What's Good Dough?

While we aren't changing the podcast to a bagel-focused one, I am intrigued. Let's say that the SF pizza, bagel, and beer festival may have been my gateway into something delicious and pizza adjacent. 

 

This episode is a quick one but I hope it opens up the door for pizza makers who do bagels to come on the pod and show us the way. Heck, I'd even love to invite solely bagel makers on for a full length episode. Why not?

 

In this episode, we recap some of the conversations with bagel makers at the festival and uncover some of the fascination pizza makers have had with bagels over the last few years.

This is Part 1 of a 2-Part Series featuring Brad and Nicole Bean!

Brad and Nicole Bean, owners of Pizaro's Pizza, talk about how they're able to pursue their love for travel while managing multiple businesses at the same time. They emphasize the benefits of a healthy work-life balance and the importance of seeing the world while you still can.

 

Highlights:

🌎 Start training your employees from day 1 to be in your world.

🗃️ You don't have to do everything. Learn to delegate and let your business go. Your employees may not do things as perfectly, but they're going to learn and grow from the experience.

👀 The best way to understand the world is to see it with your own two eyes. You'll gain a lot of value from tangible experiences you can fully immerse yourself in.

⌛ You can't get time back, so if there's something you want to do now, do it while you still have the time. Enjoy your life today because tomorrow is not promised.

Brent Gargasz outlines seven lessons he has learned throughout his time as a business owner that helped him improve his leadership skills.

💗 A good leader connects with their employees and understands what motivates them. They get them to take pride in their work and find meaning in the tasks they do.

This is Part 2 of a 3-Part series featuring Brent Gargasz!

Brent Gargasz talks about the cookie business within his pizzeria, Pizza Nerds, and how adding cookies to his menu greatly benefitted his pizza sales.

 

Highlights:

🍪 Brent's wife, Caitlyn, runs a cookie business and sells them alongside his pizzas. They sell out of cookies every day due to high demand.

🥣 You can use your existing equipment to make different food items and diversify your menu.

💢 Having a low-cost food item in your pizzeria is a great way to turn negative customer experiences into positive ones. You can use them as a means of apology if you mess up someone's order.

💰 It's okay to learn how to make a product while you're selling it, as long as you know you're creating a product that's worth selling.

Highlights:

🗣️ Alastair offers consulting services to pizzerias. He helps them determine what systems and equipment they can use to make their business run smoothly.

🧑‍🔧 Alastair believes that pizzerias should find a good balance between using technology and human labor. He doesn't recommend the use of technology over human labor for all pizzerias, as some machines are better in situations with high labor.

This is part 2 of a 3-part series featuring Caleb Orozco!

Caleb discusses his personal development journey and how it shaped him to become a better leader at Last Round Tavern. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards, building a strong relationship with his team, and a strong work ethic.

 

Highlights:

📝 You don't need to know everything about pizza before you make it. Focus on getting more experience making pizza, instead of trying to learn all the industry terms right away.

🫂 Prioritize building up the people working with you, rather than the product. The product is reflective of the people that make it.

👑 The best way to lead is by example. Leadership is about serving your employees and customers.
