  • Ep. 12 - Southern Flavors and Community Ties with The Buttered Biscuit
    May 23 2024

    Raise your glasses for a hearty toast to entrepreneurship and epicurean delights as the guys share a bottle of Heaven Hill bourbon with Sam of the Buttered Biscuit on the B-Team Podcast. Your host, Josh Saffran, is joined by co-host Matt Marrs, as they take you on a journey from the boardroom to the kitchen, discovering how a dream and $164,000 turned into a breakfast haven in Bentonville. And while Rob's away, his mother, Emily, steps in, adding a sprinkle of maternal wisdom.

    The guys are in for a treat as they unravel the secrets behind creating the perfect flaky biscuit and mouthwatering spreads like bacon jam and lemon lavender butter. They get their hands doughy discussing everything from the intricacies of homemade granola to the challenges of keeping gravy at its peak freshness all day. Join them as they mull over the tantalizing dance between indulgence and health, teasing the possibility of their own granola hitting shelves near you and the anticipation of new treats like the yogurt parfait.

    Gathering around the table, they dig deep into more than just their plates, highlighting the embrace of community through Project Biscuit, an initiative serving up more than just food. They chat about the joy of giving back and the threads that bind us together over shared meals, as well as the thrill of biking through Bentonville's vibrant trails. Wrapping up, they bid a fond farewell to Emily as she embarks on a new adventure, and leave you reflecting on the intersection of passion, plates, and the power of a great meal to fuel both the body and the soul.

  • Ep. 11 - Kneading Success: The Ozark Mountain Bagel Co.'s Journey
    May 16 2024

    When Rob pulled his Houdini act on us, little did we know that RJ would swoop in with a cape of wit to save the podcast day. This serendipitous shuffle set the stage for an episode that's as much a bagel-fest as it is a masterclass in rolling with the punches of small business life. Bill and Sheila, the heart and soul behind Ozark Mountain Bagel, dish on their leap from Oklahoma to Bentonville's bustling community, driven by fresh air and family ties. Their tale is a mix of yeast, flour, and sheer tenacity, proving that even bagel dough can rise against the odds—even in the midst of a pandemic.

    Ever wondered what kind of mettle it takes to mentor teenagers in the fast-paced world of retail? Just ask our guests, who've turned their bagel shop into a training ground for young minds to learn life skills that go beyond the counter. Their approach to business is like a perfectly baked bagel: crisp with efficiency but warm with human connection. And for those who think they've got the quirkiest job? Try satisfying the discerning palate of a New Yorker in search of the perfect schmear in Arkansas. Bill and Sheila regale us with tales of peculiar customer requests and the high-stakes drama of the online review ecosystem.

    Wrapping things up with a bit of whimsy, we slice into the curious case of the Special Sandwich Contest—a testament to how Bill and Sheila keep the bagel biz fresh and engaging. From rare requests that boggle the mind (and sometimes never leave the menu board) to the emotional labyrinth of customer feedback, this episode is a reminder that the secret sauce to a successful business is often a generous dollop of humor. So, come for the bagels, stay for the belly laughs, and perhaps leave with a newfound appreciation for those who spread joy, love, and yes, an expert layer of cream cheese on your daily bread.
