  The Rise of Layne's Chicken Fingers ft. Garrett Reed

  Aug 21, 202645 min

  Garrett Reed spent years helping grow Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and Corner Bakery before developing 200+ restaurant locations across 37 states. So when he decided to take Layne's Chicken Fingers — a Texas A&M cult favorite with a fiercely loyal following — and turn it into a national brand, he wasn't guessing. He had a blueprint. This week we're getting into the strategy behind one of the most exciting chicken concepts in the country, what smart expansion actually looks like, and why Layne's is just getting started. You won't want to miss this. Layne's Chicken Fingers

  Artist or CEO? Why Building a Brand Requires Both ft. Silvina Petrate

  Aug 14, 202634 min

  Silvina Petrate didn't set out to build a luxury empire. She started with a passion for handcrafted furniture and spent two decades quietly turning it into Nativa Interiors — a vertically integrated design company spanning custom manufacturing, interior design, and retail showrooms that redefine what a furniture brand can be. This conversation goes way beyond beautiful spaces. We got into what luxury customers are actually paying for, why physical retail still wins when it's done right, and what it really takes to balance the soul of an artist with the mind of a CEO. One thing Silvina said that we haven't stopped thinking about: your space tells a story about who you are. If you're building a brand, obsessed with design, or just fascinated by what it takes to build something that lasts — this one is for you. Nativa Interiors

  Creating Craveable Brands ft. Danna Pyper Haydar

  Jul 31, 202650 min

  Danna Pyper Haydar left a career as an attorney for the Tampa Bay Lightning to build not one, not two, but multiple businesses from the ground up, completely on her own terms. From a wildly creative restaurant concept with a cult following, to a high-end full-service steakhouse she built and operated entirely solo, Danna has cracked the code on turning bold ideas into brands people fall in love with. Now she's back at it, building Leoma Artisan Cheesecake, and scaling Pyper Malone, her luxury hat brand that every national retailer is talking about. We talked about what it actually takes to build brands people obsess over, what she'd negotiate differently in every lease, and what the restaurant world taught her about the fashion industry. This one is for every founder who keeps betting on themselves. Pyper Malone Leoma Artisan Cheesecake

  Winning in New York Retail ft. Avi Akiva

  Jul 24, 202641 min

  What does it take to build a commercial real estate brokerage from scratch in one of the most competitive retail markets in the world? This week on Brick & Brand, we sat down with Avi Akiva, Founder & CEO of Momentum Realty Group, to talk about launching his own firm in NYC, and what it takes to win there. We cover why Manhattan retail is unlike any other market, the leap from top-producing broker to founder, what retailers consistently underestimate about expanding into the city, and how tech is reshaping brokerage while relationships still win deals. As Avi puts it: the best brokers don't just close deals... they become the first call when an opportunity comes along. Momentum Realty Group
