3 More Questions (Paul Brown) with David Novak and Koula Callahan

Welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm Kula Callahan and I'm here with David Novak to bring you another edition of Three More Questions. David, today we're debriefing your conversation with Paul Brown. Paul is the co-founder and CEO of Inspire Brands, which is the parent company of six iconic brands that everyone listening to this podcast, number one, has heard about, number two, has eaten at. Yeah, and what are those brands, Kula?

Those brands are Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, Jimmy Johns, Baskin Robbins, and Duncan. And America runs on Duncan. Yeah. Well, America gets a lot of fuel in all those places, for sure. This conversation is an excellent one because all of the conversations that we have are excellent.

But what I really loved about Paul is that he just gets down to exactly what it is he does and exactly what his restaurants do. And they just double down on the obvious. And what I love about that is that they've seen success doing it. And it reminds me, David, of one of your favorite sayings that they use a lot of common sense, but common sense, sadly, is not all that common. Yeah, there's no need to to complicate the uncomplicated.
