Do you have ambitions to chase fame through your craft or passion?
Why do we get into pizza? Is it to make amazing pizza. Is it to have a business that supports you and your loved ones? Why do so many people fall into this trap of chasing fame?
Cam believes that people should know and understand one word- "Enough."
If you get into pizza for fame and accolades, not only do you have to work your ass off, but you have to bend over backwards for gatekeepers who don't give a damn about you. And if that is something you want, fine. But ask yourself, "Why?" and "Who might I hurt if I take this path?" "Can I chase this dream with integrity and keep my authenticity?"
Welcome to the esoteric bull sh!t that Cam and I talk about. This segment and episode might be a bit deep, maybe even dark. But hey, we can learn from everyone, right?
This segment reminds of a few words that John Arena shared with me in our episode together-
"I think the modern generation of pizza makers has done some extraordinary work, but we also have some people that the work itself is just a tool for personal fame. The fame is just an accidental by-product of doing good work. I think what's important is that the pizzaiolo serves the craft and the craft is not there to serve the pizzaiolo."
