IHOP Dishwasher Turned Culinary Star

Scott Lynch
About this episode

Born in Venezuela, Chef Jesus Diaz is a renowned Latin American chef, author, and TV personality. His remarkable journey from a modest start as a dishwasher at IHOP to becoming an award-winning figure is shaped by his childhood experiences, mindset, dedication, and distinctive leadership approach. In this episode, we discuss harnessing the impact of purposefully cultivating white space, how his openness and inquisitiveness accelerated his learning and propelled his success, the mindset of gratitude that shaped Jesus into not just a great leader, but also, a thinker of abundance, and his readiness to step into the trenches and lead with a mindset of "acceptance of what is."
