Whether it's pizza, business, or life, my guests and I are always talking about ways we can level up.I am a dough lover who started this podcast to learn about pizza and starting a pizzeria. So far, I have learned that there is so much more to it than just making pizza. On this show, we interview a range of guests- From 13-time World Pizza Champion Tony Gemignani, to the lesser known apartment baker who makes eye-catching pizza on Instagram, the conversations we have with our guests allow you to learn from their successes and avoid their failures!-Eidref(Eye-Drif)eidref@whatsgooddough.com
