What happens when a life built around the restaurant business becomes the foundation for something much greater?

In this episode, Brandon sits down with Jeff Stern — restaurateur, life and business coach, and host of his own podcast The Tables Where We Grew Up — for a conversation that's as nourishing as a great meal shared with family.

Jeff opens up about his entrepreneurial journey, managing multiple restaurant establishments simultaneously in New Jersey, and what it taught him about pressure, independence, and resilience. But the conversation goes much deeper than business. Jeff and Brandon explore the fear of failure that holds so many people back, how loss can become a catalyst for personal growth, and what it truly means to find your purpose on the other side of it all.

They also dig into the power of the dinner table — not just as a place to eat, but as the space where real conversations happen, families connect, and identities are shaped. Jeff's mission to help young adults connect through cooking is a reflection of everything he's lived and learned.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a coach, or simply someone searching for more clarity and purpose, this episode will leave you thinking long after the table has been cleared.
