5 Day Restaurant Profitability Challenge

After opening 100+ stores, managing $100M in revenue, and building teams across international brands, Won Jeong realized the real goal isn’t knowing everything—it’s building systems so you don’t have to.

In this episode, we unpack how training becomes a growth engine, not a time suck. Won shares how AI is transforming onboarding from guesswork to guided execution, why memorizing SOPs is a waste of leadership potential, and the real ROI of training that makes your team independent—not dependent.

If you’re ready to stop firefighting and start scaling, this episode is your blueprint.
