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

By: Ricardo Villanueva
  • Summary

    • 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.

  • The Leader's Table Ep. 4 with Emily Martin
    Jan 25 2025

    Tune in for our fourth episode of The Leader's Table with Emily Martin, currently the Operator of Lathrop Marketplace FSU in Lathrop, CA! I had a great conversation with Emily and did my best to channel my inner Chris Lipscomb as he unfortunately was not able to join us. Emily and I both were in LDP but we did not cross paths as we were in the program at different times. Emily and I have been connected on LinkedIn for some time. I have followed Emily's journey on LinkedIn and reached out to Emily as I knew she could provide insight, inspiration, and encouragement to others. Emily joins me to dive into topics from staying grounded through challenges to empower and equipping your team to being your true/authentic self. Emily brings a wealth of knowledge and we hope this episode can inspire all different roles in the restaurant industry!

    After this conversation, I thought about posting the entire conversation without editing. Please enjoy this unedited podcast recording and please pardon any stumbling of words!
