In today’s episode, I sit down with Wolfgang Puck, a culinary icon whose restaurants have shaped fine dining around the world. We talk about what it takes to create not just a great meal but an unforgettable experience, from hand-selecting ingredients at the farmer’s market to making every guest feel like the most important person in the room. Wolfgang shares how his mother’s encouragement and his stepfather’s harshness pushed him toward excellence, and why discipline, humility, and consistency matter in both life and business. He also explains the simple rule that has guided his success for decades: spend less than you make.
