In today’s episode, I sit down with the legendary chef and restaurateur Wolfgang Puck to talk about the joy and purpose behind a life’s work. He shares how finding passion, not chasing money, has been the foundation of his success, and why quality, hospitality, and making people feel good are non-negotiables in creating lasting experiences. Wolfgang reflects on the defining moments that shaped his career, from France to founding Spago in Los Angeles, and the lessons his mother instilled that still guide him today.
