In the season premiere of the Titans of Foodservice podcast, host Nick Portillo shares insights from the past eight years of his career in foodservice and his passion for helping people achieve success in an industry that is constantly changing. He discusses how the foodservice brokerage world is evolving, the lack of resources for people starting out in foodservice, and how he hopes to drive as much value as possible to listeners this season.
QUOTES
- “In order to be successful you have to just get out there and do it. There are no books you can read. There are no videos or tutorials. It is getting out there, dragging the bag, going to see customers face to face, and experiencing failure and success.” - Nick Portillo [01:05]
- “When you make the big decision to hire a foodservice broker there is a cost to it. You have to have a relationship with those people and build trust. There has to be integrity that you are going to get the job done. There are a lot of different moving pieces.” - Nick Portillo [15:39]
