Yesterday the class had the opportunity to tour Platt Daddy BBQ and hear from Jeremy about his journey in building the business.

Jeremy spoke with incredible vulnerability about the role family has played in his life and why he started the business in the first place. The class got a behind the scenes look at entrepreneurship that most people rarely get to hear. His upbringing and childhood experiences shaped not only the creation of Platt Daddy BBQ but also the vision for expanding the business into an additional space where families can gather and kids have a place to play.

Jeremy also talked through the intricacies of running both a restaurant and catering business. He shared insights on profit margins, sales, and the realities of managing operations day to day. One of the most encouraging parts of his story was the overwhelming support from the community when they made the leap from catering into a brick and mortar location.

It was a powerful example of what can happen when family, community, and hard work come together.
