    EP 2: Managers and Leaders
    Aug 25 2025

    In this episode, we dive into the key differences between managing and leading in the restaurant industry. While both roles are essential, we emphasize how leadership and management are not the same—and why understanding that distinction matters. We share personal experiences and examples that highlight how great leadership can elevate team culture, drive performance, and create long-term impact. Whether you're new to the game or running the show, this episode is a must for anyone looking to grow in the industry.

    EP 1: Who is Jorge?
    Aug 13 2025

    In our very first episode, we kick things off by introducing Jorge — his journey, background, and what led him to where he is today. It’s a casual, behind-the-scenes conversation as we explore how this podcast came to be, brainstorm potential names, and reflect on the experiences that shaped us. No heavy topics here — just a laid-back intro to who we are and what you can expect from The Next Shift.
