    Oct 28 2024

    You could say Bryan Lewis and his partner, Morgan Kulessa, launched their “WingBar” on a wing and a prayer—and, thankfully, with incredible chicken recipes! In the unforgiving restaurant industry, where dishes are scrutinized daily and success stories are rare, Bryan and Morgan’s tale of building an award-winning restaurant in just one year is as remarkable as their flavors. Timing—and taste—are everything, but so is teamwork, and these two partners have it down to an art.

    In this episode of Biz-Souls, hosts Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler dig into Bryan and Morgan’s journey, with insights from Morgan on the digital marketing strategy that’s helped WingBar carve out its spot in McGinley Square. Morgan’s background in hospitality and sales has allowed her to amplify WingBar’s appeal and engage a loyal local crowd and wing-lovers statewide.

    Whether it’s crafting unforgettable food or unforgettable connections, Morgan and Bryan prove that with the right partnership, you can achieve anything. Oh, and did we mention Bryan’s Rona’s nephew? Talk about family ties—and award-winning wings!

    Join Bryan and Morgan journey in building a business one day at a time by keeping an eye on the food, front end, and backside of the business in a partnership certain to result in continued success as they continue to take WingBar from a concept to a staple in the Jersey food scene.

  • Episode 138: Freeways, Barns, and Boardrooms - A Fun Look at Sharing Information
    Oct 14 2024

    New in town? Need directions? If you're in Los Angeles, you’ll hear, “Take the 405 to the 101, then hop on the 10…” Sound familiar? Now, in Ronan, Montana, it’s more like, “Turn left at the third fence post after the big red barn.” The contrast is striking, and that's where the fun or the frustration begins!

    And it’s not just about directions, it’s all forms of information exchange. Whether it's shooting out a shopping list as someone heads out the door, explaining how to log into a new system at work, or remembering navigation instructions as you weave your way through a sprawling Hampton’s mansion to find the bathroom, we all communicate differently.

    In this fractured fairy tale of an episode of Biz-Souls, our hosts, Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler, explore how people give and receive information based on their habits, from the hustle of city life to the quiet of rural settings. Join us for a lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek yet insightful look at this everyday activity that touches us all.

    Can you relate? Whether you're a freeway navigator, a fence post counter, or a new employee ambassador, this episode has something for you. Share your favorite information-giving or receiving moments with us and enjoy this playful discussion! Now where is that bathroom?

    Listen now and laugh along!
