Lee and his wife owned a backpackers hostel and boutique hotel in downtown Seattle for 14 years. Unfortunately, due to the COVID tragedy, they became victims of the pandemic and adversely affected their business. Throughout those years, Lee had always been passionate about making pizza and often made it for their traveling guests. He had always dreamed of turning his love for pizza into his retirement plan, but when COVID struck and destroyed their business, he decided to accelerate his timeline. Lee embraced the opportunity and decided to focus on making pizzas, turning it into a new venture amidst the challenging times.

Garret's pizza journey began at 17 when a friend got him a job at a local pizzeria. He spent five years watching and learning from the owner, but never had the courage to ask for hands-on training. Years later, another friend taught him the necessary skills, allowing him to put his knowledge into action. It has been 15 years since Garret started his career in pizza-making.

Jeffrey is a retired Air Force veteran who discovered his love for food and started his own sandwich food truck business. When his friends who owned Heart Brewing asked him to become a partner and bring food to their establishment, Jeffrey jumped at the opportunity. He became an expert in pizza-making, attending the Pizza Expo 2017 and experimenting with different styles and toppings every weekend. But they eventually got sick of pizza, leading to the creation of the infamous "crust bucket" where customers could try different flavors and provide feedback. Jeffrey's passion for food has not stopped since.

May 23, 2023
Everyone wants to be their own boss and become an entrepreneur to escape the 9-5. Little do they know it goes from 9-5 to 24/7
 
There is no "clocking out" when you're the owner.
 
They think it "must be nice" to:
-Make my own hours.
-Work whenever I want.
-Have no one telling me what to do.
-Make as much money as I want.
 
How it actually works:
-You're always working
-You never clock out
-Vacations are still work times
-You get paid last
-Everyone thinks they know better than you and can run your business better.
-The possibility of losing it all runs through your mind every day.
 
But, with all that said it's still better than working for someone. It's just not as glamorous as Youtube makes it seem.
