From Flying Cars to Discipleship: Navigating Faith in the Modern World In this episode of the Divinely Uninspired podcast, the hosts discuss various topics, starting with casual banter about musical favorites and a humorous take on Penny's silent sneeze. They delve into the plans of franchising a famous chicken restaurant, Pollo Campero, and the coming of flying cars and humanoid robots in China, expressing skepticism about their practical implications. The conversation shifts to a serious note, exploring discipleship and evangelism in the 21st century, especially for those outside the church environment. The hosts ponder the challenges of applying ancient discipleship models in today's context and the difference between evangelism and discipleship. They emphasize the importance of living a life that exemplifies Christ's teachings over mere ritualistic practices. The episode wraps up with announcements about upcoming Easter services, including four different options to cater to the congregation's diverse needs. 00:00 Penny's Musical Moment 00:27 Welcome to the Divinely Uninspired Podcast 00:46 Chicken Restaurant Chat 01:12 Sneeze Talk and Funny Songs 02:22 Zoo Adventures and Daylight Savings 03:42 Jeremy's Travel Plans 04:17 Airline Preferences and Experiences 19:02 Generative AI and Future Tech 24:00 Underwater Adventures and Sunfish Fascination 25:26 Doppelgangers: Do They Really Exist? 29:58 Celebrity Lookalikes: Fun with AI Apps 33:01 Teeth in Eyes: A Bizarre Medical Innovation 37:30 Discipleship in the 21st Century 56:33 Easter Service Announcements

Luis Javier “L.J.” acquired 24 years of experience in Guatemala with Pollo Campero prior to helping grow the fast-casual chicken concept in the United States beginning in 2017. His experience and MBA (ESEADE — Escuela Superior de Economía y Administración de Empresas) served him well in his expanding role with the company as director of marketing, CFO, and ultimately today as CEO. In this episode, L.J. explains how he grew the concept in the U.S. to 99 units in California, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington D.C. “Successful growth comes from thinking small,” he says. “We are very customer-focused. We are in the service business after all. Food is simply the vehicle we use to serve.” Pollo Campero stands out in the crowded fast-casual chicken sector with fresh chicken broasted in a blend of Central American spices and served with rice, beans, and Yuca fries. The counter-service concept also offers drive-thru service at many of its units. “Keeping product quality as your number-one priority is most important as you expand,” says L.J. “But growth doesn't work without building a solid team,” he adds, explaining how the company's commitment to staff selection, training, and development helps Pollo Campero overcome labor market challenges. L.J. ensures his headquarters staff are involved in daily operations at the unit level. “The closer you are to your customer, the smarter you become," he says. “Today many restaurant operators grow for the sake of numbers, but we lead with passion and grow from the heart.”

Hey everyone! Today we have a very special episode! Sandra was able to interview Federico Valiente, the Senior Director of Marketing for Pollo Campero while on her family trip to Nashville! Pollo Campero is expanding to Nashville and celebrated their grand opening a few weeks ago. We discuss the prevalence of Pollo Campero in our lives, especially as children of Central Americans. We also discuss the importance and relevance of a Central American buying force as well as other businesses associated with Central Americans in the US. The businesses we mention are mostly located in Los Angeles since we mostly know LA. Huge shout out to Pollo Campero for working with us and for taking the time to talk to us!

Tim has had a massive career in the food business with roles including SVP of Marketing for Pizza Hut, Global New Concept Development Officer at McDonalds, President and COO of Pick Up Stix, President & CEO of Shakey’s, President and Chief Concept Officer of Mimi’s Cafe, and the board of Technomic.

This week, Steve sits down to chat with an old friend in El Salvador— No, we know what you’re thinking, and it’s not a bucket of Pollo Campero (although we’re sure he considered it). It’s newly-titled Director of Coffee at Viva Espresso in San Salvador and superstar World Barista Champion coach, Federico Bolanos! Episode the 45th initially takes us back to the golden age of coffee blogs, books, and forums, when Federico—after hating and dismissing coffee for years—decides to give it another try for a girl (his now wife, Lily Pacas, 2008 Salvadoran Barista Champion; Café Tuxpal), landing him in a long-time love affair with learning everything he can about coffee. From there, Steve and Federico embark on a discussion of WBC, coaching, non-insular teamwork, and a once-unspoken-but-now-not-so-secret frustration with the current competition format before finishing with some interesting thoughts on the benefits of consolidating businesses. Also covered in this episode: the biggest mistake competitors make in preparing for competition, stalking coffee people, WBC trends over the years, why Federico wasn’t to be seen at last year’s WBC, and how bigger is sometimes better.
