Wing Lam and his brothers Mingo and Ed are the Chinese-Brazilian-American trio behind the legendary restaurant chain Wahoo's Fish Taco, a household name in Southern California and in the action sports industry. I talk to Wing about his childhood, early years, and how he's adapting to a changing landscape in the restaurant industry.

In this episode, Paul speaks with Ed Lee, one of the owners of Wahoo's Fish Taco's, and they discuss not needing a college degree, the benefit of having a mentor, and how Ed and his brother Wing were able to scale Wahoo's to 60 locations over the course of 31 years.

In this episode, Vice Provost Michael Dennin has a conversation with Ed Lee, co-owner of Wahoo’s Fish Taco, about post-college career opportunities, the realities of the restaurant industry, and how his love of surfing shaped his life philosophy.

Drawing on the flavors of as disparate of places as China, Brazil, Mexico and Hawaii, Wahoo's Fish Taco's not only performs a bit of culinary alchemy, but also manages to produce some truly health-boosting dishes that its core of young athlete customers crave.

The hilarious Eliza Skinner (Cool Playlist, The Late Late Show) joins the 'boys to talk about Virginia eats, her experience as a radio DJ, and her latest visit to Wahoo's Fish Taco. Plus, an exchanging of ghost stories and a hops-focused edition of Strange Brewdogs.

2018 VANS US Open of Surfing and Surfing Walk of Fame: Alan is broadcasting from Huntington Beach, California for the 25th Anniversary of the Surfing Walk of Fame and 2018 Vans US Open of Surfing. We hear from industry icons who shaped surf culture from the beach to the boardroom. First in the hot seat is Bob McKnight, Co-founder of Quiksilver. After acquiring the Quiksilver license in 1976, Bob began selling boardshorts out of the back of his Volkswagen van to local shops along the west coast. As surf culture exploded in America, Quiksilver began making waves in mainstream fashion and is now one of the leading surfwear companies in the world. Bob offers advice on raising capital and taking calculated risks. Then, we turn our attention to a fashion brand synonymous with action sports, Vans! How did Vans go from a small family business to the largest single action sports brand in the world projected to make over $3.5-billion in annual revenue in 2018? "We are always trying to think young, feel young, and be young," says Vans Vice President of Events and Promotions, Steve Van Doren. Learn how focused product offerings and smart brand extensions paved the way to the heart of the youth market. Next, when Fernando Aguerre founded Reef Footwear with his brother in 1984, there wasn’t a business plan in sight. As the company rapidly expanded and new hires came flooding in, a clear company vision was needed to unite the Reef family. Fernando walks us through the challenges and rewards of cultivating a colorful corporate culture. Wrapping up the event, we chat with Wing Lam, Co-Founder and Partner of Wahoo's Fish Taco, a favorite eatery for beach-goers wanting a fresh menu and fast-casual atmosphere. By partnering with elite athletes and brands, Wing built a culinary empire. Wing shares how you can make a splash in your industry with the power of social media influencers.

Wing Lam and his brothers have helped fuel the action sports lifestyle. Together, they founded Wahoo's Fish Taco and now have more than 70 locations serving up tasty grinds they encountered from surf trips south of the border. I caught up with Wing just as they were getting ready to launch their 30th year anniversary to discuss career and leadership insights he's picked up along the way in creating a successful fast-casual dining empire. We discussed some of the brands, events and also how philanthropy played key roles in his success. SPONSORED BY HDXMIX.COM
