In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Luke Holden, founder and CEO of Luke’s Lobster, a seafood fast casual that has a vertically integrated supply chain — the company owns the entire distribution process from the moment the lobster comes off the boat to the moment it’s served in Luke’s brick and mortar shacks. 

In this conversation, you’ll find out why: 

• You should invest in your supply chain’s success
• In the midst of supply chain challenges, consider that you can make long-term gains through short-term pains
• In a season of complete disruption, you can create long-term value
• You shouldn’t count out urban areas for growth
• Being vulnerable as a leader can help you problem solve and build culture
