About this listen
In this episode of The Shift, host Luke Nesler sits down with Cody Thrasher, chef and owner of Cody's Restaurant in Bridgeport, WV, for a conversation about creativity, risk-taking, and the relentless work it takes to build something meaningful.
Cody shares the unconventional path that led him into the culinary world, from early kitchen experiences and self-taught cooking to launching a food truck and eventually opening his own restaurant. He explains how curiosity and constant learning shaped his approach to food, including the global influences he discovered through travel and the discipline required to turn a passion into a profession.
This episode explores the mindset behind pursuing a career, the lessons learned from starting a business from the ground up, and how persistence and curiosity can turn an idea into a lasting venture. Whether you're interested in food, entrepreneurship, or carving out your own path, Cody shares insights that apply far beyond the kitchen.
