Next Week’s Show…

Next week is a special treat as I have one of our Rockstars guests, Karen Bird, CIO for Hooters of America. If you don’t know her name, you either are brand new to the industry or instead of knowing who the Rockstar’s are, you have been living under a rock!

She is always a sought-out speaker at conventions and there is a reason for that, obviously. I can’t wait to share with you our conversation about their new fast casual concept, Hoots. By the way, this is the first podcast she has every done so there is reason alone to listen to next week’s show.
