That Time I Chatted with Khalil Khamis
On this episode of Teeter Talks, I am accompanied by the wonderful Khalil Khamis! Born into a family renowned in the restaurant industry, Khalil's entrepreneurial journey began early. With a degree in Management Economics and Industry Finance, he co-founded Fresh Media Events Inc., orchestrating hundreds of successful events. As the CEO of Crafty Ramen and the youngest multi-unit franchisee in Harvey’s history, Khalil drives innovation, achieving top-ranking restaurants and leading initiatives in community philanthropy and corporate strategy. Khalil's leadership skills have set him apart, and you will find he is packed with wisdom and invaluable advice for all entrepreneurs. Join us today as we dive into these leadership topics:
- How Khalil achieved the number one Harvey's store in the country by focusing on "fast food, fast" and consumer trust.
- Balancing working in the business versus working on the business in entrepreneurship.
- Khalil's story of growing up in the restaurant business with refugee parents who dreamed of owning Harvey's franchises and the unique dynamics of a family-run business.
- Embracing changing dreams, the necessity of passion in entrepreneurship, and the willingness to ask questions and learn new skills.
- Leading businesses with a culture that accepts mistakes, but requires learning from them while cultivating a mindset of leading to work yourself out of the job so others can grow.
I hope this chat has left you both inspired and hungry—for success in leadership and entrepreneurship! Personally, I'm already plotting my next stop at Crafty Ramen - and Harvey's. Show Khalil and this podcast some love and support, and remember, your feedback is so valuable—drop a rating or review wherever you're tuning in from!
