This week we're joined by Jim Nellis - owner of RI Food Fights, a business that hosts a series of fun, friendly competitions between restaurants and food businesses showcasing their culinary goods to hundreds of local food lovers - for a conversation about reinventing yourself, embracing change, rediscovering self worth, and having fun with food.
Topics include starting a business from nothing, advantages of being a tech early adopter, being willing to make mistakes, using data to drive your business, brand exposure, and the founder's dilemma.
