Rise Up! #215 - Chris DiPiazza

[EP215]
Published on: 20 November 2024

When Chris DiPiazza needed a break from his IT business, he took a cooking class with a bread baker.  That class opened up a portal that changed his life and career.  From small beginnings, Chris slowly built up his wholesale business until opening Mighty Bread Co. in a small corner of a larger building in 2017.  These days, his bakery is the main player in the building, as Chris and his team go from success to success.

In this episode, Mark and Chris talk about how Chris' role has changed over the years, how they keep the team's creativity high and cohesion tight, and how he is revelling in connection with his neighbourhood and the robust food community in Philadelphia.

There is also talk about Mark's new project, the Bakery Leadership Circle, which has a new session starting in the Spring 2025.
