Welcome to Fi$H Factor, where multi-generational grit meets visionary hustle. Mike Ungaro, CEO of San Pedro Fish Market and co-creator of the Kings of Fi$H TV series, sits down with Adam Carrillo, CEO of Partake Collective and Vice President at Sunstone Management, to talk about how innovation and community investment are shaping the next chapter of the restaurant industry.

From ghost kitchens in Long Beach and Los Angeles to partnerships that power local economic growth, Adam explains how Partake helps chefs and operators expand without the massive overhead of traditional brick and mortar. He shares how flexible kitchens, cold storage, and event staging space create new revenue streams for independent restaurateurs and caterers, and how tools like OrderDirect.ai are helping them own their customer data, boost margins, and drive loyalty.

They also explore how public-private partnerships and smart finance can bring new life to cities, turning empty spaces into hubs of food, creativity, and connection. It is a conversation about vision, innovation, and the business of feeding communities.
