Not a war with muskets, armored artillery, or laser guns, but more like professors throwing textbooks at one another and jabbing intellectual foes with concise essays and pointed papers of poignant arguments.
I’m talking about the nature versus nurture problem, which is the debate about whether human behavior is determined by genes (nature) or environment (nurture).
The answer isn’t so black and white, but needless to say, many people are born with innate talent and skill.
One of those people is Michael Chernow, who I’m excited to bring onto this episode of the podcast.
He hosts a podcast called Born Or Made, which explores this nature or nurture question through the stories of incredibly successful entrepreneurs and thought leaders.
Michael is one of these success stories himself, though. Not only is he a trained chef who hosted the TV show Food Porn, but he’s started several thriving restaurant businesses, including The Meatball Shop (with 8 locations) and Seamore’s (a sustainable seafood restaurant).

- Why you don’t have to be good at everything
- Effective communication and “how to win friends”
- The power of branding and knowing how to sell
- How he transitions a business concept and vision into reality
- His best cooking hacks (including how to make food tastier and the ultimate hack to eat healthier)
- And more . . .
