Quotes about career path, skills, and teamwork from an industry leader.

In the restaurant industry, it’s definitely about finding the work/life balance.
I regularly make sure to spend time with my family, and set aside time for travel and personal trips.
I find inspiration when dining at new restaurants, traveling to other markets that my restaurants are not in, and exploring what’s trending in the media.
When hiring, instead of just seeking candidates with all the "skills," I look for someone who is passionate, ambitious, and ready to learn.
Don’t wait until tomorrow!
I always try to be proactive and stay ahead – you never know what may come up the next day.
