Wing discusses his journey in the restaurant industry, the struggle to maintain consistency, the challenges of scaling, and his philosophy on community collaboration. Despite the uncertainties, Wing emphasizes the importance of giving back and taking a business approach to solving nonprofit challenges, ultimately reshaping how people view charitable organizations.
