Matt Schweitzer: The Hopdoddy Origin Story - Burgers, Community and Integrity | MMP #247

On today's episode, Matt Schweitzer -- a fan-favorite guest (from episode 154) and Vice President of Culinary Operations at the esteemed burger establishment Hopdoddy -- re-joined Brett on the pod. This time, Matt dove deep into sharing how he leveraged his business background to turn his burger concept into a chain that's scaling quickly without compromising on ingredient quality. Matt's principles shine through in everything that's done in the business, and so we also dug into how Hopdoddy gives back to the community, Matt's thoughts on company culture, and how to bring out the best in people. Oh, and we also might've gotten a little sneak peek into Hopdoddy's expansion plans as the company gets closer and closer to world domination. So give this episode a listen, both for the behind-the-scenes view of The Meat Mafia's favorite burger chain and to hear timeless tips on navigating business and life while pursuing your passion.Connect with HopdoddyWebsiteInstagramFacebookConnect with MattInstagramConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSCrowdHealth provides an alternative to traditional health insurance by allowing members to crowdsource their medical expenses.Use the code 'MEATMAFIA' to get coverage for $99 for your first 6 months.Paleovalley is on a mission is to help people reclaim vibrant health.
