Building Bolay With Chris Gannon - Healthy Food Franchises, Fatherhood, Living Boldly & Leading With Purpose

What does it take to build a thriving gluten free fast casual franchise, raise a family with intention, swim from Alcatraz, and carry on a legendary restaurant legacy? I sat down with Chris Gannon, co-founder of Bolay Fresh Fast Casual, to find out.

Chris shares the business and life lessons he absorbed growing up watching his father Tim Gannon build Outback Steakhouse, and how he channeled that into creating one of the most exciting healthy food franchises in the country. We dig into what leading by example really looks like - as a CEO, as a triathlete, as an equestrian, and as a dad.

Chris also shares what being chosen as Chief Osceola at FSU truly required, and why that experience shaped his leadership style in ways he still draws from today. If you care about entrepreneurship, wellness, clean eating, and living with purpose, this episode is for you.
