Show Notes
In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with three more leaders from the recent Prosper Forum in Amelia Island, Fla.: Andre Vener, cofounder of Dog Haus; Geoff Alexander, president and CEO of Wow Bao; and Josh Halpern, CEO of Big Chicken. They represent three fast-casual concepts that are quickly growing with innovation and talent development at the core of everything they do, and they joined the podcast to offer a look at how exciting young brands can scale while protecting the authenticity of the ideas that made them exciting in the first place.
In this conversation, you’ll find out why:
- Tech innovation requires smart tech minds in your leadership positions
- Carryout innovation is key to alleviating fee fatigue
- You can’t grow without innovation
- Innovation isn’t without bumps in the road; how you navigate those bumps ultimately decides your fate
- Culture is hard to develop once you’re at scale, so start early
- Your workforce is probably Gen Z, so train them as such
- If you authentically try to meet your teams where they are, they’ll give you the benefit of the doubt
