Could a pandemic business-plan lesson for a bored kid spark the next breakout fast-casual brand?This episode moves fast — because Rob Gresham's career has never slowed down. Chris Ressa sits with the restaurant veteran who went from washing dishes at 15 to helping architect the early operational engine behind CAVA's meteoric growth from zero to 80 stores.Rob shares the wild ride: running a steakhouse kitchen as a teenager, getting recruited by Chipotle to fix troubled locations, learning the business side under industry giants, and joining CAVA before it was a household name — building systems, opening markets, and helping scale a brand that eventually went public.Then the pandemic hit. Consulting work vanished. His son was bored. So Rob turned a homeschool project into something much bigger: a business plan for a scratch-made, allergen-conscious chicken concept. When it came time to name it, Rob's son delivered the winner: Isaac's — inspired by Isaac Newton, who invented calculus and discovered gravity while quarantined during the plague. “He changed the world in quarantine,” his son said. “You created a restaurant. Name it Isaac's.”Today, Isaac's Poultry Market has two booming locations, a cult following, and the DNA of a future fast-casual standout. Rob's story is momentum, grit, and timing — the kind Retail Retold was made for.What You'll Hear:How Rob went from washing dishes at 15 to helping scale CAVA into an 80-unit national powerhouseThe pivotal career moves — and mentors — that shaped his operator mindsetWhy he left CAVA at its peak and walked straight into entrepreneurshipThe pandemic moment that sparked Isaac's Poultry Market (and how his son named it)What it really takes to open a restaurant during supply-chain chaos and skyrocketing construction costsHow Rob chose his first two locations — and the real-world negotiation battles behind themWhy exclusives matter, how fast-casual operators think about competition, and the markets he's targeting nextThe scratch-made, allergen-friendly philosophy behind Isaac's menuAnd the big question: Is Isaac's positioned to become the next major fast-casual brand?Chapters00:00 — From Dish Pit to DriveHow a 15-year-old dishwasher discovered his path — and his ambition — in the restaurant world.02:00 — Learning the Business Beyond the KitchenThe mentors and moments that pushed Rob from chef to full-scale operator.04:45 — Chipotle, CAVA, and Fixing What's BrokenRob's early role in stabilizing stores and helping build CAVA's operational backbone from day zero.06:30 — Building a Rocketship BrandCross-country construction sprints, tiny founding teams, and opening stores at breakneck speed.09:00 — The Decision to Walk AwayWhy Rob left CAVA at its peak and refused to transition into an office role.13:00 — Pandemic Curveball → Entrepreneurial BreakthroughHow a business-plan lesson with his son turned into the foundation for Isaac's Poultry Market.14:00 — Naming Isaac's: A Quarantine Stroke of GeniusThe Isaac Newton inspiration that became a bold, meaningful brand name.17:00 — Building Location #1 in a Broken Supply ChainConstruction chaos, blown budgets, and the reality of opening a restaurant during COVID.22:00 — The Battle for Location #2Inside the seven-month negotiation to secure exclusives and protect the emerging brand.29:00 — The Future of Isaac's Poultry MarketHow Rob is approaching growth, second-gen spaces, and...

Parenting in the digital age can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. For this episode, Emily brings in the insight of Ash Brandin for a thoughtful conversation about her book, Power On, and what healthy screen use can actually look like for families. With over 15 years of hands-on experience teaching in the classroom, Ash shares a perspective that moves away from fear and guilt, encouraging parents to think about screens with the same balance and neutrality we often bring to food or other everyday choices.By the end, you'll hopefully have a more compassionate lens for thinking about tech and some practical, flexible ideas for creating a calm, balanced approach to screen time that truly fits with your own family's life.Listen and Learn: How viewing kids' screen time with moral neutrality can help parents move past guilt and fear to understand the real purposes screens serve and the deeper systemic issues driving our reliance on themWhy the old “two-hour screen limit” is outdated and oversimplified, and how a personalized family media plan can lead to healthier, more sustainable screen useReframing of screen time and how systemic factors make it unfair to place all the blame or responsibility on individual parents, and why true change requires collective, not individual, solutionsHow self-determination theory explains kids' relationships with screens, not as addiction but as a way to meet core needs for autonomy, competence, and connection, and how parents can stay neutral, understand what needs are being met, and help kids find healthy, varied ways to fulfill themWhy not everything that releases dopamine is addictive, how our relationship to an activity matters more than the activity itself, and why screens aren't “evil dopamine machines”Resources: Power on: Managing Screen Time to Benefit the Whole Family https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780306836992Ash's Website https://www.thegamereducator.com/Connect with Ashon Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/thegamereducatorhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ash-brandin025For More on Ash's Work, Subscribe to their Substack https://thegamereducator.substack.com/ About Ash BrandinAsh Brandin, EdS, known online as TheGamerEducator, empowers families to make screen time sustainable, manageable, and beneficial for the whole family.

You know how I always say that restriction doesn't work for weight loss? Well, it turns out it doesn't work for money either. Germaine and I jam on all the sneaky money traps we fall into as women and moms --- and how we can finally free ourselves from them. I sat down with my friend Germaine Foley, a total money queen who teaches women how to build wealth without restriction, deprivation, or overwhelm.

She shares how she built wealth without giving up lattes, vacations, or joy (yes, please!). Her approach --- the Do Both Method --- is all about building wealth and enjoying life at the same time.Here's what we dive into:The invisible bars that keep us stuck in money cagesWhy "just make more money" isn't actually the solutionHow crash diets and strict budgets are basically the same trapThe mindset shift to do both --- live now and build for laterHow to align your spending with what actually matters to youMy favorite takeaway: money needs attention, but not obsession (like a good partner!)Germaine's 3-account system that makes managing money simple and funHow to stop ignoring your finances --- and start feeling empowered by themWhy spending on yourself isn't selfish --- it's smart, powerful, and necessaryI seriously got so fired up during this convo because the parallels between money and weight loss are wild.

Blending a family isn't just about making schedules work or learning each other's habits. It's about entering into an already-formed culture — one that existed before you. For the stepparent, that often means grieving what you imagined family life would look like, while choosing to restrain yourself from immediately reshaping the environment into “yours.”In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton talk candidly about:Why grief is a normal and healthy part of the step-parenting journeyThe tension between honoring the existing family culture and slowly helping build a new oneThe unspoken expectations that every stepparent carries — and what to do with themWhy building a new “normal” takes years (Ron Deal says seven, and it often feels true!)Encouragement for couples to stay connected in the long process of blendingIf you're in the thick of a blended family dynamic, you are not crazy and you are not alone. Healing, belonging, and love can grow in the middle of the mess — but it takes time, patience, and a lot of grace.PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?

This week, I'm sharing the exact process I used to work through my own "petty pity party" and how you can use these same tools when you're feeling stuck.What You'll Learn:Why naming your emotions out loud is so powerful (and why "hormonal" totally counts as a feeling)The three-step process to move from stuck to unstuck: Name it, dump it, decide about itHow to validate your feelings without staying trapped in themWhy gratitude works better AFTER you've processed the hard stuffThe difference between seeking comfort and actually feeling betterKey Takeaways:You're allowed to feel irritated, worried, and even petty - you're humanSeparating yourself from your feelings ("I feel mad" vs "I am mad") creates space for choiceSome feelings deserve your energy; others don't serve youHaving a process gives you power over your emotional stateThe Bottom Line: You don't have to stay stuck in negative emotions, but you also don't have to judge yourself for having them. Sometimes the fastest way out is straight through - with intention.Let's ConnectNeed more support?

We've all had bad bosses.We might have even been one. At the very least, we've probably let people down who counted on us.We all carry burdens from our past that show up in how we lead. And we're all confronting systems that foster toxic workplace cultures where overwork and blurred boundaries are the norm, spaces that don't feel safe or generative, and where there is little to no accountability.The question we face is simple, but urgent: How do we want to lead?Our leadership can reinforce toxic systems and norms. Or we can learn to recognize our own burdens and do the work to become more aware, adaptable, and flexible. We can create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued, even when systems feel unstable or unfair.Because leading is about deciding, in every moment, whether we respond from our burdens or from our values. And my guest today helps us reflect on those choices and decide how we want to lead through her own lived experiences with bad bosses. Mita Mallick is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author who is on a mission to fix what's broken in our workplaces.

Money promises safety but can't deliver peace. In this episode, discover how Jesus reframes provision, why daily trust matters, and how identity-level recalibration anchors lasting rest.Why does money never feel like enough — even when the numbers add up?This week on The Recalibration, we've explored money, scarcity, and trust through the lens of identity. Today, we end where all provision begins: with Jesus Christ.From the feeding of thousands with loaves and fish, to turning water into wine, to manna in the wilderness, Scripture shows us that God provides — not in stockpiles, but in daily trust. And in the Lord's Prayer, Jesus anchors us again: “Give us this day our daily bread.”If you've listened all week, you know the stories: entrepreneurs, philanthropists, faith giants, even modern financial experts. Each one revealed the same truth: money may buy relief, but it cannot bring lasting peace.And that's because provision is never just about resources. It's about alignment. Through the lens of ILR, provision isn't ultimately financial — it's about identity, belonging, and redemption. Anchored vertically in Christ, the nervous system can finally rest, freed not just from personal fear but even from inherited scarcity patterns that echo through generations.In this episode, you'll discover:Why money can't secure peace or belongingHow miracles of Jesus reframe provision as presence, not stockpilesHow epigenetics shows inherited scarcity patterns — and how recalibration breaks themWhy daily trust is the pathway to freedom from fearHow ILR is the tool that makes every other tool effective, including financial strategiesToday's Micro Recalibration:“If I believed Jesus was enough — not just for my needs, but for my wholeness — how would my life look different today?”If you've been carrying the weight of money fear, hear this: you don't have to carry it alone. Jesus isn't just the One who gives provision — He is the provision. And when identity is anchored in Him, peace becomes possible.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Amy Bradley Yellow Interview — Jack Fox analyzes Alister Douglas's statements in an interview featured by True Crime This Week. Known as “Yellow” in the Amy Bradley is Missing Netflix documentary, Alister was one of the last people known to have spoken with Amy before she disappeared from the cruise ship in 1998.In this episode, Jack applies Statement Investigation to explore what Alister's language reveals — and what it may conceal.Alister recalls the night he met Amy with remarkable clarity. He speaks about the rules he had to follow as a crew member from Grenada, his role on the ship, and the constraints of cruise staff culture. But does his version of events align with the available photographs, sightings, and wider theories surrounding her disappearance?This episode explores:What it means when someone talks about rules — without saying whether they followed themWhy “clear memory” can raise as many questions as it answersThe importance of context in analyzing statements linked to unsolved casesAmy Bradley hasn't been found. Her case continues to provoke theories, suspicions, and heartbreak. This Statement Investigation aims not to judge, but to listen — with precision.► Credit to True Crime This Week for the interviewWant more from Never A Truer Word?

You know how to lead, perform, and push through. But when rest feels like pressure instead of peace, it's time to explore the deeper reason: misalignment.You've optimized your schedule. Your systems. Your strategy. But somehow — rest still feels like another box to check.In this episode of The Recalibration, we name a quiet but costly reality:For high-capacity humans, rest often feels like performance.Julie shares her personal journey — from anxiety-filled naps and productivity-driven walks to a pivotal identity shift that changed how she views rest. You'll also hear how LeBron James' approach to recovery models a recalibrated form of leadership: strategic, sustained, and rooted in restoration.You'll walk away understanding:Why rest doesn't feel safe — and the neuroscience behind your body's resistance to stillnessHow performance patterns follow you into recovery — and how to interrupt themWhy strong self-leadership in business doesn't always translate to inner peaceWhat it really means to rest from alignment, not exhaustionWhy trying to “recover right” keeps you stuck in misalignmentWhat makes rest a root-level identity shift — not a temporary fixThis episode offers permission — and a pathway.If you've been leading well externally but feel hollow inside… If even your recovery feels like another performance metric… You're not alone.
