Rob Lynch, CEO of Shake Shack, shares his journey from washing dishes at age five to leading one of the most recognizable burger brands in the world. He talks about his early roots in pizza shops, the lessons learned from working for $5 an hour, and why he believes you should “never trust a skinny restaurant executive.” Rob discusses Shake Shack’s partnership with No Kid Hungry, the company’s commitment to community, and how hospitality can be a vehicle for meaningful impact. He also reflects on leadership, culture, and why staying humble and hungry is the key to building a purpose-driven brand.
