A sixty-minute keynote on overcoming family trauma, delivered by the kid brother who did. Jeremy tells the Garber story without flinching and leaves rooms of founders, teams and students with one usable idea: you do not have to be invited to the table to build a better one.
What ten pits, a coin launch and a smoker trailer with a water bowl bolted to it taught him about where restaurants are going: fewer screens between the cook and the fire, more between the guest and the wait. Delivered in a three-piece suit, which Scott once said he'd never own.
Takeaway: technology should make the brisket earlier, not faster.
Growing up second to a sibling who stopped returning your calls, and what it takes to turn that into a fire you own. The Garber story, start to finish, with the parts the family doesn't like. For founders, leadership teams and anyone who was never the favorite.
Takeaway: build the table you weren't invited to.
The one rule GarBBQ was built on, applied to products, teams and people. Patience as a competitive weapon, from a man who opened ten restaurants in three years and still waits fourteen hours for a brisket.
Takeaway: speed is not the same as being early.
On boundaries. Who gets in, who doesn't, and why Jeremy blocked exactly one wallet address when he launched Garbercoin. Funny on the surface, serious underneath. Popular with family-business audiences.
Takeaway: a boundary is a business decision.
Boukzam's last week and the Chicago Marathon. Grief, discipline and showing up when you are not ready. Jeremy's most requested talk for healthcare, education and nonprofit audiences.
Takeaway: you can run and cry at the same time. He has the splits to prove it.
Founder conferences, franchise conventions, hospitality groups, university commencements, culinary schools, running clubs, youth mentoring programs, and, increasingly, family-business summits where half the room has a Scott.
