It's safe to say they have succeeded in starting up a well known brand based on their decision to expand to a second location across the bridge in Oakland. Of course success does not happen overnight and in this episode we talk about takin...

Prior to the start of our conversation, I found out Kaleigh puts a 110% into everything she does. She's eaten at the best pizza joints from sea to shining sea and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge by chopping it up with amazing pizzaiolas and pizzaiolos and tasting their food. Those insights, along with a positive vibe, is why she's killing it in her own pizza pop up. One day I want to be like Kaleigh Ann.

Audrey is a huge fan of "mentorship" e.g. someone you can run things by. It doesn't have to be as formal as, OMG DO YOU WANT TO BE MY MENTOR.. Do you actually need a mentor going into the pizza business? Sure you can do it all yourself, but what if your intuition/education sets you up for a less than ideal situation? Or what if it leads you to leasing a terrible location? If you have a person who is as passionate as you are in the business, they may be able to guide you from getting yourself int...

It appears that there is no stop for this woman. As we celebrate Juneteenth, I'd like to share a quote I read today. "Juneteenth is...
