Hey brain stuff listeners! Today, instead of a regular whole episode, we've got another

preview of the long-running podcast on the job. For this mini-series, we've teamed up with them

to bring you a few samples of what they do, which is engaged with professionals from all kinds

of businesses about what they do, from publishing STEM-based comic books to catering comfort food

to underserved populations. Through these stories, the team tries to help explain and explore

different aspects of what working means in our world today. When they're sponsoring us to run

these episodes, I think it's a good fit because it's a look into how different jobs work.

Today's episode is about a guy who is inspired to engineer his own portable wood-fired pizza ovens

and build a business around them. This is going to be our last preview for a few weeks, but we'll

have more for you next month, and if you want to keep listening or explore their previous six seasons,

you can find on the job from Express Employment Services wherever you get your podcasts.

It's a beautiful day here in Lano, Texas. The birdies are chirping, the wildflowers are in bloom,

and it's day three of the Lano Earth Art Festival. But I'm not here for the music

or the world championship rock-stacking competition, although I will definitely be checking that out.

We'll get that pie. Nope, I'm here to get some pizza. All right, man.

But as you're about to hear, two pizzas. This isn't your run of the milk pizza trip.

All right, there you go. Thank you, you guys have a good one.

My name is Jake Wright. I am the owner of Omai Pizza Pie, a mobile wood-fired pizza business.

I'm based in San Marcus, Texas, but we sling pizzas all across Texas.

All right, we'll get a spicy.

Jake Wright never planned to be a pizza man, but as you're about to hear, life had other designs.

To understand that though, we need to take a look back, way back.
