Degel will give listeners key insight into his journey from humble beginnings to becoming the owner of a successful restaurant empire. What started as a bartending stint decades ago sparked a desire in the man now known as the "Steak Doctor" to use his cooking and managing skills to start his steakhouse chain based in New York City. Listeners will learn how to make business decisions based on the market's demands, as Degel did when he opened Jack's Shack, a fast casual concept serving healthy, organic and locally-grown food.

"It's always rewarding to spend time with successful people. With Willie, you not only learn about success, but you also learn firsthand what it means to be with a giving individual who is willing to help others learn from him," Ruisi said. 

Join Chris Ruisi on Wednesday, March 12 at 12 p.m. EDT to hear Willie Degel and ask him your specific questions. The show will broadcast live on the Voice America Business Channel, and the archived broadcast can be heard on Chris's show page at Step Up And Play Big.
