Chef Jamie Lynch still cooks. It was his skill in the kitchen that allowed him to open his first restaurant. But that’s not how he scaled to five restaurants across two states. At some point we no longer work in a restaurant, we work in the restaurant business. In our conversation today, we chart his transition from an esteemed chef to an acclaimed restaurateur.

Ken Grossman is a craft brewing pioneer. In the late 1970’s, he, along with about half a dozen other brewers, started the first craft breweries in the US. Over 40 years later, the other guys are no longer in business and Ken’s company is worth over one billion dollars. Today, we discuss what it took to survive in those early days and the critical decisions he made that paved the way for him to become the king of craft brewing.
