Ever heard of Wario's Beef & Pork?
Turns out they're doing more than just viral sandwiches right.
Today's lessons in modern leadership brought to you by the local restaurant owner in Columbus, Ohio.
The owner Stephan Madias is a pretty unassuming guy.
You'll find him with a grown out beard and an apron on the website and in videos.
Two lessons in this short clip.
1️⃣
They keep the main thing, the main thing.
This is a staple coined by Stephen Covey, author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Still relevant and necessary in the modern workforce.
For Wario's, the main thing is their sammies with high quality ingredients.
"There's no frills, no nonsense."
"Yes, we make the Caesar dressing in house"
-Stephan Madias, Owner
Because of the commitment to their craft and the product, their sandwiches have gone viral, especially the Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich.
2️⃣
They put their people first resulting in a
✨ 100% retention rate ✨
This is possible
...
in the restaurant industry?
"It was the best decision I've ever made.
We haven't lost or had a single employee quit.
People say it's hard to do, but I just think they are pieces of sh*t."
-Stephan
Stephan is out here winning
by doing right by his people as a local business owner that is approachable and not afraid to get his hands dirty alongside his team.
He's reporting some serious data to back up his decision.
In an industry with an average reported 70-80% churn rate.
Take care of your people.
Happy day after Labor Day to everyone out there
*except*
as Stephan eloquently puts it
the pieces of sh*t putting profit over people.
We do not leave our humanity at the door when clocking in.
Employers and labor are a means to the end of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We are not a cog in your machine.
You are a cog in our individual and collective pursuit of a high agency life well lived.
Soon, there will be more movements and legislation passed to ensure that is the main story for this century.
🖖🏼

Get ready to fire up the grill because it's National BBQ Day! 🍖 What's your favorite style of barbecue? Are you all about the bold flavors of Texas brisket, the mouthwatering pulled pork of the Carolinas, the smoky meats of Memphis, or the saucy goodness of Kansas City? Share your BBQ preferences in the comments below!
This dinner consists of only three ingredients. That's right... THREE! Nothing easier than that 🤗
Skillet Roasted Chicken with Cabbage:
1) Whole Chicken
2) Cabbage
3) Taco Seasoning
- Put the shredded cabbage in large cast iron skillet.
- Drizzle with olive oil and salt.
- Lay the chicken on top.
- Sprinkle a bunch of taco seasoning all over that chicken!
- Roast! It’ll take about an hour, but the best way to check for doneness is to watch for an internal temperature of 165°F.
The answer, of course, depends on how the salmon is prepared... 🐟
From grilled to blackened, we provide recommended pairing options for salmon's common styles here 👉️ enth.to/3zo9O1h
Meet Lisa:
Referred to as the 'Chicken Chick', she earned that nickname because she's known as the BEST in the world in chicken on the competitive BBQ circuit.
But... Lisa's story is so much more than that, here's a quick clip on WHY she's competing in this years most exclusive International BBQ Competition.

(Warning: not work related) Where are the best places to get great meats? I got some advice from the most decorated bbq pit master out there.
Just took a friends trip to southern Georgia to learn for 3 days how to make the best bbq from Myron Mixon. And he shared his tips for the best place to buy various meats (same places he buys meat when he does bbq competitions. (FWIW, from a business perspective, I think it would be a very cool, unique spot/group to do a corporate event at if you can make the trek).
For beef he suggested Snake River Farms. Specifically for their American waygu. https://lnkd.in/gNp7zG2g
For pork he suggested Compart Duroc meats. Side note: they’re the only place that he know who will ship you a whole hog for a pig roast. https://lnkd.in/g6PTWnc7
And for chicken they suggested Smart Chicken. Apparently not available in all parts of the USA and mostly in the west. https://lnkd.in/gx9jTvq8
Eat well everyone!
Anyone have recommendations for great places to get fish products?
