  • From one operator to another

    I really enjoy Tyrell’s podcast. As someone in the day-to-day of running a pizza shop, I can relate to so much of what he talks about. His perspective on team building, profitability, and the realities of this industry really stands out. You can tell he genuinely wants to help operators succeed, and that comes through in every episode. Definitely worth listening.

  • Solid Pizza Pod

    Been following this show for a while and just listened to a quick listen on Bonus Takeout Tips and this really hit with me especially now that my college kids went back and I have training this week. Very good information, no fluff and exactly what I needed. Keep up the good work! Thanks Tyrell!
