How &pizza's Values Turned Into A Life Philosophy

&pizza Co-founder and CEO Michael Lastoria and Jenna discuss how &pizza's values and culture prioritizing their tribe's personal growth, creativity and wellbeing have been the undercurrent of their success expanding to nearly 30 pizza shops in seven years. We chat about accepting change and pressure as constant forces in our lives and leaning into them, our responsibility to teach ourselves lessons to avoid self inflicted suffering, as well as earning the right to grow by consistently being the best version of ourselves and never compromising our core.We also discuss how the solution to many of our problems - personally, professionally and societally - lies in the courage to have honest conversations with people with the intent of truly listening to and receiving what they are sharing in order to better understand them and ourselves.
