About The Leader's Table hosted by Chris Lipscomb and Ricky Villanueva

Chris and I(Ricky Villanueva) met while in the Leadership Development Program with Chick-fil-A Inc. on assignment to open a restaurant in Ohio. We reconnected in the Summer of 2024 on LinkedIn and as I saw an opportunity to start a podcast, I reached out to Chris to help me co-host. Chris and I shared our stories and were inspired to make this dream a reality. Chris has over a decade of restaurant experience and his story will provide inspiration, clarity, and impact on your personal journey. I also have over a decade of restaurant experience and see this podcast as a way to truly provide a platform for the impactful/inspirational stories of our community.MissionTo inspire others by highlighting real stories and adversity that leaders face todayAs leaders, we have seen the very real impact you can have on others through sharing your story. We saw the need to share the real adversity leaders face today in a real and authentic wayCore ValuesCourageCuriosityAuthenticityService

Tune in for our seventh episode of The Leader's Table with Christy Schaaf, currently the Operator of North Bergen FSU in North Bergen, NJ!

I reached out to Christy as I knew she could provide insight, inspiration, and encouragement to others.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
