Send us Fan MailAfter we wrapped my conversation with Joe DeLoss, we kept talking.What started as a conversation about marriage turned into something much bigger: masculinity, ego, service, leadership, and why so many men seem to be struggling to find their footing right now.Joe shares his perspective on the version of masculinity that's being celebrated online, why he thinks it's missing the mark, and what he's learned through building businesses, navigating marriage, raising daughters, and doing the ongoing work of understanding himself.We talk about strength, vulnerability, accountability, and the difference between chasing trophies and becoming the kind of person your family, community, and relationships can actually count on.It's a short conversation, but one that felt too important to leave on the cutting room floor.If you enjoyed my full conversation with Joe, consider this the bonus chapter. 

Send us Fan MailJoe DeLoss is best known as the founder of Hot Chicken Takeover, one of Columbus's most recognizable restaurant stories. But this conversation is not really about chicken.Joe talks with Keri about the rise of Hot Chicken Takeover, the ego that came with it, the people impacted by his leadership, and the personal reckoning that followed. He is honest about marriage, fatherhood, masculinity, ambition, and the uncomfortable reality that success does not automatically make you whole.Now, Joe lives in Mount Vernon and is building Baker Road, a hospitality and retreat concept rooted in nature, adventure, discomfort, and real human connection. Think less corporate retreat, more walking into the woods and remembering you are still a person.This conversation moves from Columbus entrepreneurship to 100-mile runs, natural burials, leadership, vultures, marriage, and what the next chapter of Joe's work looks like.At its heart, this conversation is about what happens when success forces you to face yourself. Joe's story is a reminder that growth isn't always glamorous. Sometimes, the real work begins after the big win, when you have to decide who you want to become next.

Whether you're a leader feeling isolated, someone longing for deeper community, or just looking for a fresh perspective on personal growth, this episode is all about finding meaning, creating space for change, and, as Joe DeLoss puts it, “hiking to the beginning” again and again.Welcome to the Spirit of EQ podcast! I'm Eric Pennington, your host, and in this episode, I'm joined by Joe DeLoss—an entrepreneur many of you might know from Hot Chicken Takeover, but today he's here to share something entirely new and deeply personal: Baker Road.As Joe DeLoss and I talk, you'll hear how he's moved beyond just building businesses to cultivating a mission-driven community space that reconnects people with themselves and with nature.Baker Road isn't about productivity for its own sake, but about creating restorative spaces where individuals and teams can find clarity, stillness, and genuine connection—something we all need in our fast-paced, achievement-focused world.In this conversation, Joe DeLoss opens up about what drew him to this work—a journey that started with a rite of passage experience for a friend's son and grew into a vision for transformative retreats.We also explore why so many of us feel nature is out of reach, how slowing down can spark huge personal breakthroughs, and why cultivating safe, authentic spaces—especially for men—matters so much right now.Join us for a thoughtful, honest dialogue about what it takes to get back to ourselves and each other.Joe DeLoss is a serial entrepreneur and servant leader focused on building transformational experiences and businesses for the betterment of everyone involved.He's best known for a Midwest restaurant chain he built and exited called Hot Chicken Takeover. The business gave Joe the privilege of leading nearly 1,000 people impacted by adversity, ranging from incarceration to addiction to bouts of homelessness.HCT earned critical acclaim as a break-out brand in the industry and garnered national attention, enabling Joe to encourage and coach countless other entrepreneurs and leaders towards impact. He continues this legacy of HR innovation through a fractional culture practice he co-founded called HRT Systems.Currently, Joe's pulling a new thread of personal and professional development by launching Baker Road, a retreat center andguide-service based in rural Ohio. Baker Road offers venues and experiences for individuals, teams, and leaders to truly retreat, allowing them to re-enter life and business from refreshed vantage points.

It's been a busy few years for Joe DeLoss, to say the least.Since his last appearance, episode 76, on the podcast, he's relocated his family, weathered a global pandemic in one of the most dramatically impacted markets, and led Hot Chicken Takeover through an acquisition process – and it hasn't even been two full years. Starting at the beginning, we lay the foundation of his childhood and volunteerism roots, before jumping back into the 2017 rock-bottom which formed the basis of our earlier conversation. We talk about the divinity behind his unforeseen move away from urban living to an open space where he and his family could expand their lives, the massive decision to give up majority ownership in his business, and the personal growth he's experienced from therapy and meditation.Open and honest as ever, the sense of contentment and self-awareness is palpable in his voice. It's such a breath of fresh air to hear his POV on the mindsets that lead him to low points and the practices which have helped him recover a true, deep sense of peace.To learn more, visit: thegravitypodcast.comResources:Gravity 76: Hot Chicken is Good for the Soul: Business as Spiritual Nourishment with Joe DeLoss #76Website: https://www.joedeloss.comOrder Up: hotchickentakeover.comInstagram: @HotChickenTakeoverRead: The Courage to Be DislikedGravy Stack: gravystack.comGravity is produced by Crate Media.
