of cuisine and creativity in the city of Dubai.One of those being Colin Clague, who has been a prominent figure in the food scene for quite some time, his latest venture is Ruya, a modern take on Turkish food - http://www.ruyadubai.comAnother chef we discussed is Reif Othman, continuing to push the boundaries, trying new dishes on his guests almost every week, with one of his latest ventures, he is cooking top a storm - https://reifkushiyaki.comOne of the greats that always get mentioned on this podcast, is the late Anthony Bourdain. Samantha was fortunate enough to interview him face to face, at one of the most amazing press trips that she was invited to, listen out for that story!With having so much knowledge plus having such an amazing palate, which is the meal that is to be one of the most memorable for an award winning food critic?Just before the closing down of the St Pellegrino's Top 50 best restaurants, she describes having dined at the famous Gaggan - https://gaggananand.comThis was to be one of the most incredible meals she has ever had the pleasure of enjoying, so much so that she wanted to go the after-party!An advocate for the amazing food in the Gulf, Samantha wants tourists to experience the very best that the United Arab Emirates has to offer, we are not just talking about chicken shawarmas and hummus, it is far deeper than that. When going to Italy you will only eat Italian, when visiting Japan you only eat Japanese, but it is not the same when arriving in Dubai for some reason, and this is what needs to change, not just in her eyes, but in the view of many other foodies in the region.Overall it seems like Samantha is a guardian for the food scene, and to that we say thank you FOODIVA!Support the showFollow The Chef JKP Podcast on Instagram HERE

Tennessee-based artist Samantha Wood, began her career as an art educator. Her students’ ideas and boldness have served as a source of motivation for her. This eventually led to her desire to focus intently on her own paintings and practice. What began as a realistic approach has now developed into a colorful, crisp and lush style of her own. Samantha has been enamored with the work of Van Gogh since she was a child. His use of color has inspired her to exaggerate and intensify colors within her work. Samantha wants her art to exude excitement, growth and hope in a world that can sometimes feel dark and lonely. Since embarking upon her own artistic journey several years ago, Samantha has had a solo show and participated in juried art festivals. She has been invited to participate in a number of local and regional shows and will have another solo show later this year. Samantha is looking forward to continued work on her botanical series, while also exploring some new ideas behind the scenes. https://www.samanthawood.art https://www.instagram.com/samanthawoodart/

Samantha Wood Philadelphia Eagles Director of Digital and Social Media joins host Brian Clapp on the Work in Sports Podcast.Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast…Everyone wants to work in sports social media. Ok, that's hyperbolic, it isn't everyone, but it seems pretty darn close. No one, or at least very few people, remark that they want to work in sports sales, despite it having a really high career ceiling, and money making potential. Very few share their love and desire to work in facility management, or consumer goods, despite the enormous opportunities at sports facilities around the globe and massive consumer brands churing out shoes apparal and equipment and monumental clips.Nope, it seems most of you have sold your soul to Twitter. I'll admit, I'll see a tweet from friend of the show Katie Gillen from Atlanta FC when she shares a cool graphic, or behind the scenes video, or incredible photo, or funny comment related to the team… and think to myself, she's got a pretty awesome job.Or I notice today's guest Samantha Wood, Director of Digital and Social Media with the Philadelphia Eagles do the same, and there may be a tinge of creative jealousy. As a creator myself, you see people put in positions to be creative and thrive… and sure, I can absolutely see the excitement behind working in social media for a team or organization.BUT - I don't want to dampen the dream, but I want to be very clear with all of you. I believe wholeheartedly in settingreasonbale expectations. Telling people the truth about the industry and it's roles…Social Media in sports is not just a content party.I lifted this directly from a job posting for a social media coordinator from our site WorkinSports.com - where if you hadn't noticed, there ar 14,482 active jobs right now on our site… so for all you people struggling to get started in the industry… we have the jobs!Anyway, I lifted these details from one of jobs currently active on our site for a social media coordinator. Track & analyze social media insights, trends and new platforms.Execute paid social media campaigns and budgets.Assist with website content via the content management system including but not limited to events, weekly promotions, photo galleries, general info (contact info, hours, FAQ, inquiry forms), news articles, etc.Help with database collection through contests, promotions, campaigns and events.Ability to learn and create visually appealing graphic designs using Canva. Assist with coordination and management of photography and videography assets.Plan, design and manage the outbound emails including database management and content.Work with sponsors on activations and implementation of their contracts.Work with operations to execute Game Day promotions, sponsorship implementation and in game program elementsLet's pull out some key skills there -- Tracking and analysing data. Budgeting. Executing paid campaigns. Database management. Creating graphics on Canva. Managing content assets. Activation. Contracts. Game Day promotions. Now a coordinator is an entry level role, imagine how this ramps up as you become a director!  As I said, Sports social media isn't just a content playground, it's a function of the business operations of the team or organization, and you need to have more than just the ability to tweet to get these jobs.No one better to teach you that, than todays guest Samantha Wood - Director of Digital and Social platforms with the Philadelphia Eagles!Listen in to this great episode of the Work in Sports podcast to hear Samantha Wood discuss her role and challenges.
