In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Golden Corral president and CEO Lance Trenary about how Golden Corral has defied critics who left it for dead, how the brand is modernizing its model, and how it’s diversifying its service channels to meet the customers where they are at.

In this conversation, you’ll find out why:

• You shouldn’t take your critics seriously — use their criticism as fuel
• Focus your energy on problems you can control
• COVID exposed the “soft underbelly” of your business, and that’s where you should continue to drive innovation
• New business models are an opportunity for both new markets and new operating partners
• The value equation is more important than ever as inflation rages
• Your comeback can be better than your setback
