A rising tide lifts all ships. @ShawnpWalchef’s secret? Build in public. Share your journey, mistakes and all. “We’re looking for other ships…other leaders that are willing to look stupid, sound stupid, do the work.”. It’s not about ego—it’s about authenticity and trust.

Scared to post on TikTok or YouTube?. @ShawnPWalchef says: Drop the ego. Because that 76th view might be the one that changes everything. “Who cares? What if it’s the one person who has 50 restaurants that wants to partner with Craveworthy Brands.”. It’s not about selling

🚨 Great food alone won’t pack the house. @shawnpwalchef, owner of @calibbqmedia, learned the hard way that even the best BBQ in a tough location needs marketing, tech, and community to thrive. “You can have all the social media in the world…but if the BBQ’s not great, none

Some leaders talk. Others show up. 💪. In a recent crossover between the Hospitality Hangout and Room For Seconds, I discussed what it takes to build real culture in the restaurant world. “It’s not enough to fake it. You’ve got to be in it with your team.”. Culture starts with

When @BigChickenShaq joined @CraveworthyUS, fans had one big question:. Is Shaq still involved?. 💯 “He couldn’t be more excited,” says CEO Josh Halpern. Shaq isn’t just a name on the logo—he’s the soul of the brand, and that doesn’t change. 🔥 Fun. Flavor. Culture. That’s what

“Franchisees aren't just partners. They're in the battle with you. 💥. In a recent episode of #RoomForSeconds, I explained why hands-on leadership and operational focus are the foundation of future growth—for both @CraveworthyUS and @BigChickenShaq. 👉 Craveworthy's acquisition
