About the author, Eric Martin
I have over 27 yrs. experience in the foodservice industry where I started in entry level sales calling on chefs and restaurant owners day in and day out. In 2006, I recognized my dream of becoming a business owner when my partners and I purchased the company that we helped build. During my career, I've grown to learn that restaurant owners are some of the most special entrepreneurs in the world. As the Founder of the Feeding Your Passion podcast, I'm excited about this opportunity to tell their stories.
