In this episode, Bill Hansen, an industry celebrity and veteran joins us to share his knowledge on building a caring culture, one that is built on and for its people.

Over the last four decades, Bill Hansen has hosted four U.S. presidents, championship Super Bowl teams, and countless celebrities and athletes. He has catered events for everyone from Pope John Paul II, to The Bush family, The Reagan family, Michael Jordan, Usher, Kim Kardashian and the list goes on.

During our conversation, Bill talked about his roots in entrepreneurship from selling door-to-door and operating concessions, and how the spirit of entrepreneurship is engrained in him and fueled how his company got started.

For Bill, culture is the number one goal, and is an ever-evolving situation as his company aims to build the ultimate family culture. Building this culture is important and one of the key elements that are needed is engaged workers because engaged workers are happy workers, Bill says.

Bill also discusses trends he is currently seeing in the catering space. How highly customized menus are a trend that will stay. He says that more people are using social media to fuel their vision for their events, and how food may now be the last thing that people tend to think of when planning their event experience.

We hope you enjoy this chat with Bill Hansen.
