• Ep. 76 - Finding Purpose Through Culture and Cuisine with Marcel Robert

  In this episode, Adam sits down with Marcel Robert, a chef and entrepreneur whose story is shaped by cultural diversity, curiosity, and the courage to follow his passion. Growing up in Port Chester with a Dutch-Surinamese father and a multi-ethnic mother, Marcel was immersed in different perspectives from an early age. His father’s example as an immigrant who built a business from the ground up instilled in him the value of hard work and accountability. Marcel shares how his academic path shifted from engineering to political science to anthropology, before he found his true calling in the kitchen. Cooking, he explains, wasn’t just a skill — it was the one place that gave him energy, focus, and joy. That passion ultimately led to the creation of Belle Hill Dining, his private dining company, launched in the wake of COVID. Marcel reflects on the challenges of starting a business, learning patience when traction was slow, and building consistency in both craft and mindset. This conversation explores themes of cultural identity, resilience, and the importance of trusting your instincts when charting a new path. Marcel’s journey reminds us that purpose often emerges when we combine our roots, passions, and persistence.

Dan helps leadership teams implement the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to get clear, aligned, and focused. Through vision work, operational structure, and team health, he equips organizations to become more functional, more cohesive, and more impactful.
