January 25, 2021 Kathryn Minshew
Kathryn Minshew – CEO & Founder - TheMuse.com

Location: Izakaya NoMad in New York City
At 29 years old, this young tech dynamo has done something thousands of others twice her age have tried and failed. Her website, TheMuse.com, helps people find the perfect job. She started with one person in her living room and she has grown the company to 50 million visitors every month. In this episode of To Dine For, we go with her to her favorite restaurant, Izakaya NoMad, in the heart of Manhattan. Izakaya is a Japanese gastro-pub known for its delicious grilled meats, fresh sushi and a closing time of 2am. Kathryn explains how she was able to take “a great idea,” raise millions of dollar in capital and turn her concept into a premier destination for Millennials to find jobs.

Jason Mayden – Designer, Nike

Location: Giordano's in Chicago, IL

When Jason Mayden grew up on the South Side of Chicago, he dreamed of being like Michael Jordan. Instead, he went on to design shoes for him. His Nike Air Monarch became the highest grossing shoe of all time. Jason takes us to Giordano’s Deep Dish pizza to tell us why this Chicago comfort food staple is also symbolic of why he loves this city and how it fueled his imagination and dreams. Jason’s neighborhood is one of the most dangerous in the city yet he believes the perceived negative aspects became strategic advantages for him in business and life.

November 24, 2020 Jim McIngvale
Jim McIngvale – Philanthropist & Owner of Gallery Furniture

Location: Lopez Mexican Restaurant in Houston, TX

When Jim started his mattress business in Houston, Texas he had just $5,000 and a pickup truck. Now, he has amassed a furniture empire through his “wacky ads” and gregarious personality. It was, however, a single act of kindness that thrust him into the international spotlight. During Hurricane Harvey, he opened the doors of all of his stores to displaced residents, earning him local adoration and international cheers. We go with Jim to his favorite Mexican restaurant, Lopez Family restaurant, to eat fajitas and hear the story of how any local businessman can make a tremendous social impact.
