Kicking off 2026 with a real conversation about food, work, and growth in Las Vegas. Vic and Donnie sit down with Richie Z to talk about his path from emergency services into the food world and how that experience shaped the way he approaches health, business, and influence today.
They get into what healthy eating actually looks like when food is your job, how influencers can support restaurants the right way, and why relationships matter more than numbers. Richie shares his thoughts on mentorship, teamwork, learning through failure, and building something sustainable while still enjoying the process.
