Monty Moran is the former Co-CEO of Chipotle. He joined them when they had 8 stores and left after they had over 2,500 and their valuation grew from a few million to $23 billion over his decade with the company. This isn't a podcast about business though. I had Monty on the show because he cites his main key to the success from having one-on-one conversations with Chipotle employees, connecting the company mission to theirs. He did this 20,000 times. It sounds altruistic, but look at Chipotle's ridiculous success. I'm looking at this personally. You may work at something that you feel is your direct mission. Your purpose. Or you may work at something that is primarily for the purpose of making money so you can exist. If it is the latter, can you attach it to what you really care about? This is what Monty is an expert at and it's the focus of his book, “Love Is Free, Guac Is Extra.” Monty and I have spent time together out here in Colorado and I just appreciate his differing perspectives on life, and the connections we can have.

Discover what's possible when different brains come together. Dr. Temple Grandin is well known for both her pioneer work as an autism advocate and her lifelong dedication to animal welfare. Through groundbreaking research aimed at understanding her own autistic mind, Dr. Grandin propelled the awareness of autism during a time when very little was known of it. She is an incredible source of hope for children with autism, their parents, and anyone with a dream. Dr. Grandin became an internationally recognized leader in animal handling innovations after developing a corral that improved the quality of life of cattle by reducing stress. She has consulted with the USDA and major corporations such as McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Whole Foods, and Chipotle. Today, half of the cattle in North America are handled in facilities she designed. Dr. Grandin is also a prominent author, having written several books on autism and animal behavior. She has been featured on various media outlets and programs, including NPR, BBC, Larry King Live, 2020, Sixty Minutes, and TED, to name a few. In 2010, HBO produced an Emmy Award-winning movie about her life, and later that year, she was highlighted in TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2016, she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. These days, Dr. Grandin continues to write and teaches Animal Science at Colorado State University. In this episode, we discuss: The spectrum of autism needs The evolution of diagnostic criteria Dr. Grandin's opinion on the removal of Asperger's syndrome from the DSM-5 and the classification of autism under a single umbrella The neurodiversity movement ABA therapy Teaching autism awareness in schools Mental health challenges faced by autistic individuals Tips for autistic self-advocates, encouraging targeted advocacy and constructive action to make a difference in their communities For more information about Dr. Grandin and her work, please visit: https://www.templegrandin.com/ https://www.grandin.com/ ----more---- This conversation with Dr. Temple Grandin was originally released on December 10, 2020.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Sam E. Goldberg, creator and host of “Respect the Chain,” a pop culture travel food show that dives into the stories behind the most iconic restaurant chains. “Whether it's Moe's versus Chipotle, ketchup versus mustard, everybody's got an opinion and everybody's educated enough to discuss it,” Goldberg, who is team ketchup, says. “I put ketchup on my rice, I put ketchup on my eggs, I put ketchup on everything.” An attorney, who specializes in real estate law, Goldberg finds he has a really nice balance between his career and his passion project. Law is extremely serious; “‘Respect the Chain' is fun and upbeat. Growing up Jewish in New York City, Goldberg says a love of food is in his DNA. He enjoys traveling and exploring chain restaurants throughout the country and around the world. He also prioritizes sharing his Jewishness, especially during the holidays. “We had the Adam Sandler song, we had that one “Rugrats” episode for Passover, but that was pretty much it [in my youth],” he says. “If I've got a platform, I'm going to make sure everybody sees some Jewish content.” Sam E. Goldberg shares “Respect the Chain's” origins story, why he loves chains - hint: he's a creature of habit, and restaurant best practices. Goldberg also shares his latest discovery, Ratatouille, the movie and the dish. Get his mom's recipe for ratatouille at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.

Circle of Parks Podcast: Talking all things Walt Disney World
Looking for honest Disney dining advice? We're cutting through the magic to tell you what La Cantina de San Angel in Epcot's Mexico Pavilion is really like. After battling World Showcase crowds for a table (while a medical emergency unfolded nearby), we put this quick-service spot to the test.Our dining adventure quickly turned complicated when promised customizations created confusion among staff. Despite assurances that modifications were no problem, our simple requests resulted in deconstructed meals – cheese served in cups rather than on tacos, and chicken delivered separately from nachos. The $15.75 Aros bowl with breaded shrimp offered generous portions but questionable value, while the $16.50 Tacos de Barbacoa disappointed with dry meat that couldn't compete with Chipotle's juicier version. Nolan's $15.50 nachos earned the tepid review of being "just all right" – hardly the enthusiastic endorsement you want when spending Disney prices.The verdict? Skip La Cantina and opt for either San Angel Inn (the sit-down restaurant inside the Mexico Pavilion) or head to Connections Eatery for better quick-service value. We're already eyeing China Pavilion for our next Epcot dining adventure. Whether you're planning your first Disney vacation or your fiftieth, our candid reviews help you maximize both dining credits and out-of-pocket spending. Have you tried La Cantina? We'd love to hear if your experience matched ours or if we caught them on an off day!Send us a textSupport the show
In this episode, Alex and Calvin return to a favorite hobby horse: the University of Austin (UATX). First discussed back in episode 62, this ultra-conservative "university concept" is still not accredited and has no undergraduate degrees planned until at least 2028-2031. In that previous episode, we described UATX variously as right-wing academia's answer to the Fyre Festival and a pitch deck/PowerPoint scam masquerading as an education; this time, we call it a fast-casual university concept (Chipotle for higher ed). We catch up with the myriad ways that UATX continues to struggle under the weight of its own internal contradictions, while occasionally benefitting from being confused for UT Austin (home of some of our favorite previous guests, like Scott Graham and Karma Chávez).After taking stock of US free speech generally in the age of seemingly intractable US-led conflicts in the Middle East and the criminalization of student peace activism, we examine a Quillette article from Ellie Avishai asking if UATX is betraying its founding principles. As Avishai explains, her UATX research center was terminated in response to her posting a rather benign (and ideologically nuanced) LinkedIn post about DEI. We discuss how UATX's claims of championing academic freedom and viewpoint diversity necessarily conflict with its increasingly extreme anti-woke conservative agenda. Given that it is bankrolled by dark money funders and figures connected to corporate interests and political power like Harlan Crow and Joe Lonsdale, the institution appears more dedicated to fortifying right-wing ideas and providing a filter bubble than fostering genuine free inquiry. This makes it particularly ironic that its corporate doublespeak response to Avishai's termination was to use language like "wind up Mill" and "restructure." In these ways, UATX seems to combine the worst of mainstream academia (neoliberal austerity measures justified through corporate doublespeak) with new heights of conservative radicalism. Drawing on Noah Rawlings' piece in The New Inquiry, we peek into the "Forbidden Courses" summer program held at Harlan Crow's Old Parkland office complex in Dallas, where figures like Peter Boghossian and Katie Roiphe hold court. What does it mean for a university to exist primarily as a "safe space" isolating students from opposition, or worse, a "money and influence laundering operation for some of the most abhorrent ideas" (as Alex calls it)? We conclude that despite the real structural flaws in mainstream academia, the pursuit of knowledge and evidence-based argumentation is still vital in higher ed, but it's something that UATX seems fundamentally opposed to.Articles Analyzed in this Episode“Is the University Of Austin Betraying Its Founding Principles?” by Ellie Avishai (in Quillette)“An American Education: Notes from UATX” - Noah Rawlings (in The New Inquiry)Previous Episodes ReferencedE62: re:joinder - The University of the CancelledWorks and Concepts CitedVan Dijk, T.

Music Studio Startup: Helping music teachers thrive as entrepreneurs
Today's episode is part two of a super interesting two-part conversation with Sam Reti, a music teacher and a visionary behind the popular online music lesson platform Muzie.Live. If you haven't listened to the first part, I highly encourage you to go back and listen to that one too. In this episode, Sam shares how a college class at Berkeley, countless Uber and Lyft rides and a whole lot of Chipotle burritos helped launch his first business. And why learning when to quit was just as important as knowing when to keep going. We talk about how the first app idea morphed into a second, and then a third, which is the music we know today. We talk about the decision to bootstrap instead of raising investor money, how Sam adapted when his original business idea didn't pan out, and what he's learned about growing a customer base organically in the music education world. Sam gives an honest behind the scenes look at startup life complete with all the messy, unglamorous realities you don't usually hear about. Here's my conversation with Sam.

Another day, another business closure in Portland – because apparently asking employees not to fear for their lives is too much to expect from city leadership. Next Level Burger's CEO made the "radical" decision to close their West Burnside location after what he described as a "kill or be killed" situation with an unhoused individual on April 29th. The restaurant joined the growing exodus from the area, following Wells Fargo, Verizon, and Chipotle – all citing the same safety concerns that officials pretend don't exist.We break down the CEO's candid admission about the impossible choice between protecting staff and staying open, the pattern of theft and violence that led to this tipping point, and how Portland's policies have created a business graveyard near Providence Park. We also explore the "impossible trinity" of homelessness policy and why throwing more taxpayer money at the problem isn't working.Is anyone surprised that businesses are fleeing when city leaders prioritize everything except public safety? How many more closures will it take before Portland admits their approach has failed?Hit subscribe if you're tired of politicians gaslighting us about "progress" while our communities crumble.

I'm back. Maybe. The sad truth about the animal crossing bridge on the 101. Starbucks probably got rid of their brownie, because it was my favorite treat from there, and anything that I like in this life will be systematically taken away from. (Like TGI Fridays) The two-cookie conundrum. Restaurant workers that don't put utensils in their Doordash orders should literally be dragged to hell. I put up 265, no sweat! The untapped potential of Cyril Rampahosa. You thought “Diddy parties” were rough, wait til you hear about Hussein parties! Deadguy is still bringin it.
Thom Francis welcomes local poet and artist Melissa Anderson, who was the featured reader at the Third Thursday Poetry Night at the Social Justice Center in Albany on Thursday, April 17, 2025. ——— Melissa Anderson is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is deeply influenced by a search for connection with the physical world, changing seasons, and our relationships with the places we call home. She co-runs the slam poetry team Slam Euphoria, as well as their bi-monthly poetry open mic at Cafe Euphoria in Troy. That night she read from her book "Dogstar Poems" (Main St. Rag Publishing, 2024), starting off with a poem from her day job making furniture for Chipotle, “Work Song,” and then a pandemic piece, “Bedroom Window Lockdown.” Melissa explained that “Dogstar” was another name for what is commonly known as “Polaris” or the North Star, & that many of the poems in the book are about looking for direction, as in the poem “Reflexivity.”

Wes Moss and Conner Miller provide historical context and perspective on the latest financial news, including: • The markets staged a dramatic V-shaped recovery following tariff fears. Investors, take note: Volatility can reverse quickly. Once you've chosen a solid strategy, it's often more productive to stay the course rather than letting fear drive decisions. • The S&P 500 dropped nearly 20% in April but rebounded in just six weeks. Panic rarely helps—history shows that recoveries can be swift and sharp. • Tariffs triggered the downturn, but remember: trade makes up a smaller portion of the U.S. economy than one might assume. Try not to overreact to short-term headlines that struggle to reflect long-term fundamentals. • Despite massive sell-offs, 97% of Vanguard investors made no trades. Their commitment to a long-term plan possibly helped them avoid reactionary moves in turbulent markets. • Institutional investors—not individuals—were the primary sellers. Over $27 billion exited U.S. equities in a week, but 72% of that came from institutions, not retail investors. Individual discipline can sometimes work as an effective edge. • Wes's "school of fish" analogy illustrates market chaos. A few hedge funds dart, and the entire market reacts. Rather than being the panicked fish, it can often be productive to swim steadily with long-term conviction. • “30 for 30” rule confirmed again: Historically, 30% of gains occur in the first 30 days after a decline. This recovery was even faster—don't miss out by being on the sidelines. • Happy retirees often win with the help of certain principles, such as: a. Have a clear plan with long-term goals. b. Diversify across asset classes. c. Maintain balance with “dry powder” (safe assets) to ride out volatility. • Bonds are back. With the 10-year U.S. Treasury yielding 4.5%, fixed income might become a meaningful part of your portfolio. Rebalance thoughtfully. • Tariffs are likely here to stay. Even with deals and pauses, a 10% baseline tariff remains in place. Prepare your portfolio for a world where moderate tariffs are the norm. • Real-world example: How tariffs affect prices. A hypothetical 25% tariff on Mexican avocados could raise a Chipotle bowl price by 40 cents. The message: some impact, but not catastrophic. And don't forget that guacamole is delicious. • Inflation remains under control for now. The future is uncertain, but April CPI rose only 2.3% year-over-year, the lowest since early 2021. Gas, groceries, eggs, used cars, and airfare all declined. Stay grounded in the data. • Recession odds have been lowered by Wall Street economists. That's helping push interest rates up, but also reflects growing optimism. Adjust your expectations accordingly. • Global bond markets exceed $100 trillion, more than twice the size of U.S. equities. Understand your fixed income options—it's not just about stocks. • Final takeaway: Individual investors often win by thinking long-term. If you've got 5, 10, or 30 years before needing your money, you've got time on your side. It can be productive to stick with your strategy and stay invested.

Send us a textBehind every successful restaurant lies a story of grit, determination, and unwavering passion. Zach Tolan's journey from teenage dishwasher to celebrated chef-entrepreneur perfectly captures this spirit of culinary perseverance.The founder of Vanilla Rice Hibachi House began his culinary career at just 15 years old, washing dishes alongside his 12-year-old brother for cash under the table. What started as a simple way to earn money transformed into something much more profound when a manager's dismissive words—"dishwashers don't get raises"—lit a fire within young Zach. Those words, now the title of his forthcoming book, became the catalyst for his entrepreneurial journey.As Zach developed his hibachi cooking skills, he discovered something unexpected: his natural talent for entertainment. Working at a traditional hibachi restaurant, he became so popular that he'd receive up to 30 requests per night from guests specifically asking for "that white guy" to cook for them. Yet amidst the onion volcanoes and flaming showmanship, Zach noticed something curious—his friends who visited frequently would eventually say, "Bro, just cook the food. We don't need the show." This insight sparked the innovative concept behind Vanilla Rice: delicious hibachi cuisine without forcing customers to sit with strangers or endure unwanted theatrics.Zach's approach to business challenges reveals his fighter's mentality: "I look at business as a boxing match. Every day I wake up, I'm gonna get swung at. Have I been swung at like this before? Do I know how to counter it?" This resilient perspective, coupled with unique training methods where he teaches cooks from scratch rather than hiring experienced chefs, has propelled Vanilla Rice toward his ultimate goal—building a national brand that stands alongside giants like Chipotle and McDonald's.What began in his mother's backyard has evolved into a thriving multimillion-dollar operation, with expansion plans already underway. As Zach says with confidence, "We've already done the hardest part." Follow @VanillaRiceLV on social media to watch this culinary underdog story continue to unfold.
