In the Season 1 finale of 8ighty 6ix, we reflect on the growth, conversations, and journey that built this podcast from the ground up.
From discussions about the restaurant industry, kitchen culture, chef life, leadership, and hospitality, Season 1 became more than just a podcast—it became a real space for honest conversations about the food industry.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The start of 8ighty 6ix
- Personal and professional growth throughout the season
- Lessons learned from the conversations and guests
- The vision moving forward into Season 2
- Why we’re taking a short hiatus before returning bigger and better
This season was built for everyone who’s lived the grind of chef life and understands the reality behind hospitality.
Season 1 may be ending… but this is only the beginning.
