How Pizza Magnets Took Over the Internet (with Todd from Popp’s Trophies)
What started as a small-town trophy shop turned into one of the pizza industry’s most viral success stories. In this episode, I chop it up with Todd from Popp’s Trophies—creator of the famous pizza peel magnets.
We talk about his wild leap from landscaping to laser engraving, how a Wu-Tang slice blew up on Instagram, and why investing in yourself always pays off.
Whether you're running a pizzeria, building a brand, or just love a good origin story—this one’s for you.

Whether you’re repping your shop, building out some cool merch, or just want to see your signature pie turned into fridge art—Todd’s your guy.
