Left Hand Turns with Ed Pizza
In this sharp, funny, and wisdom-packed episode, host Jeremiah Isley welcomes longtime friend, restaurateur, and serial podcaster Ed Pizza (aka Edward Pizzarello). From nearly flunking high school to co-owning every Five Guys restaurant in Nevada, Ed walks us through a series of literal and figurative left turns that defined his career. He shares candid insights on entrepreneurial pivots, learning to fail fast, and the value of knowing when a hobby is just a hobby — and when it's something more.
Ed reflects on major wins and spectacular missteps, including a 10-year venture into eco-friendly dry cleaning and investing in startups through a Shark Tank-style lens. The conversation covers everything from the behind-the-scenes struggles of podcasting to the emotional rollercoaster of writing $25k checks into early-stage companies. It's a heartfelt look at the risks, rewards, and real talk of building a portfolio life with purpose.
