‘Having a vocation is like falling in love, and it works out,' says writer, anarchist, and philosopher, Paul Goodman. Ari Weinzweig holds the title of co-founder and CEO at Zingerman's, but he is also an anarchist and philosopher. During this episode, he joins us in conversation to tell his story and share the guiding principles behind his life philosophy and business journey. Tune in to hear him challenge perceptions about anarchism and synergy, positive belief in human beings, and what it means not to think hierarchically about your achievements. Making the distinction between data and culture, Ari unpacks his leadership style and why he believes that building culture is the true work of leadership. Going deeper, we discuss the relationship between belief, company health, and the imperfect art of working with people. We touch on the simple legacy Ari would like to leave behind, how he has managed to go off the grid with his business in order to live his values, and how Ari manages to truly be himself so much so that he is a rebel against expectation. Join us today to hear all this and more. Guest Bio: In 1982, Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw founded Zingerman's Delicatessen in Ann Arbor, Michigan, using a $20,000 bank loan.

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer is on-location in Ann Arbor, her college town of The Univerity of Michigan (#goblue!), with her guest Ari Weinzweig, the radical CEO and co-founding partner of the Zingerman's Community of Businesses, which includes the legendary Zingerman's Delicatessen in Ann Arbor, MI, which opened over 40 years ago, in addition to 13 other businesses (which he has all around the Ann Arbor area), with more than 23 managing partners. Recognized by Inc Magazine as one of “The World's 10 Top CEOs (They Lead in a Totally Unique Way);” by the James Beard Foundation as one of the “Who's Who of Food & Beverage in America,” and the recipient of a Bon Appetit Lifetime Achievement Award — Ari has charted a new path for creating and growing a business. Rather than replicate the original, and now iconic, Zingerman's Delicatessen, Ari and his partner Paul Saginaw made the conscious decision to create very different businesses, with their own managing partners, that would instead replicate the original Zingerman's values, which Ari has continued to expand upon and write about extensively. He is the author of the four-part series Zingerman's Guide to Good Leading, as well as a public speaker and writes a weekly e-newsletter. Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to be radical; Speed Round; Industry News on The New York Times article, "The New Reality for College Dining Halls: Dozens of Dietary Restrictions" by Priya Krishna; and Solo Dining experience at the latest location of NY culinary and cultural icon, Russ & Daughters, in NYC's Hudson Yards neighborhood. ** Check out Shari's new book, CHEFWISE – Life Lessons from Leading Chefs Around the World (Phaidon, Spring 2023), now available at Phaidon.com, Amazon.com and wherever books are sold! #chefwisebook **Photo Courtesy of Ari Weinzweig and Shari Bayer.Listen at Heritage Radio Network; subscribe/rate/review our show at iTunes, Stitcher or Spotify.

Today, the Zingerman's Community of Businesses has grown to 11 businesses and over $75 million in annual revenue.

Context heavily influences our behavior (regular listeners of the show know our “context matters” mantra well!). Sometimes, because of what life throws at us, we have to re-evaluate our options. The best choice isn't always the perfect choice. For instance, in an ideal world, we might be planning a 5 mile run after work. But instead we need to collect our sick child from school early and have to settle for a 2 mile run on the treadmill in the basement, or some dancing in the kitchen while we unload the dishwasher. It's the perfect, imperfect choice, or what our guest, Michelle Segar calls The Joy Choice. Michelle Segar PhD is an award-winning lifestyle coach and sustainable behavior change researcher at the University of Michigan. For nearly three decades, she has pioneered methods to create sustainable healthy behavior change that are being used to boost patient health, employee well-being, and gym membership retention. “My approach to creating sustainable change is fundamentally grounded in changing the people's mindsets.” ~ Michelle Segar PhD In this episode, we are lucky enough to talk to Michelle about her new book, “The Joy Choice: How to Finally Achieve Lasting Changes in Eating and Exercise”. We discuss why Michelle steers away from habits as a way of framing behavior change, the role of the executive function, and of course, how music influences her life.   Topics (3:20) Welcome and speed round questions. (7:31) Why we all need to find The Joy Choice. (14:26) Why do we beat ourselves up about missing exercise and diet goals? (17:35) How our identity can motivate our behavior change. (20:22) The shortcomings of the habit loop. (25:10) The role of the executive function in our decision making. (30:45) To what degree do mindsets, belief systems and branding play? (35:58) How the TRAP and POP models help us with selecting The Joy Choice. (43:36) How Michelle finds joy in music.

Zingerman's Delicatessen in Ann Arbor, Michigan, opened in 1982 as a traditional Jewish deli and food shop that sold great stacked sandwiches and delicious baked goods. Less known is its role in building new business opportunities for others in the area, like ZingTrain and the BakeSchool Corned beef and kugel made the deli a local icon.

Back in January 2016, Pim de Morree and Joost Minnaar quit their corporate jobs after their workplaces were too filled with too much inertia, bureaucracy and a lack of motivation. They started the blog Corporate Rebels and have been travelling the world to visit the most inspiring workplaces.  I’m super excited to finally have Pim on the show as I’m a huge fan of their book, Corporate Rebels. As we know, hospitality doesn’t work in a linear way, so why do so many organise themselves in such a top-down way?

Tune in to this episode of the Alexi Cashen Podcast as Alexi Cashen interviews Ari Weinzweig of Zingerman's Community of Businesses about how he started his business and how he successfully maintained their vision while growing their company.

Happy Thanksgiving 2020. While there are so many crazy things going on in November 2020, there are still MANY things to be thankful for. There will be no guest this week, just you and me, the thing I'm most grateful for at this moment - my listeners. Of course I still have the 5 things that made my life better this week.Lisa's 5 Things: 1. Rachel Maddow, 2. A cadre of good people in the Senate who get less attention than their colleagues, 3. Peking Duck, 4. Watching live conversations on her computer, 5. Zingerman’s pimento cheese spread.

In 1982, Ari Weinzweig, along with his partner Paul Saginaw, founded Zingerman’s Delicatessen with a $20,000 bank loan, a Russian History degree from the University of Michigan, 4 years of experience washing dishes, cooking and managing in restaurant kitchens and chutzpah from his hometown of Chicago.

It attracts good people. It allows us to craft reality instead of just reacting to problems. It forces us to act on and model the reality that there is no safe path.  It forces us to hold ourselves accountable It tells us what we are not going to do  It tells everyone what is int it for them.  It creates positive movement within the organization it helps us keep good people.  The 4 Elements a vision needs to be effective: Inspiring No one will want to join your vision if it's not inspiring. Strategically sound. If it's inspiring but not sounds... it's not a vision; its a fantasy.  Documented It's clearer when it's written down. What gets written down gets done. Documenting the vision makes it real.  Communicated  A great vision that only you know about is not that effective. A great vision needs to be communicated as wildly as possible. On your website, and your daily communication, in your operations manual.

Even then, her exploratory nature and documentation of the results sparked interest online. After blogging and moving on to a food based startup back in the states, her column, “cooking with scraps” drew the attention of a publisher that wanted to expand upon the ideas she was sharing at Food52. Tens of thousands of copies later, She joins mike and McD to talk about community, connections and being open enough to follow her own destiny. By the end of the show, Mike is inviting the whole Hard family to Hawaii to experience culinary culture on the North Shore. Special thinks to Lindsay-Jean.

Gallup says 70% of US employees are disengaged from their work. This causes, what Ari Weinzweig calls an energy crisis in the workplace. Lost innovation, productivity and profits. Not to mention the tolls on the communities. There are companies and organizations working to improve this. they are creating more open and collaborative work environments. They are realizing that treating people with dignity and providing meaningful work can be done while also running a financially solid organization. My hope with this podcast is to inspired leaders to make intentional choices to balance profit and social impact. Welcome to the inspired and intentional podcast, I’m your host, Todd Reed. I would like to thank all those who have reviewed the podcast. Today will be the first part of our series with Matthew Bodary, Zingerman’s Coffee Company Account Manager. This first part is a slight departure from the other episodes in that this is more of a personal story of a young man at the beginning of his career journey. He  is an employee of a Zingerman’s company and not a managing partner like the previous episodes. After recording this episode, I thought I would cut most of this first part and give you a brief synopsis. However, upon further listening I was convinced that I wanted to share his telling and version of the story because it gives insight into him and his view of Zingerman’s more clearly than I could. I also felt a tad like this episode channels a little of Studs Terkel. Here are the questions for this week’s episode: 1. When new employees start working at working at your company, do they believe they’ve stumbled upon something special? 2. Great Food. Great Service. Great Finance. The 3 Bottom Lines of Zingermans. Is the “main focus” of your business this clear to your employees? 3. Do you have an opportunity for your people to grow within your current organization or by creating a new opportunity that supports your current business? I would love to see your answers at one of the many Inspired and Intentional outlets: You can find show notes, the questions, at inspiredandintentional.com/episode10.

Like most success stories, Ari Weinzweig's started over a casual conversation and a beer with his now partner, Paul Saginaw about their dream business. In 1982, those casual conversations began to manifested into what was then, Zingermans Delicatessen. Today, Zingermans is much more than a deli; it is a community of businesses, which consist of the following services: catering, event planning, bakery, baking classes, creamery, mail odering, ZingTrain, restaurant, coffee house, and candy manufacturer. These business combined, do over 35,000,000 in annual sales. I cannot wait to get this interview started.
