Podcast Episode Five - What can a project manager learn from a chef?

In this podcast episode of "What can a project manager learn from X?" I interview Dale Levitski, Executive Chef of Sprout Restaurant in Chicago and Season 3 Top Chef runner-up on Bravo's wildly popular TV show.

We talked about the creative process involved with making a new dish, the challenges involved with running a restaurant, and the process of training new chefs, and a host of other things. I had a blast doing this interview with Dale and am really grateful that he took the time to sit down with me.

Dale also writes and video blogs on The Sprout Crowd, which has quickly become one of the most popular food blogs in the city of Chicago.

I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did and can take something away from it that can help you better manage your projects, run your business, make your music, write your software or whatever it is that you're working on.

As always, you can listen right here on this blog, or subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.

Thanks again Dale!

  1. Nicely done. It is certainly a tough balance scaling anything and staying involved in the day-to-day stuff you enjoy.

    I thought Dale made a good point that producing a good dining experience involves more than cooking. It is good to consider the tangible result that our, often abstract, work produces.
