From Going Vegan to Restaurant Ownership | Richard Glenn’s Journey
What makes someone completely change the way they eat—and eventually turn that journey into something bigger? 🌱👨🏾🍳
In this episode of 8ighty 6ix, I sit down with Richard Glenn to talk about his journey through veganism, the restaurant industry, entrepreneurship, and the experiences that shaped the direction of his career.
Richard breaks down what made him become vegan, how that decision changed his relationship with food, and how he eventually found his way into the restaurant business.
But this conversation goes beyond food.
Richard and I also go back to our time working together, so we get into some of the experiences we shared, what the industry looked like for us at that point in our careers, and how much both of our paths have evolved since then.
We get into:
What pushed Richard to become vegan
How veganism changed the way he viewed food
His journey into the restaurant business
The realities of restaurant ownership and entrepreneurship
How Richard and I originally crossed paths
Stories from our time working together
Career growth and finding your own lane
Betting on yourself in the hospitality industry
How your relationship with food can evolve over time
Building something that represents who you are
Sometimes your career doesn’t follow the path you originally imagined. One decision, one opportunity, or even changing the way you live can completely shift where you end up.
That’s what makes Richard’s story worth hearing.
