Grit: Frank Guidara

Weekly Specials - A podcast by The Welcome Conference

This week, our host Will Guidara, talks with his dad, Frank Guidara, as we wrap up our theme of Grit. Frank has held numerous positions in the hospitality industry, including President of Restaurant Associates, President and CEO of The Wolfgang Puck Food Company, and CEO of both Au Bon Pain and Pizzeria UNO. However, its his personal experiences as a father, husband, and cancer survivor that really bring to light some remarkable stories of Grit. Echoing his speech from the 2017 Welcome Conference, Frank reminds us all that adversity is a terrible thing to waste. The Welcome Conference is going digital and we're hosting a range of content for free over the course of the next few months. Register for free at virtual.welcomeconference.org.
