One year ago, we took a leap and stepped way outside our comfort zone to film The Blox 🎬

7 days.
Almost no prep time.
Intense business challenges.
Live pitches under bright lights.
Cameras everywhere.
And some of the most inspiring entrepreneurs from across the country.

Honestly… it was scary at times 😅

05/12/2026

The wait is over! 🎬 Season 22 of The Blox is LIVE.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to build a startup from the ground up under pressure, this is the season to watch. Grab your popcorn and join us for the ride!

People didn’t come for a free sample…
They stayed because they loved it.

We ran a simple test at Arlington:
👉 “Try the sample. Drop your vote.”

No ads. No push. Just real reactions.

Result?
The crowd has spoken. ❤️

This is what Bowl’d Masala is about—
Real food. Real feedback. Real people.

📍 Now open: Pentagon City, Arlington VA
Come try it yourself… and be honest 😉

Before strategy… there’s ex*****on.

I still spend time in real locations, real kitchens, real environments.

Because franchising is not theory — it’s operations.

Big things happening in Las Vegas this week!

I’m so grateful to be receiving a Business Leadership Excellence Award at the CXO 2.0 Conference. It’s been a long journey from running A&W restaurants to building Bowl’d Masala.

I’ll also be speaking on a panel about the lessons I learned when things didn't go as planned. Those lessons are the heart of my new book, "From Crew Member to Founder," out SOON!

Thank you for all the support. Let’s go! 🚀

He said he was "working late"... technically he’s not lying! 😹 The newest member of the Bowl'd Masala team takes his job very seriously.
