In this episode, Jeff Fenster breaks down one of the most powerful lessons behind the rapid growth of Everbowl: vertical integration. By taking control over more parts of the supply chain, Jeff unlocked massive efficiencies, reduced risk, and fueled brand expansion. Whether you're an entrepreneur, startup founder, or business leader, understanding vertical integration could be the missing key to scaling smarter and faster.
Meet Jeff Fenster, a serial entrepreneur, problem solver, and relationship builder who's scaled multiple businesses by identifying problems worth solving - and assembling the right team to tackle them. Inspired early on by A Shark Never Sleeps, Jeff set out to become a sports agent, only to pivot right after law school and dive into entrepreneurship. His first venture began with a bold move - calling his employer's bluff and walking out to start his own company, only to face a major hiccup when payroll checks were accidentally sent to clients. Through trial, error, and big wins, Jeff has honed his entrepreneurial philosophy: “If you can live in your greatness, success is guaranteed.” That philosophy was put to the test when he dreamed up what would become Everbowl. Despite critics pointing out he wasn't a chef - and that most restaurants fail - Jeff saw the opportunity. Why? Because business owners, not chefs, build successful restaurant brands. From that insight, he coined: “Experience is the most overrated prerequisite to starting a company.” From the lessons of building Everbowl, Jeff launched his latest venture - WeBuild - a company that helps others bring their physical business ideas to life by streamlining construction and buildouts. Jeff also shares insights weekly on his podcast, The Jeff Fenster Show, where he interviews top performers, athletes, entrepreneurs, and creators about what makes them great. In this episode, we talk about: • How Jeff approaches building multiple businesses at once • The role of self-awareness in entrepreneurial success • His 5 core principles for life and business • His latest book, Relationship Capital, which dives into the power of networking, mentorship, and building value through people • Business relationships with names like Neil Patel, Drew Brees, Shaq, and the GoFundMe founders • Why he believes investing in people is the ultimate multiplier • His new venture, WeBuild, and what he's solving next • And the power of storytelling through The Jeff Fenster Show Plus, we get into tacos (of course): Jeff's favorite taco spot: Casero Taqueria His taco order: The al pastor, shrimp, and whatever the weekly special is.

In this powerful episode of the IMPACT SHOW, I sat down with Jeff live, in-studio as he shared his secrets to success and we dove deep into the mindset, processes, and strategies that have helped him achieve extraordinary results in both business and life. Whether you're an entrepreneur, athlete, or simply someone looking for deep personal and business growth, Jeff's journey and lessons are a goldmine. Here are some of the specific things we discussed on today's epic IMPACT SHOW podcast episode: What's the best piece of advice you ever received? Jeff's shares his “5-Step Formula for Success & Legacy.” A few of Jeff's top entrepreneurial lessons, including how he started EVERBOWL and WeBuild. What is “Kaizen” and why is it important in entrepreneurship & success. The Power of “Relationship Capital.” The Mindset of Winners. It is here that Jeff shares his perspective on success and how he stays focused on the process. Using the example of Roger Federer, who won 85% of his matches despite only winning 55% of individual points, Jeff emphasizes that the process is what drives true success. Speaking and podcasting. What does he love about both of them. Jeff talks about the balancing act of Family & Entrepreneurship. Jeff describes “Legacy & Impact” and how he will achieve both. This one will go down for the ages. There is so much wisdom in here that it would typically only be found in an MBA course at a Top-10 B-School. Haha. Jeff's wisdom dispensed proves that success isn't about luck or innate talent. It's about applying a formula that anyone can follow. Whether you're starting a business, growing your career, or working on personal development, his insights on relationships, consistency, and effort will help you create extraordinary results.

Just when we think we understand how to scale a franchise, someone comes along and completely flips the playbook on its head. Enter Jeff Fenster, Founder & CEO of everbowl who looked at the traditional franchise model and said... checks notes... "Nah, I'm just going to build everything myself"? Excuse me? A franchise founder who manufactures their own equipment, runs their own construction company, AND imports their own ingredients? That's exactly what happened at Ever Bowl, and the results are kind of mind-blowing. We're talking 60% lower build-out costs, two-year payback periods, and franchisees actually making money (imagine that!). But here's the real kicker - while everyone's chasing fancy AUVs and store count milestones, Jeff's over here focusing on something revolutionary in franchising: actual profitability. Wild concept, right? In this episode, we dive into how Jeff built this vertically integrated franchise powerhouse, why he thinks AI is about to turn site selection on its head, and what it really takes to hit that elusive 100-unit milestone that only 4% of franchises ever reach. Plus, he shares some brutally honest advice about what you should be asking (but probably aren't) before signing that franchise agreement.

There is no such thing as being too kind. You just need to make sure you're not creating any expectations for your kindness. That is not the true definition of giving or being kind. When you truly give out of kindness of your heart, you can't expect anything in return.

Prepare yourself for a riveting journey as we uncover the triumphs of Drew Brees, not just as a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and MVP, but as a successful franchise mogul. From his first foray into franchising with Jimmy John's during his time at Purdue University, to strategic partnerships with brands such as Walk-Ons Sports Bistro, Smalls Sliders, and even Dunkin Donuts, Brees has undoubtedly carved out a franchise empire. Remarkably, he also has a stake in the health and wellness industry, with a focus on brands like Everbowl and Stretch Zone. Over the course of the episode, we take a closer look at his astute business acumen and generous spirit, which have played a vital role in his franchising success.

Will restaurants need to serve more healthy food in the future? This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast “A Deeper Dive” features RB Executive Editor Lisa Jennings and we spend the entire time talking about the concept of a healthy fast-food restaurant. Lisa and I have had numerous debates over the years about this topic and we thought we'd let you in on some of them. We chat about Ozempic and drugs like it, and whether these medications could ultimately change the restaurant industry by curbing the appetite of a potentially large number of Americans who could end up taking those drugs. We talk about why there hasn't yet been a truly healthy fast-food restaurant, and about the types of chains that are doing something about it, such as Everbowl, Salad & Go and others. And we talk about the success of chains like Cava and Chipotle. We also debate about the restaurant industry's role in the obesity crisis, and whether it has a responsibility to change that. It's a healthy debate on A Deeper Dive this week, so check it out.
It's funny to sit across the Zoom with a man you've known since you were 6 years old.The last time Alex Yeater and I talked face to face, I was 11 years old. We shared the same elementary school, and Alex has been a part of my story DNA for the majority of my life.

Alex is a true entrepreneur – but more than that, he's a man of conviction, of integrity, and someone who is redefining what it looks like to show up in business.I recently heard someone say that in the business world, there's no room for grace.Well, if you believe that too, then tune in to meet Alex Yeater. He wears the power of grace on his sleeve, and when you stand close enough to him, you catch it.Links + Resources from this episode: Visit Alex on LinkedInLearn about EverbowlConnect with Storyhouse FifteenFind Lindsay on LinkedIn STORYHOUSE is a production of Storyhouse Fifteen, a strategic coaching and branding studio that helps small business owners and do-good organizations find the clarity, the story, and the strategy to reach more people and grow their impact.

Jeff Fenster(@fensterjeff), an entrepreneurial dynamo, Fenster firmly believes in the power of enjoyment in building successful ventures. He is intensely committed to nurturing groundbreaking start-ups that showcase both vertical integration and revenue-stimulating innovation, alongside developing highly capable leadership teams to catalyze the growth of thriving brands. As a trailblazer in the quick-serve restaurant industry, Fenster founded Everbowl, a rapidly burgeoning superfood brand rooted in Southern California, back in 2016. Everbowl is now nationally renowned as an ascendant force within the sector, democratizing access to affordable, healthy superfoods for all. With a steadily expanding network of retail outlets in Southern California and Arizona, Fenster is the driving force behind Everbowl's extraordinary growth, with ambitions to proliferate the brand on a nationwide scale via both retail and superfood-infused Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) products. Jeff recently launched his new podcast show called The Jeff Fenster Show, where he interviews the most successful athletes, entrepreneurs, and celebrities, like Drew Brees, Dan Fleshman, and David Meltzer, to decode and reverse engineer their success formulas. In today's mashup, we feature clips from Jeff with Tim Gover, Drew Brees, and our own Travis Chappell: Create your own balance; don't find it; instead of seeking perfect balance, focus on purposefully tilting your priorities when needed. Be comfortable being out of balance for periods of time. Do your best, don't just try your best; giving maximum effort is more important than just trying. Don't leave yourself an excuse in case you come up short. Learn every job and skill you can, experiencing diverse roles, even less desirable ones, to develop well-rounded skills and traits. All contribute to becoming the professional you strive to be Build relationships, not transactions; the importance of building long-term, value-driven relationships with customers rather than focusing solely on one-time transactions. This allows for recurring business and referrals. Identify problems, then creatively solve them. Instead of accepting problems at face value, take time to re-evaluate the root of the issue and determine if there is an unconventional solution. Fenster did this by building a construction company to solve the high restaurant build-out costs. Everyone is in sales; no matter your role, you have to "sell" yourself, your ideas, and your value. Developing sales skills allows you to generate revenue. If you want to learn directly from elite performers like Drew Brees, Tim Grover, and Jeff Fenster, be sure to check out this episode featuring clips from Jeff's new show. You'll get insights on sales, balance, problem-solving, putting in maximum effort, and continually developing your skills.

Scaling two brands simultaneously, Derek's vision is to grow an empire, and no one can stop him! “Burn was the scariest decision I've ever made because it was the first time I invested in someone other than myself.

Jeff Fenster is the founder of a restaurant chain (Everbowl), a payroll and HR company (CanopyHR), a digital marketing agency, and a construction company (WeBuild). Whatever venture Jeff pursues, he lives by the principle of putting people first. He was named a Top 100 Entrepreneur in America, a Top 40 Executive under 40 by the Business Journal, and a Top Entrepreneur to Follow for 2022.In this episode, Jeff discusses the concept of vertical integration and its significance in his business ventures. Jeff acknowledges that although he didn't have prior knowledge of the restaurant industry, he recognized the need for vertical integration as he planned to open numerous stores for his brand, Ever Bowl. By identifying the high costs associated with restaurants due to one-off construction services, Jeff decided to start his own construction company, not with the intention of making a profit but to save money on building Ever Bowl locations. This move eventually led to the establishment of Webuild, which not only benefited Ever Bowl but also expanded to build other brick-and-mortar businesses in collaboration with well-known personalities.Jeff emphasizes the importance of solving problems within his main business rather than being distracted by unrelated ventures. He explains that vertical integration provides control, optionality, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. For instance, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Jeff's vertically integrated supply chain allowed him to navigate through the crisis by importing his own superfoods and quickly launching a direct-to-consumer product called Later Bowls.
