Episode notes

Pichon Ashley is the founder of Mama Auntie's Vegan Goodies. She started her business with baked goods from her own kitchen. But on her path to scale, she was confronted with a decision she wasn't sure she could say yes to. What was it and how did she respond? We'll find out later in the show.

Back in March of 2020, Danny Meyer laid off 2,000 people — that's 80 percent of staff at Union Square Hospitality Group, representing 20+ restaurants across the country. It was a heartbreaking decision made with full understanding of the impacts, short and long-term — or as much as can possibly be known in this volatile time. In this special episode, Danny shares why and how he acted so quickly, the process he and his team used to make this decision, the impact of the layoff, and what comes next for his industry.
