Bob and Jen Bevan are a married couple from Cleveland, Tennessee — 29 years in, two kids, three grandchildren, and owners of Witt's Frozen Custard. What they didn't expect was that the path to real connection would run straight through the Core Emotion Wheel. In this episode, Bob and Jen share what it was like to enter Connection Codes from very different starting points — Jen as a certified coach, Bob as a self-described "highly recovering codependent" — and what happened when they finally had language for what was breaking them apart. From Jen's raw confession that shame felt like a knife telling her she couldn't exist, to Bob's discovery that he hadn't been able to access "lonely" for decades, this episode is for every couple who wanted to love each other better but didn't know how.Key topics covered:Why one partner going first in Connection Codes doesn't have to mean the other gets left behindWhat codependency does to your ability to feel your own emotionsShame as a barrier to coming out of hiding — especially in church cultureThe difference between drowning in emotion and processing itBob's story of doing the Core Emotion Wheel with his son after a major fight — for the very first timeGlenn's "relationships require depth, not time" reframeJen's breakthrough: "To feel is to connect — with people, and with God"Guest bio:Bob and Jen Bevan are based in Cleveland, Tennessee, where they run Witt's Frozen Custard and stay deeply embedded in church community. Bob brings 25 years of pastoral experience and a psychology degree; Jen is a Connection Codes certified coach. Together, they're proof that the tools work — even when you come in from two totally different directions.Resources & CTAs:

Chris has gotten a chance to see what exactly makes the brand tick as he regularly works the line at Freddy's restaurants, a practice that has helped him streamline kitchen workflows and redesign operations. Chris joined the podcast to talk about some of the lessons he's picked up from the frontlines and about why the pendulum is swinging back from the off-premises boom of the pandemic.In this conversation, you'll find out why:Human beings are a brand differentiatorYour innovation should be crafted around what your guest gives you credit forRestaurant executives must understand how their product moves through their operationManaging your labor down to squeeze margin out of the business is a losing propositionHave feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

A new pizza joint is coming to NuLu and a new place for steak burgers is coming to the South End. We talk about both — and more — on this week's Access Louisville podcast. We start out around Dixie Highway. Reporter Michael L. Jones recently covered a press conference from Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg. During the Feb. 10 conference, the mayor announced the first four restaurants to receive grants from the city's $1 million Dixie Highway Corridor Fund:LongHorn Steakhouse will open a full-service restaurant at 7401 Dixie Highway;Crumbl Cookies, one of the nation's fastest-growing dessert chains, will open its first South End store at 10970 Dixie Highway;Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers will build a new restaurant at 8700 Dixie Hwy; andDerby City Pizza will expand its location at 12900 Dixie Hwy to include an event space and outdoor game yard.We also chat about the first Southern Indiana chef to be considered by the James Beard Foundation.

She met with him at the Downtown Jeffersonville restaurant recently to talk about the honor.We also chat about Greenside Pizzeria, a new spot from the owner of Gravely Brewing, coming to NuLu. And editor-in-Chief Shea Van Hoy  tells us about a couple of chain restaurant moves — the closure of Bravo near Oxmoor Center and the opening of a new Skyline Chili in Springhurst. After that we chat about the return of soul food restaurant Daddy Vic's, which is back in a new location after it's original space was damaged in a severe thunderstorm last year.Following a break we talk about the retirement of longtime Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore. Moore was a guest on Access Louisville just last summer and gave us updates on a number of projects in Jeffersonville, which is the second largest city in the Louisville Metro Area.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Manna Soup Kitchen has expanded its mission to address housing insecurity in La Plata County. The organization recently received a donated residential property with four units where tenants pay no more than 30% of their income in rent.Built in the late 1800s, the home has already seen improvements including driveway replacement, roof repairs, and radon mitigation. This year, Manna plans to remodel two units and replace exterior siding. Manna welcomes donations of building supplies, services, and financial gifts to expand the program.

What if the real reward in restaurants isn't the exit, but the impact?Scott Redler didn't just co-found Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, he scaled it to 400+ units without losing his soul.In this episode, we get into the mindset shifts that made that possible: from hiring like your business depends on it (because it does), to giving GMs ownership in everything but name. Scott shares how he built a culture of transparency and accountability, why the “no-jerk rule” matters more than a resume, and how he chose franchisees who shared his values, not just his ambitions.For operators who care about building something bigger than themselves, this is a masterclass in scaling with intention, and not ego.To learn more about Mocha's Coffee & Eatery, visit mokasusa.com_________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Labor costs are squeezing restaurant owners harder than ever but some restaurants are quietly winning. In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, Roger Beaudoin sits down with Lawrence from Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard to break down the thinking behind low-labor, high-margin restaurant models. This conversation isn't about copying a walk-up counter concept, it's about understanding the fundamentals that drive profitability, efficiency, and longevity in today's restaurant economy. We talk about why simpler operations often outperform complex ones, how smarter labor decisions protect margins, and why long-lasting restaurant brands stay deeply connected to their communities. Whether you run full service, fast casual, or multiple locations, the insights in this episode will challenge how you think about staffing, systems, and sustainable growth. If you're tired of working harder while margins keep shrinking, this episode will help you rethink what actually drives restaurant success. Learn more about Restaurant Rockstars and the Academy:

This episode features Jason Ingermanson, President and CEO of JRI Hospitality. Based in Salina, Kansas, Ingermanson oversees a diverse multi-concept portfolio that includes Mokas Coffee & Eatery, Chompie's, and a massive franchise footprint as one of the nation's largest Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers operators. The conversation explores Ingermanson's journey from his early days at Burger King to managing high-growth brands across multiple states, emphasizing his philosophy of developing people, leveraging data for site selection, and maintaining a competitive edge through personal discipline and organizational alignment.10 Takeaways Diverse Portfolio: Ingermanson manages a multi-concept operation through JRI Hospitality, including Freddy's, Mokas Coffee & Eatery, Chompie's, and the Salina Country Club. Humble Beginnings: His hospitality career began with a formative job at Burger King at age 18, which taught him the impact of a fast-paced environment. The "Dream" Philosophy: He views his role as a tool to help employees achieve their own dreams, even if those dreams eventually lead them away from his company. Strategic Growth: JRI Hospitality focuses on "concentric" expansion, starting in Kansas and moving into neighboring states like Oklahoma and Arizona. Data-Driven Decisions: He avoids high-cost markets like California in favor of areas with favorable demographics and political climates, such as the Midwest and South. Information Management: A self-described "fast metabolizer" of information, he consumes podcasts and books specifically to solve immediate organizational needs. Personal Discipline: He maintains an intense routine, starting at 5 a.m. and consuming a high volume of coffee—up to a gallon a day. Power of Retention: He emphasizes that retaining existing employees is more critical and cost-effective than constant recruiting. Cultural Alignment: He focuses on aligning high-value performance indicators with the organization's overall mission to ensure consistent success. Market Awareness: He monitors industry volatility, including the impact of tariffs, commodity prices, and AI on the hospitality landscape.
