What if the biggest competitive advantage in your business isn't your technology...

It's your people.

In this episode of ChatGTM, Michael Beck and Chad Horn sit down with Jazmine Charles, Head of People & Partnerships at Disrupt Foods, for a conversation about leadership, culture, AI, and why the best restaurant organizations invest in people before they invest in anything else.

After spending more than 15 years leading sales for Fortune 100 companies, Jazmine now helps shape the culture behind one of the fastest-growing multi-brand restaurant organizations. Her philosophy is simple: build great people, and great businesses follow.

Together they explore why "People Operations" is replacing traditional HR, how AI can empower leaders instead of replacing them, and why every operator should think differently about hiring, onboarding, retention, and leadership.

If you're a restaurant operator, franchisee, hospitality executive, HR leader, or anyone responsible for building high-performing teams, this conversation is packed with practical ideas you can put to work immediately.

• Using AI to make better operational decisions
