In this episode of the Bad Ideas Podcast, host Nick Petros sits down with Erik Frederick, CEO of Uno Restaurants, for a fascinating conversation about his journey—from serving in the Navy to becoming a leader in the restaurant industry. But the real fun begins when they dive into a "bad idea" that could change the way we shop for outdoor gear: In-store Camping Gear Rentals. 🤔Could renting camping gear directly from stores be a game-changer, or is it a logistical nightmare waiting to happen? From operational challenges to customer experience, Erik weighs in on the pros and cons of this out-there concept. They also discuss his approach to simplicity, operational excellence, and building a strong brand.
