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!
