In today's episode we talk about:  Freshly baked bread… with a slab of butter… while really high… is the greatest thing ever - and essentially why Beacon Doughnuts exists. How college is NOT the only option and path to success. (We have a combined debt well over $100k and neither of us needed any of it to get to what we’re doing today.) Why you shouldn’t go to culinary school for career reasons. Why “don’t worry about it” (a line fed to high school students and their parents thinking about taking out student loans) should be considered a crime. What it’s like learning on the job, in the real world, compared to what you learn in the classroom + learning the value of hard work through experience and having no other option. Saying fuck the food industry! ...only to have me proposition him with starting a donut shop a year after leaving that world. Scrapping together operation “Back Alley” donuts (starting a biz from the ground up is wayyy less glamorous than it seems.) The importance of not being afraid to figure things out and being resourceful when starting a business. Oh, and BE PATIENT - worthwhile shit takes time to come to fruition.  - Guest info: IG: @beacondoughnuts www.beacondoughnuts.com -  Why the World Needs You Facebook group Ben’s Instagram - Intro/outro music: Jeff II - Wait For Me https://youtu.be/YuBBSQI2XDQ   This is a public episode.
