Welcome to episode ten (yes, TEN) of Chamber Voices! This time, we’re headed to Earls Kitchen + Bar to speak to Operations Partner and Manager Stu Wigle. Since arriving to Fort McMurray over a decade and a half ago, Stu has applied his strong work ethic, and unique leadership philosophy to transform Earls from worst to first!
Part 1: Stu talks about arriving to Fort McMurray with a “three-year plan”, and what it is that keep him, his wife, and their four sons here. He also discusses why allowing your team the freedom and ability to lead is one of the most important things you can do as a business owner.
Part 2: We discuss Earls’ social media marketing strategy, why it’s important to recognize the people behind your business, and why community service should carry as much weight as revenue to a business owner.
