In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Chef Aaron Young, author of ChefauChef: Feed the Dream: A Caterer’s Guide to Purpose, Profit, and People.

Aaron is a personal chef, entrepreneur, and the founder of ChefauChef LLC — a catering company built on faith, family values, and heartfelt hospitality. Since 2012, he’s transformed his side hustle into a Midwest staple, serving weddings, Greek houses, corporate events, and everyday families with purpose-driven food and an unshakable belief that meals create moments.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to turn your personal story into a thriving business, why fun and empathy are the secret ingredients of great leadership, and what it really takes to serve others with excellence — in food, in business, and in life.

We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with Chef Aaron Young.
