Two weeks ago, Sari and I took a vacation - an extended road trip down the East Coast as far as Charleston and then inland back to New York through the Appalachians. On a long driving stretch on the way back, we stopped at a Jersey Mike's just off the highway for some much needed nourishment. As we were waiting to pay, a talkative man, in the height of good humor, was ordering behind us. I don't know if he knew anyone working at the store, but he acted as if he did. He said he'd just got a job after five months searching and he was going to celebrate - by buying two big subs - one for that evening and another to put in the fridge for the next night.

What is business actually for?In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with entrepreneur and author Rick K. Jones to challenge the way most leaders think about profit, growth, and responsibility. After decades building successful companies, Rick now focuses on a bigger question: what does success mean if it doesn't lead to something greater?Rick introduces his concept of “The Business Tithe,” a simple but powerful idea that businesses should give back a portion of their profits to create lasting impact. The conversation explores the tension between capitalism and conscience, why many leaders optimize for profit at the expense of people, and how a shift in mindset can change everything.You'll hear why Rick believes businesses exist to “feed sheep,” how small companies can start giving back immediately, and why the future of leadership depends on moving from success to significance.This is not a theoretical conversation. It is a practical framework for building a business that supports your life, your team, and your community.If you are building a company, leading a team, or thinking about your long-term impact, this episode will challenge how you define winning.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS00:00 – Intro: Profit vs purpose00:45 – Why business exists beyond money01:50 – The problem with modern CEOs and profit-first thinking03:20 – Capitalism, fairness, and where it breaks06:20 – Why leadership is a moral decision08:00 – “Feed your sheep” philosophy explained10:00 – Success vs significance12:00 – How much money is enough?13:20 – The Business Tithe explained (10% giving model)15:50 – Why entrepreneurs struggle to value their work17:10 – Privilege, profit, and responsibility19:00 – Real-world example: Jersey Mike's giving model21:00 – How to start giving (even at $1M revenue)22:00 – Givers vs takers mindset24:20 – What “tithe” actually means27:00 – Does faith matter in business?30:00 – Final thoughts: building a legacy
What does it actually take to make a living as a professional swimmer? Olympic Silver Medalist and NCAA Champion Anna Peplowski joins Social Kick to pull back the curtain on pro swimming finances, her transition out of NCAA competition, and her road to the LA 2028 Olympics. Anna breaks down the exact numbers behind her professional career, including the $3,750 monthly stipend from USA Swimming, the $15,000 athlete donor program, and how she navigates brand deals with companies like Jersey Mike's, Science in Sport, and DripDrop. She also shares how living on $650/month rent in Indiana helps her budget for the future! Beyond the business of the sport, Anna discusses the insane depth of the Women's 200 Freestyle, the mindset shift that keeps her motivated during grueling threshold sets, her borderline-obsessive coffee hobby, and the absolute hardest set she's ever done at IU (40x75s!). Plus, stick around for the Rapid Fire segment where Anna flexes an unbelievable hidden talent: singing every single US President in under 15 seconds. If you want an honest, transparent look at the life of an elite swimmer, you don't want to miss this one.

Send us Fan MailFast food opinions get personal fast, and we lean all the way into it. We start with the big four chains and rank Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, and Arby's based on what actually keeps people coming back: breakfast consistency, app deals, coupons that save your wallet, and whether the food matches the hype. If you care about McDonald's breakfast, Wendy's hit-or-miss streaks, or why Burger King “isn't hitting like it used to,” you'll feel seen.Then we widen the lane into the best fast food burgers conversation. We debate premium picks like Five Guys, talk Wendy's as a reliable burger option, and get into regional fast food legends, including In N Out Burger animal style, Checkers and Rally's, Culver's butter burger, and Whataburger. We also tackle the “are sandwich chains fast food” question, from Jersey Mike's and Subway to Penn Station and the difference between a chain sub and a true local deli sandwich.Nostalgia shows up big with McDonald's play places, Happy Meals, collectible toys, and the nuggets vs burger debate, plus a side quest into pickles that gets surprisingly heated. We finish with modern convenience and how DoorDash changes the whole fast food experience, then close on the only proper finale: milkshakes from McDonald's or Arby's versus a Wendy's Frosty, with a very real reminder that the McDonald's machine may never be working when you need it.Subscribe for more Ride Home Rants, share this with the friend who always orders the same thing, and leave a review with your most controversial fast food take.All music brought to you by former guest of the show SpeedoSubscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREETactical BrotherhoodThe Tactical Brotherhood is a movement to support America.Dubby EnergyFROM GAMERS TO GYM JUNKIES TO ENTREPRENEURS, OUR PRODUCT IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE BETTER.ShankitgolfOur goal here at Shankitgolf is for everyone to have a great time on and off the golf courseSweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso sit down at the Restaurant Leadership Conference to discuss the latest restaurant news, including Starbucks and Little Caesars partnering with ChatGPT, McDonald's upgrading its beverage menu, and Red Lobster bringing back Endless Shrimp. First up is the news of Starbucks and Little Caesars partnering with ChatGPT, which they each plan to use to enhance customers' ordering capabilities. Sam and Alicia discuss whether consumers are wanting this level of AI involvement, and what this suggests about the future of restaurant AI. Next up is McDonald's new beverage menu, which includes Refreshers and crafted sodas, including dirty sodas. How might this impact the broader beverage trend in restaurants? Sam and Alicia break it down. Next is Red Lobster, which announced that it is bringing back its Endless Shrimp promotion. Does that make sense for a company that filed for bankruptcy largely because of that promotion? Sam and Alicia discuss. Then they cover breaking news that Jersey Mike's announced plans to go public. How significant could its IPO be? Finally, we share a conversation between senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn and Noodles & Co. head chef Tina Massey.

Union workers at Alamo Drafthouse in Sloan's Lake are walking out today over frustrations with the company's move to a QR code-based food ordering system, saying it overcomplicates interactions with customers. Contributor Michelle Jackson joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to discuss what it means for a theater chain that built a brand on being aggressively anti-phone. Plus they discuss the latest news in the saga of disgraced Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, what this joke map of RTD's light rail stops says about how we view Denver, and of course, our wins and fails of the week. Bree talked about the new Gems & Minerals Hall coming to the Museum of Nature and Science, the ongoing JBS strike, and Denver City Council's vote for a new contract with Axon. Paul quoted numbers from this Westword report on the local Alamo unions and discussed this statement from the company about the QR ordering change; he also talked about Copper Kettle Brewing's impending closure and Jersey Mike's downhill slide.

A 17-year-old kid took a leap and bought a small sandwich shop for just $125—and turned it into what we now know as Jersey Mike's. This episode isn't just about the story, it's about the mindset behind it. Ownership, vision, and the willingness to act before you feel ready.

From franchisee profitability and operational standards to hospitality, leadership, and long-term thinking, Mike breaks down how Jersey Mike's stayed focused on what mattered instead of chasing every trend or copying the competition.This conversation gets into the real challenges founders and franchise leaders face as they grow: protecting the brand, supporting operators, avoiding costly distractions, and knowing when to evolve without losing what made the business special to begin with. Mike also shares lessons on owner-operators, culture, training, and why strong brands win by staying true to themselves.If you're building a franchise company, leading a growing brand, or trying to scale without losing direction, this episode is packed with practical insight.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[01:51] Mike Manzo's Jersey Mike's journey[04:25] How Jersey Mike's got its name[05:58] Family culture in franchising[06:49] Why hospitality wins[09:14] Surviving the hard years[10:17] Growth pressure and momentum[11:44] Why unit profitability matters[13:38] Brand equity vs quick wins[14:15] Why friendly service matters[18:25] Protecting the brand[20:43] Jersey Mike's non-negotiables[22:55] How Mike vets franchisees[25:02] Multi-unit growth done right[27:15] When the brand took off[29:21] Avoiding complacency[31:55] From part-time to owner[35:09] Paying and keeping great people[36:41] Holding the standard[39:43] The cost of chasing competitors[41:55] The meatball sub lesson[45:09] When founders need to let go[48:10] Hiring C-suite talent[52:54] Fast Five[53:23] Mike's top KPI[53:59] Mike's best advice[55:16] The worst founder advice[57:36] Good vs great franchisees[58:15] What Mike would ban in franchisingKey Takeaways: • “This is hospitality.

This episode kicks off with new gear, mild chaos, and immediate Star Wars rabbit holes before spiraling into one of the most important debates of our time: why sandwiches from places like Jersey Mike's feel impossibly better than anything you make at home. Along the way, the crew dives into Jedi Temple lore, internet nostalgia, fast food psychology, and an extended, completely unhinged run of Chuck Norris jokes that somehow becomes the emotional core of the episode. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.

#123Josh sits down with Matthew Conway and Michael Jacober for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from franchise operations to solo dining trends to the realities of running independent restaurants in today's economic climate. The episode opens with Michael sharing the launch of his first Jersey Mike's franchise in suburban Chicago and what surprised him most about the process. From corporate buildouts and turnkey systems to training support and operational playbooks, they unpack what you're really paying for in a franchise model and why, in some ways, it can feel like cheating compared to building from scratch.The conversation shifts into broader industry trends, including the rise of solo dining, the growth of breakfast reservations, and how consumer behavior is evolving in a post-pandemic world. They debate whether people are dining alone to unplug or simply to simplify, why early dinner reservations feel controversial, and how hospitality translates across full-service, counter-service, and large-format restaurants. Along the way, they explore the risks and rewards of massive, high-revenue restaurant builds, the operational pressure of scaling, and what it actually takes to sustain margins in 2025. The episode closes with reflections on growth, ambition, and what it means to build something repeatable versus something personal.Links and resources

David Thurston didn't set out to build the fastest-growing hair color brand in professional beauty history. But that's exactly what happened. As the founder of Pulp Riot, David created a brand that shook up the salon industry — bold colors, artist-first culture, and a community that felt more like a movement than a product line. Just 23 months after launch, Pulp Riot was acquired by L'Oréal for $150M. The day the deal closed, David was sitting in a Jersey Mike's when a bank notification popped up: $85M had just hit his account. Seven years later, he and his wife Alexis are back building — this time with Danger Jones, a brand that blends hair color, fashion, and film into something entirely different from traditional beauty companies. No corporate playbook. No venture capital. Just creativity, community, and a belief that artists deserve a brand that actually represents them. In this episode, David shares the full story behind Pulp Riot's meteoric rise, what really happens after a life-changing exit, and why he decided to start over — building Danger Jones from scratch across 43 countries.

If you're someone who practices at home — golf, baseball, or really any ball sport — you know how hard it is to find gear that's actually built to take a beating. That's what impressed me about Morelux. They sent over one of their heavy-duty frame and net setups, and the first thing I noticed was the build quality. Their systems use thick steel frames and high-density mesh designed to absorb serious impact — not the flimsy nets that wobble or tear after a few sessions. It's been perfect for our space. Super quick to set up, incredibly sturdy, and honestly just makes practicing way more fun. Make sure to check them our at https://www.morelux.store/

Chris Malleo is a former Northwestern University and professional football player. After retiring from paying, he became head coach at The Peddie School in New Jersey, and led a perennial underachieving team to a #1 national ranking through a system of culture, belief, and standards. While at Peddie, Chris hired an incredible coach named Frankie Kineavy. Frankie was non verbal, and had suffered from cerebral palsy since birth, yet soon Chris, his staff and his players realized that while Frankie was not your typical football coach, he was one of the best leaders any of them had ever met. Chris tells that story in his new book The ChairLeader, a best selling book on leadership, connection, and courage, featuring a foreword by Hall of Fame coach Jay Wright and endorsements from bestselling author Jon Gordon, Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney, and Jersey Mike's Founder and CEO Peter Cancro. In our discussion, John and Chris discuss his journey to becoming a coach, the incredible impact Frankie had on the Peddie program, and the leadership lessons that he retells in his book.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Keith Milner. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs by sharing Keith Milner’s journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship. It emphasizes discipline, leadership, risk-taking, and strategies for building generational wealth, particularly for underrepresented communities. Key Takeaways Foundational Lessons from Childhood Growing up in a disciplined, hardworking family taught Keith accountability, integrity, and the principle of choices and consequences. Education was highly valued in his household, shaping his drive for success. Corporate vs. Entrepreneurial Mindset Corporate careers can feel secure but are often riskier because you lack control over your destiny. Entrepreneurship offers greater control and potential for generational wealth. Leadership and Teamwork Lessons from sports—teamwork, discipline, and leadership—translate directly into business success. Establishing a common goal and coaching employees is crucial, but underperformers must eventually be let go. Risk and Value Many African-Americans view entrepreneurship as risky, but Keith argues it’s less risky than employment in an at-will state. Success depends on creating value that customers are willing to pay for. Franchising Journey Relationships opened doors to Jersey Mike’s franchise ownership.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Keith Milner. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs by sharing Keith Milner’s journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship. It emphasizes discipline, leadership, risk-taking, and strategies for building generational wealth, particularly for underrepresented communities. Key Takeaways Foundational Lessons from Childhood Growing up in a disciplined, hardworking family taught Keith accountability, integrity, and the principle of choices and consequences. Education was highly valued in his household, shaping his drive for success. Corporate vs. Entrepreneurial Mindset Corporate careers can feel secure but are often riskier because you lack control over your destiny. Entrepreneurship offers greater control and potential for generational wealth. Leadership and Teamwork Lessons from sports—teamwork, discipline, and leadership—translate directly into business success. Establishing a common goal and coaching employees is crucial, but underperformers must eventually be let go. Risk and Value Many African-Americans view entrepreneurship as risky, but Keith argues it’s less risky than employment in an at-will state. Success depends on creating value that customers are willing to pay for. Franchising Journey Relationships opened doors to Jersey Mike’s franchise ownership.
