[WGD67] Branding, Building A Team, Connecting with Customers, and Delayed Gratification with Jay @Arty_Stan_Pizza [Explicit]

Sorry for the swearing! I will try to chill out on the F Bombs! We speak with Jay from Arty Stan Pizza. Jay talks about delayed gratification, building a team, and being cheeky with his customers. One thing I really love about Jay is his personality and he uses that to not only get rid of the stigma of selling food out of his house, but to build lasting relationships.
